Job Description
Loft's AI for Space group is building the stack that runs real machine learning in orbit; turning raw sensor data into decisions on the satellite itself, so insight reaches the customer in minutes instead of hours.
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional experience, including hands-on product management.
- Domain experience in at least one of: earth observation, embedded systems, aerospace systems, security & defense.
- Comfort at both ends of the spectrum — understand the market, and the technology
- Structured and data-driven: you bring your experience and your intuitions, but when you put a recommendation on the table you can show the analysis it stands on.
- Real product obsession: you think about the bigger picture and product-market fit before you think about features.
- Relentless curiosity. In a single month you might move from a satellite bus constraint, to onboard AI inference, to a defense accreditation requirement — and you need to find that stimulating rather than exhausting.
- High autonomy and a bias for action: handed a broad perimeter, you organize it yourself and come back with a plan.
- At ease being challenged, and challenging others, in a fast-moving and demanding environment.
- Working knowledge of both hardware and software development lifecycles.
- Proficient using and configuring Atlassian tools (Jira and Confluence).
- Fluency in English, written and spoken.
- Willingness to travel to other Loft offices and to customers.
- Fluency in French.
- Experience with AI/ML products, edge computing, or developer and partner platforms and ecosystems.
- Experience with satellite operations, constellation services, or ground segment products.
- Exposure to institutional and defense customers and their procurement cycles.
- Experience in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial NewSpace company or venture-backed deep-tech startup.
- Professional experience working with international teams across time zones.

- Up to 35 days of Paid Time Off (vacations & RTT ) and flexible working hours, we want you to be at your best
- Health and life insurance, we care about your health

- Cross-office travel opportunities between San Francisco, Colorado, and Toulouse to learn from our differences
- Company and team off-sites and many other events to work & celebrate together
