Software Development Engineer in Test - Frontend

We know you have access to GPT. We use them too. But for your application, please leave

the LLM off. We would much rather read two sentences of genuine, slightly imperfect English

about who you are than a flawless, five-paragraph AI-generated essay that sounds like

everyone else.

About Spacebackend 

Spacebackend revolutionizes system integration in the aerospace industry through AI-driven interoperability across various hardware components. Our product LynapseTM streamlines the entire satellite integration workflow by enabling modular integration across payloads, components, and subsystems. The LynapseTM core technology transforms hardware specifications into digital twins and automatically generates, tests, and validates hardware-agnostic, OS-agnostic on-board satellite middleware software. LynapseTM is a web-based collaborative modeling and design tool for mission-critical projects, allowing teams to create, test, validate, and simulate data interfaces for dozens or hundreds of hardware components composing satellites, spacecraft, or lunar landers.

Our Hiring Process

We understand the reality of the current job market: you are competing against hundreds of

"perfect" automated resumes, which forces you to polish every word and cast a wide net

just to get noticed. We want to bypass that noise and respect your time. Our hiring process

is straightforward, transparent, and entirely human. We start by reviewing your initial

application for a high-level mutual fit. If we believe there is a match, the next step is simple:

we will ask you to send over a short, 60-to-90-second video just talking to us - no production

value needed, just you. From there, we move into live, collaborative conversations where we

look at actual code together and discuss your technical approach. We do not use unpaid

take-home projects or automated quizzes in our hiring process.
