Grow your software engineering career with meaningful impact as a Software Engineer working in the space domain!

We're looking for capable, motivated developers with 3+ years of experience who are ready to take on more independence and grow their technical skills. As a Software Engineer, you'll work on mission-critical space system software, delivering features with increasing autonomy while continuing to develop your expertise alongside senior engineers.

You will implement well-architected solutions, collaborate across teams to deliver features, and contribute to our engineering culture. You're past the "learning the basics" stage—now it's about deepening your skills, handling more complex problems, and starting to help others grow.

You will be responsible for implementing features end-to-end, writing robust tests, participating in code reviews, and troubleshooting system issues. Solid experience with modern development practices, APIs, and cloud platforms is important.

If you're passionate about technology, ready to grow beyond junior-level work, and excited to make an impact on space mission systems, we would love to hear from you!

• Deliver features independently - take ownership of well-scoped features from implementation through deployment
• Expand your expertise - work with modern technologies (Python, React, AWS/Azure, Kubernetes) with increasing complexity
• Collaborate and learn - work alongside senior and staff engineers who will help you level up your skills
• Space domain impact - build software that directly supports critical space missions

If you're ready to take the next step in your career, build increasingly complex software, and contribute to systems that matter, let's talk!

• Deliver Features with Increasing Independence
  • Implement full-stack features with clear requirements and minimal day-to-day guidance
  • Break down medium-sized tasks into implementable steps
  • Drive your assigned features through code review, testing, and deployment with support from senior team members
  • Start recognizing and raising potential issues or edge cases during implementation
• Write Quality, Production-Ready Code
  • Develop clean, maintainable code following team standards and patterns
  • Write comprehensive unit and integration tests for your code
  • Participate actively in code reviews, both giving and receiving constructive feedback
  • Debug and fix issues in your own code and occasionally in areas of the codebase you're less familiar with
• Support Junior Team Members
  • Answer questions and pair program with junior engineers when they need help
  • Share knowledge you've gained through documentation and informal mentoring
  • Review code from junior developers and provide helpful feedback
  • Help new team members onboard by sharing what you've learned
• Contribute to Modern Development Practices
  • Work with RESTful APIs and scalable microservices under the guidance of senior engineers, moving away from monolithic structures toward event-driven, serverless solution
  • Deploy and troubleshoot applications on cloud platforms (AWS or Azure)
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute meaningfully to sprint planning and retrospectives
  • Use CI/CD pipelines and understand how to troubleshoot common deployment issues
• Collaborate Across the Team
  • Work with product managers and designers to clarify requirements and understand user needs
  • Communicate progress, blockers, and technical challenges to your team
  • Participate in technical discussions, asking good questions and contributing ideas
  • Document your work so others can understand and maintain your code
• Continue Growing Your Skills
  • Learn new technologies and patterns relevant to your team's work
  • Identify opportunities to improve code quality and performance in your area
  • Suggest process improvements based on your experience
  • Stay curious and proactive about expanding your technical knowledge
