Datadog for Space
Our customers run satellite missions on our software. Failure isn't an option. As a Forward Deployed Product Engineer, you make sure our software holds up at the edge, where it matters most.
You'll also spot what's missing, what could be simpler, and what should exist but doesn't yet, then turn those observations into product direction.
This is a product role as much as an engineering one. You'll work in the field, in ops centers, and alongside customers. You're a generalist who moves across the full stack, from infrastructure to frontend, and you use AI as leverage to ship faster. At Quindar, we believe the future belongs to engineers who use AI to move faster, build better, and shape the next generation of our products
Configure and deploy our software in customer environments, ensuring reliability and performance across complex workflows.
Troubleshoot issues across backend APIs, cloud infrastructure, databases, and the frontend.
Travel to customer sites and embed with operations teams, building trusted technical relationships.
Prototype products and iterate quickly with live customer data and direct feedback.
Act as the voice of the customer in product discussions, translating field insights into roadmap priorities, solutions, and integrations.
Partner with Product & Engineering to turn successful prototypes into production code.
Develop playbooks for repeatable integrations and maintain clear documentation and training resources.

Have you seen Apollo 13, The Martian, or Armageddon and recall all of the NASA engineers in a room with a bunch of monitors? Quindar is digitizing that away. Satellites are flying servers in space and we are revolutionizing the future of spacecraft operations by building the DataDog for space.
Our team has worked at SpaceX, OneWeb, Lockheed Martin, Iridium, Boeing, AWS, and RedHat. We've operated dozens of satellites, worked on broadband and earth observation constellations, and serviced commercial and government users. We are using lessons learned from our previous aerospace and startup experiences to revolutionize the space industry and enable access to space without being an expert.
