✨ About The Role

Full Stack Software Engineer

El Segundo, California
Engineering – Application Software /
Full-time
/ On-site
ABL Space Systems was founded in 2017 by veterans of SpaceX and Morgan Stanley to develop low-cost launch vehicles for the small satellite industry. More importantly, we’re building a launch system we are truly proud of – no gimmicks or over-design, just reliable, rapidly deployable launches. We’re an ambitious team with big goals and, together, we’re determined to prove that reaching space can be simple, efficient, and routine.

When launch day arrives, we want you by our side

Enterprise software at ABL is a bit different than at large corporations. Our engineers don't write programs to process payroll; they build tools that control mission critical operations and data flows.

ABL's Full Stack Software Engineers build applications and tools that synthesize diverse streams of inputs — orbital parameters, flight sensor data, manufacturing workflows, supply chain lead times, and financial projections, to name a few. This software forms a rock-solid technological foundation for world-class launch vehicle engineering and production. In this role, the engineer will facilitate the full end-to-end spectrum of tasks involved in building and launching rockets.

Responsibilities

    • Build effective, user-friendly web applications that power core ABL business functions, such as robust and streamlined manufacturing processes, launch procedures, supply chain management, mission design and trajectory analysis, and other vital operations
    • Remain grounded by digging in with hardware, production, test and launch engineers to gain an understanding of launch vehicle processes
    • Own projects from initial concept through development, release, maintenance, and continual improvement
    • Quickly explore and prototype solutions in a variety of domains, while also investing in a high-quality, maintainable base architecture and core feature-set
    • Identify and clearly communicate risks that may affect the successful delivery of features
    • Work closely with colleagues across the company to ensure that the software is meaningfully serving ABL's long-term goals

Basic Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in computer science, math, physics, engineering, or similar
    • 3+ years of professional experience building software for the web

Preferred Skills and Experience

    • Experience across the web stack — interactive client-side applications, backend servers, and databases
    • Experience developing reliable, maintainable, and performant web applications
    • Expertise in React.js or other modern JavaScript frameworks
    • Expertise in Python frameworks like Flask, Django, or similar backend frameworks
    • Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL
    • Experience with cloud-based infrastructure, Linux environments, and DevOps technologies and practices
    • Demonstrated success building and launching substantial software projects
    • Hardware experience or willingness to have some hardware involvement. It is important for the Full Stack Software Engineer to remain grounded to the systems their applications are serving
    • Able to quickly evaluate, learn, and apply new technologies as appropriate
    • Strong focus on the end-user and the actual business problems

What We Look For:

    • 1. Critical thinking: ABL engineers understand the "why" behind all design decisions, operational events and test outcomes.
    • 2. Ability to deal with ambiguity: there is no roadmap and ABL engineers must be comfortable defining their own pathway to an objective.
    • 3. End-to-end ownership: projects are delivered fully complete and ready for flight; there is no one to pick up the slack of partially complete work.
$90,000 - $175,000 a year
