Role Description

We’re looking for an ATAK Plugin Developer to join our gov team and own the development of SkyFi’s ATAK plugin, bringing satellite imagery search, ordering, and visualization capabilities directly into the hands of tactical operators. You’ll work at the intersection of Android development, geospatial data engineering, and defense technology, integrating SkyFi’s data into ATAK. This is a high-impact, technically deep role where your code ships directly to end users in operational environments.

• Design, develop, and maintain the SkyFi-ATAK plugin, including archive imagery browsing, satellite tasking, and order management features
• Integrate imagery search, metadata retrieval, tasking, pricing, and order placement
• Build geospatial visualization layers including imagery overlays, AOI drawing tools, and measurement capabilities within ATAK’s MapView
• Implement offline/cached imagery management for disconnected, denied, and intermittent (DDIL) environments
• Work with geospatial data formats including GeoTIFF, COG, NITF, and STAC metadata standards
• Develop operator-focused UX that is distinct from the commercial SkyFi web platform, optimized for tactical field use
• Participate in sprint cycles with operator feedback loops and iterative feature delivery
• Collaborate with government customers and participate in ATAK feature reviews and training delivery

Qualifications

• College graduate with a STEM degree (preferably in Computer Science) with solid computer science fundamentals
• Direct experience developing ATAK plugins using the ATAK SDK
• Strong understanding of the TAK ecosystem including CoT protocol, TAK Server integration, and plugin lifecycle management
• Experience with geospatial data formats and standards: GeoTIFF, KML/KMZ, Shapefiles, WMS/WMTS, and coordinate reference systems (WGS84, MGRS, UTM)
• Experience integrating REST APIs into Android applications, including authentication, pagination, and error handling
• Proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Gradle-based Android build systems
• U.S. citizenship
• Experience with satellite imagery workflows: archive search, tasking, feasibility, and order management is a plus
• Familiarity with cloud-optimized geospatial formats (COG, STAC, NITF, TIFF) is a plus
• Background in GEOINT, NGA standards, or prior military/IC experience with tactical ISR is a plus
• Contributions to the TAK ecosystem or familiarity with TAK Product Center processes is a plus

Benefits

• Be well compensated. Possibility for equity
• Receive free best-in-class benefits, including premium medical, dental, and vision coverage and 20 days paid time off
• Play a critical role in building a market-changing product in the exciting realm of Space
• Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment that rewards initiative, innovation, and getting things done
