Software Engineer - Fullstack - Rebel Space Technologies

Rebel Space is seeking a talented and experienced Full-stack Software Engineer to join our growing technical team. 

About Rebel Space: 

At Rebel Space, our mission is to protect critical space infrastructure through enhanced observability and space system cybersecurity.  We believe that as space infrastructure expands, it will be increasingly difficult to secure and monitor these systems against critical failures or evolving cyber threats.  To address this, we are building software that empowers developers and operators to rigorously evaluate and secure their systems from conception through to operations.  We supercharge the way space infrastructure is tested, monitored, and secured, ensuring systems are safeguarded in an increasingly complex space environment.  Join us in building the space security infrastructure of the future. 

Our view is that the convergence of artificial intelligence, software, robotics, and communications will significantly improve how we connect with physical hardware and digital systems.  By focusing on the integration of autonomy with space system cybersecurity, we hope to make physical and digital infrastructure more resilient in the face of a rapidly changing world. 

We value experimentation and seek to actively create a positive change through technological innovation.  We work in a collaborative environment where new ideas can be shared and explored respectfully and promote a workplace that enhances, not overwhelms, the lives of our team members.  We are based out of Long Beach, California and operate on a hybrid schedule.
