In this role, you will help design, build, and deliver bespoke software solutions for national security stakeholders. This is not a siloed front-end or back-end role, you will work across the stack on non-recurring engineering (NRE) projects, taking experimental concepts to operational deployment, and rapidly prototyping features based on specific USG mission needs. As an early engineering hire at HEO USA, you will play a hands-on role in scaling our domestic engineering capabilities. While working as an individual contributor, you will collaborate closely with our established Australia-based software team to transition core technologies into mission-ready software for the US market., + Pipeline Automation: Drive the "Prototype to Ops" pipeline that operationalizes custom mission capabilities into robust software. Write, test, and implement Python-based software to automate the collection of NEI and critical SDA data for our Space Imagery Analyst (SIA) team. + MVP & Prototype Development: Rapidly build end-to-end minimum viable products (MVPs), APIs, and experimental features to test directly with USG customers for fast feedback loops. + Productionizing Core Capabilities: Work closely with cross-functional teams to transform mission modeling, orbital mechanics, and image processing concepts into high-performance, production-grade cloud software. + Platform & UI Enhancement: Support the expansion of HEO's proprietary platform, HEO Inspect for national security stakeholders. Develop features, responsive tools, and data visualizations that enhance interactivity and user experience. + Technical Program Support: Serve as a key technical interface for USG projects, helping to translate complex aerospace system capabilities into software requirements and functional solutions. ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard)
