Senior Frontend Developer

Front-End Developer (Earth Observation / Geospatial)

Sector: Earth Observation, Space, Geospatial

Experience: Mid–Senior Level (4+ years experience)

New Space Technical are working with an exciting New Space company that is building a modern geospatial platform to support next-generation satellite data products. Backed by strong technical leadership and a clear mission, this company is focused on making complex spatial data easier to explore, analyze, and act on.

This is an opportunity to join early, have real ownership, and help shape a product that sits at the intersection of space, software, and data.

As a Front-End Engineer, you’ll focus on building high-performance user interfaces using React and Type Script , enabling users to explore complex geospatial data such as:

• Raster imagery (e.g. GeoTIFFs) visualized via modern web mapping frameworks
• Vector spatial data for overlays, annotations, and region-based analysis
• Spatial reference systems and map projections to align and compare datasets

You’ll help solve one of the core challenges in EO software: making large, high-dimensional spatial datasets feel fast, usable, and intuitive for end users.

• Building and maintaining modern front-end applications with React and Type Script
• Developing reusable, well-structured UI components with performance in mind
• Turning product requirements and design concepts into intuitive user experiences
• Integrating front-end features with backend APIs and asynchronous data pipelines
• Contributing to UI architecture, performance optimisation, and shared component libraries
• Working closely with product, design, and engineering in a fast-moving startup environment

Required

• 4+ years of experience building web applications with React and Type Script
• Strong understanding of component-based architecture, state management, and async data handling
• Experience working within larger codebases and improving existing systems
• Experience integrating front-end applications with backend services and APIs
• Familiarity with modern front-end tooling, testing, and build systems

Nice to Have

• Experience with web mapping libraries (Mapbox GL JS or similar)
• Experience with performance tuning in React
• Good UI/UX instincts and experience collaborating with designers

• Join a New Space
  EO startup where your work has visible, real-world impact
• High ownership and influence over product and technical direction
• Work on cutting-edge Earth observation and geospatial technology
• Collaborate with a small, highly technical team that values quality and clarity
• Strong opportunities for growth as the company scales

If you’re a front-end engineer excited by space, geospatial data, and early-stage environments, this is a rare chance to work on a genuinely meaningful product.
