About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Infrastructure team, you will be an early contributor to the growing team to support a rapidly expanding fleet of satellites. Speed and reliability aren’t luxuries here; they’re lifelines. When a satellite is orbiting thousands of miles above Earth, minutes matter. Our developers need to iterate and deploy rapidly to fix mission-critical issues and push improvements that keep spacecraft healthy and missions on track. You’ll be the one making sure our CI pipelines aren’t just efficient, but blazing fast, so our engineers can respond to the unexpected in real time. You’ll own every aspect of the development workflow including AI assistant tools, language upgrades, build systems, pre-commit checks, and emerging projects to help unlock developer velocity. If you’re excited by the idea of supporting spacecraft with infrastructure that’s as mission-critical as the satellites themselves, this is your launchpad. This role supports both commercial and U.S. Government programs.
