About Spire
Spire Global is a space-to-cloud analytics company that owns and operates the largest multi-purpose constellation of satellites. Its proprietary data and algorithms provide the most advanced maritime, aviation, and weather tracking in the world. In addition to its constellation, Spire’s data infrastructure includes a global ground station network and 24/7 operations that provide real-time global coverage of every point on Earth.
In the time it takes you to read this job description our low earth orbit nanosatellites would have passed overhead at least three times traveling at around 4 nautical miles. Onboard, the satellites are collecting and downloading radio signals (data) that help drive value across the Aviation, Maritime and Weather industries.
Since Spire’s first launch in 2013, we’ve put up more than 100 satellites, each batch better than the previous one (at the time of this writing, we are on our iteration). Our satellites have three payloads: our AIS data receiver, our GNSS/GPS radio occultation receiver, and our ADS-B receiver. The Spire Aviation team is fast growing and is focused on delivering location-based aircraft tracking as part of the ICAO GADSS Mandate and flight planning weather forecasting solutions to customers; all from proprietary data collected from our constellation of satellites.
The Role
Spire Global is seeking a software engineer with experience in technical/scientific domains to support its development of weather-related products based upon Radio Occultation (GNSS-RO) soundings from its unique satellite constellation.
The candidate will join the weather team to support and develop weather-prediction products built on complex scientific-software workflows in an all-cloud IaaS/HPCaaS environment.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated engineer to work on a customer-focused development team that is leveraging an unprecedented large volume of GNSS-RO satellite data to create superior weather forecast products. The successful candidate will join the weather team at the Spire branch office in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
