Frontend Engineer

Quindar

Quindar builds modern, cloud-native satellite mission operations software with a simple mission: to operate satellites like servers. Our platform replaces fragmented, legacy ground systems with an integrated, automation-driven approach that brings modern software velocity to space operations.

We're a small, fast-moving team with deep aerospace and software roots, energized by big challenges and motivated by the impact we have on real missions in this next chapter of the Space Age. If you want to work with sharp, ambitious people who push boundaries, move quickly, and are excited to take space operations to the next level, Quindar is the place to do it.

Don’t make me think. We are looking for a candidate who can simplify a complex user workflow. We need a candidate that can solve customer pain points from the frontend and is not afraid to talk to users. Our challenge to you is to design and implement our frontend so the user needs virtually no product training and minimal clicks. The super cool part?

You are creating the interface for users to design, test, and operate hundreds of satellites. Whether they want to take pictures, beam broadband/cellular, or dock with another satellite – this is the interface they will use. That giant screen in NASA mission operations photos? That could be yours.

You’ll own meaningful parts of the mission management UI end-to-end. This is a high-trust role: we need someone who is self-directed, can make good product and technical decisions with limited oversight, and is comfortable shipping in compliance-driven settings. You’ll collaborate closely with users and cross-functional partners, while also setting a high bar for code quality and UX.

You’ll be part of a small team of dedicated frontend engineers working closely alongside backend, full stack, and platform engineers to build mission management software. You’ll support a variety of government and commercial satellite missions, all while rapidly iterating with our end users to meet their mission needs!
