Relativity Space is building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. The Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. The Terrestrial Software team is building the foundation for an automated rocket factory and integrated launch platform to automate and streamline workflows across the entire lifecycle of Terran R, from raw material intake to launch operations and eventually manufacturing on Mars.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience building high-throughput, low-latency data pipelines or streaming services in Go (or similar languages)
- comfortable designing and operating services that ingest telemetry from many producers, apply backpressure when needed, and fan out data to multiple consumers in real time
- experience building or integrating with real-time data delivery mechanisms (e.g., WebSockets or streaming APIs) to support rich, live UIs and downstream services
- worked on alerting or monitoring systems where low-latency detection and reliable delivery of alerts is critical
- Experience with durable queuing or spool-to-disk patterns to protect against network interruptions or downstream outages
- Familiarity with time-series databases, metrics backends, or large-scale telemetry storage systems
- Experience designing schemas and protocols for telemetry at scale, including versioning and compatibility considerations
Responsibilities
- Own features end-to-end across the software development lifecycle: from problem framing and architecture through implementation, test, deployment, and operation
- Build and maintain the platform services (real-time data pipelines, orchestration, UI, alerting), automation tooling and languages, and device-level software used by teams across the company to control and monitor real hardware
- Partner directly with hardware, test, manufacturing, and launch teams to design, instrument, and continuously improve automation and control systems that are safe, observable, and resilient in production environments
- design, implement, and deploy end user enterprise-wide applications, industrial automation, data analytics infrastructure, and next-generation AI to solve real problems and accelerate progress
- laying the groundwork for a modular, scalable software platform that can power highly autonomous operations on Earth and beyond
- design, build, and operate the software that connects our automated factory, test facilities, and launch systems
- responsible for the full stack—from the central platform down to the device-level software running on controllers and equipment
