TL;DR · Senior Mission Software Engineer

The Imaging team is seeking a Senior Mission Software Engineer to join the Imaging Interfaces team, responsible for maintaining and troubleshooting fielded imaging systems. This role involves triaging issues across hardware, firmware, and software stacks, developing modular production services in austere environments, and supporting customer integrations both remotely and on-site. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience with Python and C++, strong Linux-based development skills, and the ability to communicate technical solutions clearly to non-technical users. Familiarity with gRPC, systems service management, and NixOS is preferred. This position requires a secret clearance and approximately 15% travel for field testing and customer support in a high-stakes environment where system reliability is paramount.

What you'll do

  • Own the health and uptime of deployed imaging systems, diagnosing issues across all components.
  • Develop and maintain modular software services for edge-compute devices in challenging environments.
  • Diagnose and resolve fielded hardware issues with direct operator support over phone or on-site.
  • Serve as a technical expert during integrations with external teams and customers, both remotely and on-site.
  • Maintain comprehensive understanding of the full system stack to optimize service interactions and graceful degradation.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of software development experience with significant production responsibility.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and C++ for developing reliable, observable services.
  • Extensive Linux-based environment experience, including bare-metal hardware work.
  • Ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues across system boundaries without full visibility.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical explanations to non-technical audiences.
  • Willingness to travel approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations.
