Job description

the company was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today the company is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

FULL STACK SOFTWARE ENGINEER (STARSHIELD)

Starshield leverages the company’s Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use, with an initial focus on earth observation, communications, and hosted payloads.

The Starshield software team is building highly reliable in-space mesh networks, designing secure systems to guarantee access to space, designing next‑gen communication and sensing software, and more. Aerospace experience is not required to be successful here-- we want our engineers to bring fresh ideas from all areas. We look for engineers who love solving problems and seek to make an impact on an inspiring mission. As we expand this team, we're looking for versatile, motivated, and collaborative engineers.

Our team is involved in designing the vehicle systems at every phase of development. We build tools that enable us to work more efficiently, and that help us build software systems that are secure, reliable, and autonomous. Our software engineers are responsible for the life cycle of the software they create, including development, testing, and operational support.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Create highly reliable software systems that task remote sensor payloads on hundreds of satellites in low earth orbit and process the collected information
• Apply creativity to build an immersive earth observation experience for users whether they are in offices or in the field
• See your software through from start to finish: from figuring out the core needs to prototyping, developing, and testing; to production rollout and beyond

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science, physics, mathematics, or a STEM discipline; OR 2+ years of professional experience in full stack software engineering in lieu of a degree
• Development experience in C# and Typescript, or full stack software development experience

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Developing software that has been used real‑world applications and projects
