Software Engineer – Space

Location: Remote, United States
Employment: Full-time
Compensation: $120,000–$150,000 base salary – some flexibility for the right candidate 
Travel: Minimal, approximately 0–10%

The Opportunity

Join a small, developer-first aerospace engineering company supporting commercial, government, defense and U.S. Space Force programs.

You will initially support an active government space program, taking ownership of a meaningful portion of its operational software. The work is approximately 70% backend and 30% frontend, with opportunities to contribute across additional customer programs and internal products over time.

This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys working across architecture, development, integration, deployment and production support.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain operational software for space and defense programs.

  • Develop backend services and APIs using Python, C#, Java or similar languages.

  • Create REST APIs, data-processing workflows and customer-facing web applications.

  • Work with spacecraft, ground-system, telemetry, mission-simulation or related aerospace data.

  • Deploy and maintain containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Support secure CI/CD pipelines, automated testing and production monitoring.

  • Troubleshoot software across development, test and deployed customer environments.

  • Collaborate with aerospace engineers, program leaders, customers and prime contractors.

  • Help translate customer requirements into scalable technical solutions.

  • Take increasing ownership and become a technical subject-matter expert for assigned programs.

  • Contribute to internal products and additional customer projects as priorities evolve.

Required Experience

  • Five or more years of professional software engineering experience.

  • Professional experience building production applications—not only scripts or test automation.

  • Strong backend development experience, ideally using Python.

  • Experience designing and integrating REST APIs.

  • Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Experience owning software through design, development, testing and deployment.

  • Background supporting aerospace, spacecraft, ground systems, mission operations, modeling and simulation, or another closely related technical environment.

  • Experience working independently within a small, collaborative engineering team.

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering or a related technical discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.

  • U.S. citizenship.

  • Eligibility and willingness to obtain a security clearance up to TS/SCI.

Nice to Have

  • Professional C#, Java, C++ or Rust experience.

  • Spacecraft telemetry, commanding or TT&C experience.

  • Ground-segment or mission-control software development.

  • Experience supporting active missions or operational users.

  • STK, ODTK, orbital analysis or mission-planning experience.

  • Kafka or other distributed/event-driven technologies.

  • AWS or other cloud infrastructure experience.

  • Terraform, Ansible or infrastructure-as-code experience.

  • Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps or similar CI/CD platforms.

  • React, Angular, TypeScript or JavaScript experience.

  • Secure software development, container hardening or DevSecOps experience.

  • Experience deploying software to government, classified or air-gapped environments.

  • Active security clearance.

Why Join

  • Work directly on meaningful government and Space Force programs.

  • Own substantial portions of the software instead of one narrow component.

  • Join a small team where engineers have visibility and direct influence.

  • Remain hands-on across the complete software lifecycle.

  • Work remotely from anywhere in the United States.

  • Gain exposure to multiple missions, customers and technical challenges.

  • Collaborate closely with experienced aerospace and software leaders.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental and vision insurance.

  • Employer-supported health savings account.

  • 401(k) with company match.

  • 15 days of paid time off.

  • 10 company holidays plus two floating holidays.

  • Monthly internet and phone reimbursement.

  • Life insurance and employee assistance benefits.
