Spire operates its own satellite constellation and sells RF-derived weather, ship and aircraft tracking data alongside space-as-a-service. The stack spans embedded hardware work (FreeRTOS, ARM Cortex, Verilog, Altium) and cloud ops (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), with Python being replaced as legacy systems move to a Rust distributed architecture. Engineering-led hiring is accelerating, focused on autonomous constellation operations and reducing manual operator toil.
Spire is a public company headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, founded in 2012, with 201–500 employees. It builds and operates a satellite constellation that observes Earth using radio frequency sensing, producing datasets on weather, maritime vessel movements, aviation, and GPS spoofing and jamming. It also offers space services that let customers run their own payloads on its infrastructure. Spire has offices across the U.S., Canada, UK, Luxembourg, Germany and Singapore, and is hiring in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Luxembourg. Commercial operations run on Salesforce, HubSpot and NetSuite.
Spire uses Rust, Python, C++, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform and Wiz for software, FreeRTOS, ARM Cortex, Verilog, VHDL and Altium for hardware, and Salesforce, HubSpot and NetSuite for business systems.
Yes. Job posts describe migrating legacy Python systems to a Rust-based distributed architecture, and Python appears as a technology being replaced.
Spire is building autonomous constellation operations, fleet-wide change rollout, observability for satellite-side services, and driving adoption of its forecast data, plus an EMEA and APAC sales territory plan.
