About the Role
Spire is seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to design, build, and continuously improve dependable, secure systems that support satellite and ground infrastructure.
This is a hands-on role centered on backend engineering, platform development, observability, and building infrastructure-aware software. You will partner with software, infrastructure, and cybersecurity teams to deliver scalable solutions that strengthen operational reliability and promote secure engineering practices.

Responsibilities
- Develop backend services and platform capabilities that support operational reliability
- Build and improve observability tooling to enable monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting
- Implement security-, reliability-, and compliance-related requirements in production systems
- Collaborate with infrastructure, cybersecurity, and software teams to design scalable solutions
- Contribute to technical design, code reviews, and engineering best practices
- Troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems and infrastructure
Requirements
- Proven experience building backend systems in a production environment
- Strong understanding of platform engineering concepts and scalable system design
- Hands-on experience with observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and operational tooling
- Experience working with security and compliance requirements in engineering workflows
- Ability to operate effectively in complex, technical domains and solve ambiguous problems
- Strong collaboration skills across engineering and cross-functional partners
Benefits
- Opportunity to work on mission-critical infrastructure supporting satellite and ground operations
