Loft Federal is committed to delivering the U.S. national security space community a fast, affordable, and streamlined pathway to orbit. As a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Loft Orbital Solutions, Inc., we specialize in providing mission-ready space infrastructure with unmatched efficiency.

At Loft, we empower our team with autonomy, ownership, and bold problem-solving opportunities while fostering a tight-knit, supportive environment. We believe that diversity, inclusivity, and community are the foundation of an open and innovative culture. We value kind, collaborative, and mission-driven teammates who excel in problem-solving and communication—because great solutions come from great teams.

Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey with us?

We are seeking a Senior Software Security Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and assessment of the security architecture for our flight and ground software systems. This is not a traditional IT compliance role; you are a hands-on software engineer first, with a deep passion for building security into the core of a product. You will be responsible for everything from hands-on coding of security services to integrating automated controls into our CI/CD pipelines and ensuring our architecture meets the stringent requirements for a government Authority to Operate (ATO).

You will spend your time writing code, hardening our infrastructure, participating in threat modeling, and mentoring our talented software engineers in secure development practices. You will be the team's expert on balancing cutting-edge security with the very real constraints of embedded systems and the compliance demands of NIST and CMMC frameworks.
