Senior Backend Engineer - Integrations presso Hubble Network
Hubble Network · Seattle, Stati Uniti d'America · Hybrid
- Senior
- Ufficio in Seattle
Hubble Network was founded with the intention of delivering on the promise of what Internet-of-Things (IoT) was supposed to be. We're building a global Bluetooth® network dedicated to machine-to-machine connectivity. We differentiate ourselves as the first modem-less and gateway-less, direct-to-satellite network from off-the-shelf Bluetooth® Low Energy chips. Hubble is ideal for applications in logistics, AgTech, and maritime where economies of scale for volume consumer and enterprise asset tracking is a priority. Our goal is to be the first billion-endpoint-connected network in the world.
Hubble is an early-stage, venture-backed startup supported by some of the best investors in the world. In their previous lives, the founding team has been successful in raising $100s of millions in venture funding, developing the Amazon Sidewalk network, launching billions of dollars of space assets, and leading their teams to successful exits, both through acquisition and IPO. We are now looking to bring on talented team members who are the best at what they do to help us make Hubble a reality for the world.
As an Staff Backend Engineer - Integrations, you will own the design and development of Hubble’s Satellite Operations API, which serves as the integration layer between Hubble and satellite operators and other vendors.
This API enables:
- Payload telemetry collection
- Satellite telecommand execution
- Payload delivery integration from satellites to Hubble infrastructure
Beyond satellites, you will also lead partner and customer integrations, ranging from terrestrial Bluetooth® networks to bespoke enterprise customer connections.
This role requires deep backend expertise with strong skills in defining integration requirements, collaborating with external partners, and delivering robust systems integrations.. You will work at the intersection of space operations, IoT, and scalable cloud services—helping build the critical infrastructure that bridges satellites, ground systems, and customers.
This role is open to Onsite/Hybrid in Seattle or San Francisco or Remote Pacific Standard Time.
