About the company

We’re a fast-moving team that builds software that controls and automates the production of solid rocket motor propellant. Our mission is to make complex industrial systems that do this more flexible, reliable, and intuitive - and we need sharp engineers who love solving real-world problems with clean, maintainable code.

What You’ll Do

  • Own major parts of our Python stack - from design to deployment.
  • Build process automation and control software that enables our solid rocket motor propellant production facilities.
  • Collaborate with controls engineers, roboticists, and product designers to ship features that matter.
  • Write clean, tested code (and push the team to do the same).
  • Help shape the team’s technical direction as we scale in both headcount and scope.
  • Mentor teammates and share knowledge - we win together.
