Software Engineer (Ground Software)

The Terrestrial Software team is building the foundation for an automated rocket factory and integrated launch platform Their mission is to automate and streamline workflows across the entire lifecycle of Terran R, from raw material intake to launch operations and eventually manufacturing on Mars Today, that means partnering directly with teams across design, materials, manufacturing, and test and launch to design, implement, and deploy end-user enterprise-wide applications, industrial automation, data analytics infrastructure, and next-generation AI to solve real problems and accelerate progress Long term, the team is laying the groundwork for a modular, scalable software platform that can power highly autonomous operations on Earth and beyond This is a team for builders and thinkers who thrive on cross-functional impact and want to shape the digital backbone of our future in space Contribute to the frontend platform for our operator UI — including the application shell, design system, and shared data layer that teams use to build features Implement frontend modules following the established architecture and contribution patterns that integrate into the unified application Support the consolidation effort by migrating features and components from separate front ends into the unified operator platform Work with real-time hardware telemetry, implementing UI components that render live data efficiently while meeting performance requirements Learn from senior engineers, participate in code reviews, and apply best practices to improve code quality and your own frontend skills BenefitsHealth, dental, and vision coverage Additional stipend for employee wellness 401(k) Equity 11 company holidays & generous PTO Monthly lunches, game nights, holiday celebrations, and offsite events Generous parental leave and provide a $10,000 stipend for fertility, adoption, and other family-building benefits $2,000 annual learning stipend Constant training opportunities, company Lunch and Learns, and access to industry conferences Ability to collaborate effectively with senior engineers, receive technical mentorship, and contribute to architectural discussionsFoundational frontend performance skills: ability to use profiling tools, identify performance bottlenecks, and implement basic optimizationsExperience (typically 2+ years) building production web applications, with deep TypeScript and React expertiseExperience working with state management patterns and real-time data updates in React applications (e.g., Redux, Context API, WebSocket integrations) Experience contributing to shared frontend codebases, component libraries, or design systems used by multiple teamsReal-time data visualization / charting, or industrial control, SCADA, or hardware-in-the-loop experienceFamiliarity with binary streaming protocols (WebSockets/protobuf) and offloading work to Web WorkersExperience with a monorepo build system (Bazel) or embedding code editors (Monaco)
