The Mission
We are looking for talented Senior Software Engineers with demonstrated real-world experience to help us conceptualize, implement and operationalize mission-critical software components at the heart of our satellite constellation. As a key member of our team, you'll play an essential role in the ongoing operation and enhancement of our space-based sensor network - directly contributing to refine our ability to monitor and respond to wildfires, helping to safeguard communities, preserve wildlife, and protect ecosystems worldwide.
What you’ll be doing
We're looking for someone who’s proactive, with a strong ability to understand the bigger picture while also diving deep into technical details & implementations.
- Modeling & Architecture: Proficient in complex systems architecture and skilled in breaking down given problems into manageable parts. Demonstrate discernment in making engineering trade-offs and systematically resolving requirements.
- Development & Operations: Develop production-quality code in Python, deploying to Linux-based infrastructure. You'll have hands-on involvement with databases, APIs, and networking.
- Code Management & CI: Establish and participate in code reviews, and adhere to established Git workflows to ensure high-quality software development. Establish and maintain automated end-to-end testing frameworks for your software components, and be responsible for CI pipelines ensuring software robustness and reliability.
- Tech Stack Proficiency: While Python remains an essential part of our stack, proficiency in other high-level, type-safe languages is valued. Familiarity with shell and general software engineering principles is a must.
