Full Job Description


What You'll Do
  • Own major parts of our Python stack - from design to deployment.
  • Build process automation and control software that enables our solid rocket motor propellant production facilities.
  • Collaborate with controls engineers, roboticists, and product designers to ship features that matter.
  • Write clean, tested code (and push the team to do the same).
  • Help shape the team's technical direction as we scale in both headcount and scope.
  • Mentor teammates and share knowledge - we win together.


What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of professional Python experience - you know the language inside out.
  • Strong track record of building and maintaining production software.
  • Comfort with APIs, Linux dev environments, and modern dev practices (git, CI/CD, testing).
  • Someone who thrives in startup environments: proactive, adaptable, and excited to figure things out.


Bonus Points For
  • Experience with industrial controls (PLCs, SCADA, OPC UA).
  • Hands-on work with robotics tools like ROS/ROS2 or MoveIT.
  • A background in automation, manufacturing, or robotics.
  • Experience with Python GUI frameworks like NiceGUI or Reflex


Why You'll Love It Here
  • You'll work on real robots and real-world automation challenges - not just abstract software.
  • Huge opportunity to influence the tech stack and company direction.
  • A tight-knit, collaborative team that values creativity and impact over bureaucracy.
  • Competitive pay, meaningful equity, and the flexibility to do your best work.
