This is an exceptional opportunity for a software engineer passionate about space technology and interested in building large-scale distributed systems. The position requires U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or refugee/asylee status due to export control regulations. The compensation is competitive, ranging from $129,300 to $223,600 per year, depending on location and experience, plus additional benefits and potential equity compensation.
