Senior Backend Software Engineer
Spire Global · Boulder, CO · Posted 99 days ago
About the Role
Spire is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design, build, and improve the reliable and secure systems that support our satellite and ground infrastructure.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on backend systems, platform engineering, observability, and infrastructure-aware software development. You’ll work closely with software, infrastructure, and cybersecurity teams to implement scalable solutions that support operational reliability and secure engineering practices.
We are not looking for a dedicated cybersecurity specialist. Instead, we’re seeking an experienced software engineer who has worked alongside security teams and has experience implementing technical requirements related to security, reliability, and compliance within production systems.
This role is best suited to engineers who enjoy solving technically challenging problems and have experience working on complex systems in industries such as aerospace, scientific computing, telecommunications, biotech, robotics, or other high-reliability environments.
What You'll Do:
- Design, develop, and maintain backend services and platform tooling
- Collaborate with cybersecurity and infrastructure teams to implement secure engineering requirements
- Contribute to modernising services, container environments, and CI/CD workflows
- Improve telemetry, monitoring, logging, and observability across production systems
- Support cloud-based infrastructure and deployment workflows in AWS environments
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and engineering best practices
- Work across infrastructure, backend systems, and operational tooling in a collaborative engineering environment
