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., Required: * Security Clearance: Must possess an active TS/SCI security clearance * Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience) * Professional Development Experience: 3+ years of hands-on professional software engineering experience developing, testing, and deploying software in a professional environment * Programming Proficiency: Solid skills in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to write clean, testable code * Modern Development Practices: Experience with version control (Git), code reviews, and working in Agile/Scrum teams * API & Web Development: Experience building or working with RESTful APIs and web applications, utilizing technologies such as REACT and FastAPI * Collaboration & Communication: Ability to work effectively on a team, communicate technical concepts clearly, and collaborate with cross-functional partners Desired: * Hands-on experience deploying applications to AWS, Azure, or GCP * Experience with Spring Boot, React, or similar modern frameworks in production * Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) * Experience with both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases * Understanding of CI/CD concepts and tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) * Experience working with microservices architectures * Exposure to automated testing frameworks and practices * Previous experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated industries ## Description You'll 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! What makes this role exciting: * 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! Responsibilities: * 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 ## Related Videos - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Branch your database like your code: How schema changes and pull requests go hand in hand](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/350-branch-your-database-like-your-code-how-schema-changes-and-pull-requests-go-hand-in-hand) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers)
