Full Stack Software Engineer; Full Stack Developer

Full Stack Software Engineer

Redwire is an innovative space and defense technology company driving advanced capabilities across the aerospace sector. We are looking for a leader who can contribute to concept of operations development, mission solution design, and strategic analysis for spacecraft programs supporting National Security Space. This includes work spanning space domain awareness, space resiliency, mission autonomy, structures, sensors, and next generation space systems.

Full Stack Software Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining end‑to‑end software capabilities that power the company's simulation, digital engineering, and mission system platforms. This role blends modern frontend engineering, high‑performance backend development, and systems‑level thinking to ensure that user interfaces, APIs, data pipelines, and realtime services are coherent, scalable, secure, and aligned with mission and product objectives. You will develop advanced React interfaces, implement high‑throughput backend services in Python/C++/Rust, integrate with distributed systems and simulation workflows, and collaborate closely with systems engineers, mission analysts, UI/UX designers, and Dev Ops teams to deliver reliable, data‑rich, and performance‑critical applications across aerospace and defense environments.

• Design and build fullstack software capabilities supporting simulation, digital engineering, and mission system workflows.
• Develop advanced frontend interfaces using Type Script/JavaScript, React, and scalable UI architectures.
• Implement high‑performance backend services in Python, C++, or Rust for APIs, microservices, and realtime pipelines.
• Integrate with distributed systems including simulation engines, data pipelines, and mission analysis tools.
• Design and maintain APIs including REST, GraphQL, and gRPC interfaces with strong schema governance.
• Build realtime processing pipelines supporting deterministic, concurrent, or multithreaded execution.
• Develop complex visualization tools for physics‑based simulations and realtime system behavior.
• Ensure reliability and observability through logging, metrics, tracing, error handling, and automated testing.
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines including systems, mission analysis, UI/UX, and Dev Ops.
• Contribute to CI/CD and engineering rigor through testing, code reviews, and Git‑driven workflows.

• STEM foundation – Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related STEM field.
• Fullstack engineering experience – 1‑5 years building production systems across frontend and backend domains.
• Systems‑level understanding – Concurrency, distributed systems, data modeling, caching, and performance optimization.
• Modern frontend expertise – Type Script/JavaScript, React, and contemporary UI engineering practices.
• Core web fundamentals – HTML, CSS, browser internals, rendering pipelines, and performance constraints.
• Advanced React patterns – Hooks, context architectures, compound components, scalable state management.
• Design systems & component architecture – Component libraries, design systems, CSS‑in‑JS, modular CSS, utility‑first approaches.
• Complex visualization work – Physics‑based simulations, engineering workflows, realtime system behavior.
• Backend integration fluency – REST, GraphQL, gRPC, Web Sockets.

We offer a highly competitive benefits package along with a commitment to our core values of Integrity, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, and Excellence.
