Wanna join the adventure?

Loft Orbital is making space simple by building and operating the infrastructure that enables our customers’ missions. We’re looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join our Infrastructure team and help deliver complex work efficiently and predictably.

In this role, you’ll partner with our Cloud, Test, and Space Infrastructure teams to build joint roadmaps, manage cross-team dependencies, and drive projects through completion. You’ll connect Infrastructure with teams across Loft, ensuring requests are understood, commitments are clear, and progress and risks are communicated.

You’ll have significant autonomy in how you organize and drive delivery, working closely with engineering leaders and TPMs to introduce practical processes that help a growing, globally distributed organization scale its satellite operations.

Partner with Infrastructure engineering leaders to develop quarterly plans and roadmaps that account for program needs, team capacity, and cross-team dependencies.

Coordinate requests and commitments between Infrastructure and teams across Operations, Solutions, Product Engineering, and other functions. Partner with the Product and Program teams to coordinate work and status.

Drive cross-functional projects from planning through completion, establishing milestones, clarifying ownership, and resolving or escalating blockers.

Communicate progress, risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs to engineering leaders and program stakeholders.

Establish and improve practical planning and delivery workflows, including Jira processes, documentation, and team coordination.

Coordinate global on-call scheduling and follow-through on operational processes in partnership with engineering and operations leads.

5+ years of technical program or project management experience supporting software engineering teams, including infrastructure, platform, or service operations.

Experience coordinating delivery across multiple engineering teams and managing competing priorities and dependencies.

Ability to follow technical discussions, ask clarifying questions, and translate engineering constraints into actionable plans.

Demonstrated ability to introduce and adapt processes in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

Proficiency with Jira and Confluence, including managing workflows and maintaining clear project documentation.

Experience facilitating Agile development practices, such as Scrum or Kanban, and adapting them to team needs.

Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to influence, negotiate commitments, and drive follow-through without formal authority.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including communicating risks and tradeoffs to executive audiences.

Ability to travel at least once per quarter for cross-office collaboration.

Experience in a startup or rapidly scaling technical organization.

Background in space or organizations building integrated hardware and software systems.

Experience coordinating internationally distributed teams across time zones.

Experience working closely with product management.

Experience adapting planning and delivery practices across different teams, company sizes, or operating environments.

Who We Are

Loft: Space Made Simple.
