Software Engineer, Frontend

Muon Space•San Jose, CA

8h•$156,000 - $186,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Muon seeks a Software Engineer to join our Mission Frontend team. In this role you will build and ship features across our Mission Command platform, the consolidated frontend for mission operations, customer-facing tools, and internal workflows. You'll work in a modern TypeScript monorepo (dash-remix) and contribute to establishing this platform as the canonical interface for managing constellations, scheduling contacts, and monitoring tasking at scale. Day to day, you'll own features end-to-end; from design through deployment and post-launch operational health, collaborating closely with the team on technical design, and shared foundations. You'll also be part of a team that treats AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, and similar) as a core part of the workflow, applying the same rigor to AI-generated output as to human-authored code. This is a high-impact role delivering reliable, high-performance, and accessible experiences that satellite operators and customers depend on every day. This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.

Requirements

BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field OR equivalent industry experience.
Strong problem solving mindset with a focus on the end user while considering long term outcomes.
5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with strongly-typed frontend languages such as TypeScript or Flow.
A passion for semantically correct, stable, clean code.
Demonstrated experience contributing to complex web applications.
Experience working in codebases with automated CI/CD pipelines and static analysis enforcement.
Proficiency in code revision management within larger, fast-moving teams.

Nice To Haves

Experience with AI assisted / agentic coding tools such as Codex or Claude Code.
Experience working with SSR (server-side rendering), RSC (React server components), and isomorphic code.
Experience working with 3d applications.
Experience working with interactive mapping and/or geospatial data visualization.
Experiencing working with large, cross-team monorepos.
Experience with accessibility-focused component libraries such as React Aria or Radix UI.
Experience with frontend observability tooling (e.g., Grafana Faro, OpenTelemetry, Sentry).
Have had exposure to the aerospace/space industry, satellite operations concepts, or mission-critical software environments.
Experience authoring or maintaining CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions), containerized build/deploy pipelines (Docker, Helm), or automated dependency management tooling (e.g., Renovate, Dependabot).

Responsibilities
