Apply ML and AI techniques to detect anomalies, predict failures, and optimize constellation performance
Work directly with data at every layer from pipeline design to query
Define and instrument SLOs and reliability metrics for space and ground assets
Build monitoring and alerting systems that know what matters and ruthlessly suppress noise
Own configuration control and software rollout processes for on-orbit and ground assets
Build real-time dashboards and operator tooling that make mission status immediately legible
Collaborate directly with satellite operators and mission teams to turn operational pain into software solutions
Design systems for automated mission execution including planning, scheduling, and commanding at scale

Spire is making a fundamental shift in how it operates its constellation. We are moving from a model where trained operators watch dashboards and escalate to experts, to one where the system is fully autonomous, self-healing, and data intelligent. This team is building that future, and this role sits at the center of it.
