Your mission is to lead our Java development team in the Software Engineering department both technically and disciplinarily, and together with the team, to develop scalable, robust, and maintainable software solutions as part of the end-to-end OKAPI:Orbits solutions. You will support a team of five Java developers in designing, implementing, and sustainably operating modern microservices and event-driven systems.
In this role, you will combine hands-on technical contributions with strong people leadership. You will write and review code with your team, ensure clarity in priorities, actively invest in the development of your team members, and ensure that technical decisions align with company goals and customer needs. In doing so, you will directly contribute to enabling satellite operators and aerospace agencies to effectively plan, track, and manage their missions in an increasingly dynamic orbital environment.
Research shows that women are less likely to apply for jobs if they do not meet 100% of the requirements. We explicitly want to encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all the requirements, if you have leadership potential, enthusiasm for software development, and a genuine interest in aerospace technology. OKAPI:Orbits already brings together a very diverse team and is actively working to further expand this diversity, as diverse teams perform better and foster innovation.
