Why Join Lacuna Space?
At Lacuna Space, we are pioneering direct-to-satellite IoT connectivity to bridge the global coverage gap. While traditional networks cover only a tiny fraction of the Earth's surface, our low-power Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network connects sensors anywhere on the planet—enabling real-time monitoring across remote and hard to reach areas.
What We Offer:
● High-Impact Mission: Drive technology that directly combats environmental challenges— from conservation and water monitoring, to smart agricultural solutions.
● Cutting-Edge Innovation: Work with ground-breaking space technology. We enable standard, battery-powered sensors to communicate directly with space without heavy ground infrastructure.
● Growth & Ownership: Join a high-agility, scaling team where your individual contributions directly shape our commercial trajectory, product roadmap, and team culture.
The Impact You’ll Make:
Leveraging our direct-to-satellite IoT network, your expertise will bring critical connectivity to the most remote corners of the planet—fuelling data-driven solutions for climate action, biodiversity, and environmental stewardship where traditional infrastructure simply cannot reach.
What we are looking for
As our team continues to grow and expand, we are looking for a variety of different IoT software engineers:
● Embedded software engineers with experience working on IoT stacks, particularly LoRa
● Embedded Software Engineer - Space Payloads (embedded Linux / bare-metal)
● Backend Engineer with experience working on cloud infrastructure, particularly Go, Terraform, and Docker
Compensation & Benefits
● Flexible hybrid working policy (Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire, UK - 1-2 days a week).
● Company salary sacrifice pension scheme.
● Company salary sacrifice electric company car
Note: Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK to be considered for this role
