Key responsibilities include owning deployed software solutions, developing Space C2 and Mission Management capabilities for end-to-end mission systems, integrating with legacy defense systems to unlock modern capabilities, and writing code to scale mission capabilities across users and customers. You will collaborate across multiple teams to plan, build, and test complex functionality, create and analyze metrics for debugging and monitoring, triage issues and coordinate root cause analysis, and partner with end-users to translate mission needs into engineered features while balancing user experience with technical constraints.

Preferred qualifications include expertise in Go, Rust, or C++, experience with deployment tooling (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm), exposure to space ground hardware (sensors, radars, telescopes), experience with space-related simulation and hardware integration, and familiarity with space software standards and modular software services development. This role offers the opportunity to work on critical software with real-world impact in the contested space warfighting domain.
