Fullstack Software Engineer (Platform)

Northwood engineers and operators run hardware and software across a global network of antenna ground stations and the cloud services behind them. No one sells a platform for running a network like this at scale, so Northwood builds its own.

Platform Engineering builds the software that takes Northwood products from first prototype to full operation. That covers how code is built, tested, and released, how every site and service is monitored, and how hardware in remote locations is brought online, updated, and kept healthy. The problems span CI and release, observability, hardware operations, developer tooling, and security, and every one of them has to work across every site, service, and customer at once.

Few organizations get to build this kind of software in house. What this team builds will shape how a global network of antennas is operated for the missions that depend on it. Every new antenna, site, and customer Northwood adds runs on this platform, and it sets how fast the network can grow. The work includes simulated ground stations and lab test benches running real hardware, where each release is tested against realistic conditions before it reaches a live site.
