Willing to work across the full stack as the primary builder in a small team

Strong Python skills; experience with FastAPI, Django, or similar frameworks

JavaScript or TypeScript with a modern front-end framework (React preferred)

Comfortable with databases, Docker, and basic DevOps

Curiosity about space, scientific computing, or complex engineering domains - you do not need to be a rocket scientist, but you should want to understand what the platform does

USEFUL BUT NOT REQUIRED

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
