Software Engineer

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, Java, Spring Boot, 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

o Implement full-stack features with clear requirements and minimal day-to-day guidance

o Break down medium-sized tasks into implementable steps

o Drive your assigned features through code review, testing, and deployment with support from senior team members

o Start recognizing and raising potential issues or edge cases during implementation

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., Required:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field + 3 years of professional software development experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience)

• Professional Development Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience developing, testing, and deploying software in a professional environment

• Programming Proficiency: Solid skills in at least one modern language (Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#) 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

• Collaboration & Communication: Ability to work effectively on a team, communicate technical concepts clearly, and collaborate with cross-functional partners

• Location: Ability to work in our office at least 3 days per week (up to 5 days a week once you obtain a security clearance)

• Security Clearance: Willing to be submitted for and able to obtain a TS/SCI U.S. Government Security Clearance

Desired:

• Experience with Spring Boot, React, or similar modern frameworks in production

• Hands-on experience deploying applications to AWS, Azure, or GCP

• 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

• Active U.S. Government Security Clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
