Job description

Voyager is an innovative defense, national security and space technology company committed to advancing and delivering transformative, mission‑critical solutions. We tackle the most complex challenges to unlock new frontiers for human progress, fortify national security, and protect critical assets to lead in the race for technological and operational superiority from ground to space.

Forge the Future: Join Voyager Technologies

The future belongs to those who build it. At Voyager Technologies, we’re building technologies that protect lives, expand frontiers and prepare us for what’s next. We’re looking for people who are wired to solve, build, adapt, and lead.

You’ll help lay the foundation for humanity’s future. Join a culture where innovation thrives, curiosity is rewarded, and impact is real. We’re a company of doers, thinkers, and builders, united by purpose and grounded in reality.

Voyager Technologies is seeking a Software Engineer to join a multidisciplinary team of machine learning engineers, software developers, and algorithm developers. The role focuses on developing software for geospatial analytics, with an emphasis on exploitation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and own software systems for processing, managing, and distributing geospatial data, with an emphasis on SAR imagery.
• Build scalable data pipelines and backend services supporting geospatial data workflows.
• Develop tools and services for geospatial visualization, analysis, and data distribution.
• Design and implement database architectures, schemas, and data models supporting geospatial datasets.
• Contribute to system architecture decisions, including service design, data pipelines, and software infrastructure.
• Integrate geospatial services and APIs into operational software systems.
• Collaborate with algorithm developers and data scientists to translate research capabilities into production software.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, debugging, performance optimization, and software integration.
• Contribute to documentation, configuration management, and software delivery processes.

Qualifications

• Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI security clearance as a condition of continued employment.
• BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field with 5+ years of professional software development experience, OR MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related technical field with 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• Academic background or foundational training in physics, enabling effective bridging of the gap between software engineering and the physical realities of advanced sensing technologies.
• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Experience with modern software development practices including version control, debugging tools, and collaborative development workflows.
• Demonstrated track record of independently ideating, proposing, prototyping, and implementing and fully integrating software solutions that directly improve internal efficiencies, result in new capabilities, and/or otherwise directly impact the bottom line.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Top Secret/SCI clearance.
• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
• Experience developing software for geospatial data processing, remote sensing systems, or large‑scale geospatial datasets.
• Experience designing and implementing database architectures, schemas, and data models, particularly for geospatial or large‑scale datasets (e.g., PostGIS).
• Experience designing scalable software architectures, including distributed systems, service‑based systems, or large data processing pipelines.
• Experience building and maintaining geospatial services and APIs, including standards such as WMS/WFS.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience deploying applications in cloud environments such as AWS.
• Familiarity with geospatial analysis and visualization tools such as QGIS.
• Experience developing workflow orchestration or data processing pipelines using tools such as Apache Airflow.
• Experience developing or integrating agentic AI frameworks to automate geospatial workflows, autonomous analysis, or complex data processing pipelines.
• Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable secure, standardized connections between AI models and internal geospatial databases, APIs, or operational toolsets.

Compensation

The good faith base salary range for this role is $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 at the time of this posting. Where you fall within the range depends on your experience, skills, and location.
