Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. We are seeking a highly motivated Software Engineer to join our mission-driven team developing Nyx. In this role, you will take full ownership of key components of the mission tooling software stack. You will be designing, implementing, and testing mission-support systems that enable safe, autonomous, and reliable spaceflight operations, such as tools related to deployment, configuration data management, autocoding, and simulation. You will work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where cross-functional integration is essential. Your products will be used by flight software engineers, GNC engineers, system and mission operations engineers, and ground software teams. Expect to write robust and well-tested Python code, interface directly with users across the technical departments, and take ownership for tools you develop. *Applications at all seniority levels are considered. Key Responsibilities Design, implement, and own core software tools for mission-related automation, testing, simulation, deployment, and configuration data management. Listen to user needs across engineering and software departments. Develop in modern Python, following best practices in software architecture, testing, and performance optimization. Interface with C++ flight software, ground software, system engineering tools, and maintain related CI/CD configurations. Build and maintain test orchestration and simulation management tools to validate software behavior across mission phases. Collaborate closely with GNC, avionics, system engineering, and mission operations teams to ensure efficient and user-driven tool design. Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and flight readiness assessments. What we would love to see from you Strong proficiency in Python 3.x and at least one system programming language. Solid understanding of RESTful API design and development. Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex technical problems and drive them to resolution. Familiarity with software testing methodologies and simulation tools. Excellent cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration skills. Focus on detail, quality, and testing. Experience with CI/CD systems and build systems. Familiarity with containerization tools and orchestration systems. Nice to have Experience with Bazel. Good understanding of math & physics. Experience with asynchronous programming. Familiarity with infrastructure as code. Why you should join us! What makes us special here at The Exploration Company and why we think you will enjoy working here is: We’re Agile - we make decisions fast whilst keeping our goals and systems in mind We’re Open and Collaborative - we are transparent about risks and obstacles, so that we can cooperate to overcome them We have a lot of Fun - we refuel our energy knowing we are democratising space.
