The Opportunity:
Grow your software engineering career with meaningful impact as a Software Engineer working in the space domain!
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.
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
