Descripción de la vacante

Blue Origin LLC is seeking a senior software engineer to lead full‑stack development within Enterprise Technology, delivering scalable distributed systems on AWS and driving AI‑first tooling. You will mentor engineers, collaborate with product managers, and influence roadmap decisions as part of a team that values safety, collaboration, and innovation.

The role emphasizes operational excellence, on‑call readiness, and cross‑functional impact across projects and teams in a dynamic spaceflight

Formación

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent work experience.
10+ years of experience as a software engineer developing enterprise‑grade distributed applications, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role owning multiple systems and collaborating across teams.
Advanced knowledge of agile development practices for the full SDLC including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, security, testing, continuous integration/deployment, and system operation.
Deep technical understanding of modern microservice-based architectures and containerized or serverless environments, with the ability to debug complex system failures across distributed services.
Experience developing and operating services in AWS with infrastructure‑as‑code.
Demonstrated ability to advance AI‑first engineering practices — integrating AI‑powered tools into development workflows, evaluating and adopting new AI technologies, and coaching teams on effective AI‑assisted development.
Advanced technical judgment in selecting methods, techniques, and architectural trade‑offs for complex problems with ambiguous requirements.
Proven ability to lead through informal authority — mentoring engineers, driving technical direction, and being accountable for delivery outcomes.
Excellent written and verbal communication with both technical and non‑technical audiences.
A passion for innovation, learning and sharing knowledge.

Responsabilidades

Act as a technical lead for a full-stack software development team (Scrum), owning the design, delivery, and planning of improvements across multiple systems with no day-to-day oversight.
Advance the technical implementation of projects, resolving competing priorities, providing early level-of-effort estimates, and actively balancing technical debt against feature delivery.
Champion and drive an AI-first development methodology, leveraging AI technologies and tools (e.g., LLMs, agentic workflows, code generation tools like Claude Code) to enhance team productivity, software capabilities, and engineering innovation.
Steward operational excellence across the team's systems — lead anomaly investigations, root cause analyses, and recovery plans; participate in on‑call escalation and incident response.
Lead, mentor, and train team members on engineering techniques, code quality standards, and system operation; cultivate code review culture as a mechanism for both quality and growth.
Proactively engage customers and product managers to identify pain points, validate solutions, and inform roadmap decisions.
Advance process improvements and lead tooling development across the team's projects to build excellence in development and system operation.
Represent the team as a prime contact on projects requiring coordination between organizations; develop relationships within and outside the team.
Participate in on‑call production support rotation (regular business hours).
