## About the role

As a Senior Product Systems Engineer at Loft, you will own the architecture of our overall offering — the layer that sits above any single implementation team and brings coherence across ground, space, software, and hardware. You will define how Loft's platform is structured, how capabilities are allocated across segments, and how customers, third-party software, and Loft's own stack interact.

## What they're looking for

- Strong systems engineering background in complex technical products spanning software and hardware
- Experience working at the boundary between architecture definition, requirements structuring, and engineering implementation
- Ability to structure complex systems into clear capabilities, interfaces, requirements, and responsibilities
- Strong understanding of software-heavy systems, including distributed components, APIs, processing chains, and integration patterns
- Ability to coordinate cross-functional technical work across several teams without relying on direct authority
- Strong communication and documentation skills, including the ability to turn technical ambiguity into a clear framework for decisions and execution
