Job Description & How to Apply Below

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer who thrives working independently and is passionate about building software that pushes the bounds ofwhat'spossible. Our software is a modern web-based application (React/Type Script, C# .NET) with a microservice infrastructure (Docker, Kafka, REST) that operators use to monitor and control constellations of spacecraft across several active missions.

In this role, you will be embedded at or near a Mission Operation Center (MOC) local to you, serving as the primary technical point of contact for that facility.
