The Team  

Software is at the forefront of how we operate at Astra. As a vertically integrated rocket company, every decision we make is data-driven: from CAD designs to the launch of a rocket, we look for patterns and relationships at each stage of our design, manufacturing, test, and operations. This unprecedented level of integration requires equally vertically integrated software that gives insight into topics that matter, guiding our decisions. 

The software team has always operated as a small, versatile team that punches above its weight. As we grow we want to maintain those cross-functional technical skillsets and embrace diversity in backgrounds because sometimes writing the best rocket company software in the world is like programming a synthesizer, and other times it is like sanding the rust off of an old cabinet.

The Opportunity 

Did writing software to launch rockets not already convince you to sign up?

As a Sr. Staff Software Engineer on the software team, you will be writing software to automate every aspect of testing and launching many rockets, you will will build the tools to collect and analyze high-speed, high-precision data, and you will invent the technologies that power the next generation of the space industry. We mean that.
