Full Stack Developer at Katalyst Space Technologies

At Katalyst, we are pioneering the upgrade economy by transforming how satellites function in orbit. We believe satellite operators should not be limited by the capabilities they launched with, so we are building technology that allows for rapid, routine, and regular in-space reconfiguration. By providing hardware and software upgrades post-launch, we help our customers maintain a competitive edge and move away from the traditional single-use satellite model. If you are ready to see your code make a tangible impact on the space industry, we want to meet you.
