Valispace is a  productivity software and a single source of truth for all of the ‘’loose’’ engineering data of hardware projects, helping engineers streamline efforts from concept to test and escape from document hell! We have one simple mission: to empower engineers to faster craft the complex products that help propel humanity forward.

We are a diverse, kind, curious and ambitious team and take pride in working closely with companies that are building futuristic ideas that seem like magic to us today. That’s right, our users are taking people to space, building flying cars and much more! 

If you like the idea of working in an environment that encourages creative and  autonomous work, focuses on your growth potential and where there’s always room to discuss the quirks of living on this planet, then we might just be a perfect fit. 

Valispace is focusing on solving the challenges engineers face when developing modular hardware. The more modular a product is, the higher the complexity of its own data (content, quantity, interconnections and impacts), possibly with exponential growth. We seek a Backend Engineer to craft the core infrastructure for a data-driven decision-making system. You'll manage, process, and deliver essential features to users, ensuring they have the best tools that provide them with insights that drive their decisions.

  • Be part of the backend hivemind: Help define the technical direction of our backend, ensuring it's robust, scalable, and meets the ever-evolving needs of our product.
  • Tackle technical challenges, solo and side-by-side: Dive deep into complex technical tasks, working autonomously and alongside your team to optimize our application's systems and lifecycle.
  • Champion simplicity and performance: You'll have a keen eye for identifying areas where our services can be simpler and more performant. Be the one to propose and discuss solutions that elevate the user experience and overall efficiency.
  • Grow together, share knowledge: We foster a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing. You'll have the opportunity to learn from and mentor your teammates, contributing to a collaborative environment where everyone thrives.

What we're looking for 🔎

  • 4+ years of experience in developing scalable cloud-based software, microservices and/or event-driven architectures;
  • Ability to present options for solutions that are well summarized, weighted against each other and coordinated with affected team members;
  • Good knowledge of Python Django;
  • Fluency in English (verbal and written);
  • Collaborative and a team player;
  • Passionate about taking the responsibility of delivering high quality software, understanding and providing the best experience for the user to solve their needs.
  • You like seeing the big picture. Understand that decisions in one area may impact others, so you can take the best approach

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
