About the role

Muon is looking for a Senior Ground Software Engineer to join our Ground and Data Software team. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated and versatile software engineer who is excited to build our cloud infrastructure, web services and applications like mission control software, data pipelines, and tools to gain insight into Earth’s complex systems. Our team broadly owns all the software that enables us to communicate with the satellite and process payload data into end-products. We are fully responsible for the software we build through its full lifecycle; from implementing deployable applications, managing the infrastructure they run on, and supporting them running in production.

This role will be located at our headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Responsibilities

  • Participate in designing our cloud architecture: choosing which technologies we will use, how we will organize the system, and when we should build systems in-house vs buy them off the shelf, to maximize the impact of our team

  • Manage the cloud infrastructure we will use to deploy our cloud applications, using tools like Kubernetes, Helm, and AWS Lambda

  • Build a world class Mission Control in the cloud, using tools like Docker and FastAPI.

  • Build the spacecraft-to-cloud data integration: processing and archiving the command history and telemetry, using tools like Kafka, InfluxDB, and Grafana

  • Build the APIs and tooling to integrate our cloud with remote antenna ground station networks

  • Collaborate with Data Engineers to define, manage, and maintain our data processing environments: development sandbox and production workflow, using tools like AWS Lambda, Jupyter Hub, and Apache Airflow

  • Integrate physical test hardware in our lab with our cloud systems

  • Architect systems to achieve low latency and fault tolerance

  • Deploy infrastructure and tools to workstations, on-premises data centers, and cloud environments

Qualifications

  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in computer science or related field, or equivalent experience

  • 5+ years experience as a software engineer in a team environment

  • Strong programming experience in Python, with knowledge of industry-standard data formats and schemas (ProtoBuf, YAML, JSON, etc)

  • Experience with cloud-native software development in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) using containers

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills

  • Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with new opportunities each week

Nice-to-have Skills

  • Experience with the Azure cloud ecosystem

  • Experience with IP networking

  • Experience managing CI/CD in cloud-based development, staging, and production environments

  • Have a passion for simple architectures and clean APIs

  • Strong Linux fundamentals and comfortable with Linux development and deployment environment

  • IT and Information security (authentication, encryption)

  • Web interactive UI design (for data access and visualization)

  • Experience smoothly deploying continuously evolving data services to customers

Salary

The salary range for this role is 95K-190K and will depend on a candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience as defined during the interview process.
