Full-Stack Engineer

PAVE Space is building LYOBA, a heavy kick stage moving up to 4-tonne payloads from LEO to high-energy orbits in under 24 hours.

To move at that pace, our aerospace engineers cannot rely on disconnected tools, manual coordination, and information trapped in the wrong place. We already have a first working version of our internal web-app suite. Now it needs to grow into the operating layer for agile systems engineering at scale: the place where workflows, interfaces, decisions, and technical context stay connected as the programme gets more complex.

This is not software for software’s sake. You will be building tools that real engineers use to make better decisions, reduce coordination drag, and keep complex hardware development moving.

Passion for improving user workflows, not just building technically interesting tools

Strong product judgement: you can tell the difference between what users ask for and what will actually solve the problem

Ability to work closely with technical and non-technical people, and understand how your software decisions affect their day‑to‑day work

Comfort with changing objectives, incomplete requirements, and iteration based on direct user feedback

Care for engineering quality while still moving in days and weeks

Independence: you can learn what you need, make decisions with limited supervision, and drive work to completion

Taste for simple, robust systems over clever architecture that nobody else can maintain

Own a suite of internal web apps end to end: backend, frontend, UI, QA, testing, deployment, and maintenance

Architect and develop interfaces, state management, APIs, schemas, and access patterns that support complex engineering workflows without making them painful to use

Design and continuously improve the development harness: agent context, repository instructions, and feedback loops, to make AI‑generated changes reliable, secure, and consistent at scale

Turn rough engineering needs into shipped features in days, with direct feedback from the people using them

Integrate data and workflows across systems engineering, hardware, software, and programme execution

Build reliable full‑stack Type Script applications across Next.js, Node services, and Postgres

Improve UX where it matters: fewer clicks, clearer states, better defaults, less manual coordination

One day, you may sit with systems engineers to understand why a workflow breaks down once more teams depend on it. The next, you may be designing the API and frontend primitives that make the improved workflow possible. Later that week, you may be shipping the feature, watching people use it, and deciding what to improve next.

You will regularly face technical problems that are ambiguous, cross‑functional, and tied to real engineering consequences. The job is to scope the right solution, find an incremental path, and ship without turning every problem into a platform rewrite.

4+ years of software engineering experience building production web applications

Strong backend coding skills and a solid understanding of how modern web applications work

Experience with React or similar frontend frameworks, and enough backend ability to own full features without handoffs

Experience using coding agents across real development workflows including investigation, planning, implementation, review and debugging

Willing to design and improve an agentic development harness

Familiarity with data structures, loading patterns, API design, state management, and database‑backed applications

Clear written and verbal communication in English, our working language

Willingness to take ownership of broad, messy problems and drive them to working software

Nice to have: production experience with Next.js App Router, Node…
