- Solid backend development skills using Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask) or Node.js.
- Experience designing SQL or NoSQL schemas and writing performant, maintainable queries.
- Familiarity with cloud-hosted deployments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Ability to translate complex real-world workflows into clean APIs and elegant user experiences.
- Experience with data platforms like Palantir Foundry, Snowflake, Databricks, or Looker.
- Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK) and event-driven architectures.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain fullstack web applications that streamline spacecraft design, manufacturing, and testing processes.
- Develop RESTful APIs and backend services to support internal workflows and external integrations.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, and operations teams to understand needs and build solutions.
- Own the architecture, performance, and security of the systems you develop.
- Help shape our internal software ecosystem to be modular, scalable, and developer-friendly.
- Contribute to defining software best practices, architecture decisions, and deployment standards.
Other
- U.S. Persons status is required as this position requires access to export-controlled data.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3+ years of experience building production web applications end-to-end.
- Comfortable working closely with non-technical stakeholders; strong written and verbal communication.
