Role
Who you are
- 2-5 years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production-quality software systems
- Strong front-end development experience with TypeScript/JavaScript and frameworks like React
- Experience developing backend systems, APIs, or internal tools using technologies such as Python, Node.js, or Go
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, including application design, testing, debugging, code quality, and maintainability
- Familiarity with Linux development environments and basic CI/CD workflows
- An innovative and optimistic approach to an environment with high ambiguity, shifting priorities, and loosely defined problem spaces
- Position may require occasional extended hours and/or weekend work
- To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
Desirable
- Experience building internal tools for engineering teams, such as dashboards, test and data review tools, documentation systems, or workflow automation. Extra points if this was for Aerospace!
- Experience integrating AI-enabled capabilities or interfaces into internal software products
- Familiarity with databases, data modeling, and the tradeoffs between different storage approaches
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or modern deployment workflows
- Prior experience in a small team or startup environment where you were expected to take ownership and execute independently
What the job involves
- As a Full Stack Engineer II at Inversion, you will build the internal software tools that help our engineering teams innovate, make better decisions, and operate more effectively. You will contribute to the development of internal applications across the stack, from intuitive user interfaces to backend services and integrations
- This role is cross-functional and ambiguous by design: you will work closely with technical users, take ownership of scoped problems, and help shape what high-quality internal tools should look like at Inversion. You will be a key member of the Internal Software Tools team, reporting directly to the Director of Software
- Design, build, and maintain internal web applications and tooling that support engineering workflows across the company
- Contribute to the end-to-end lifecycle of internal tools, including problem definition, technical design, implementation, testing, deployment, and long-term maintenance
- Build intuitive user interfaces and workflows for technical users, with a strong focus on usability, clarity, and speed
- Develop backend services, APIs, and integrations that support internal dashboards, documentation systems, data review tools, and AI-enabled workflows
- Partner closely with engineers and other technical stakeholders to identify pain points, gather requirements, and translate loosely defined needs into practical internal products
- Follow and strengthen best practices for internal application development, including testing, code quality, and maintainability
- Contribute to the evolution of the Internal Software Tools team’s products and technical approach
Our take
According to Inversion, in order for humanity to continue to grow within low-earth orbit and beyond, it will be essential that we can return cargo and resources from space. This is why the company is developing low-cost, high-cadence re-entry vehicles to help make space a "transportation layer for Earth".
The company stands out from traditional space companies simply because all its customers reside on the ground. Because Inversion delivers value on Earth itself, it is able to tap into already existing markets - making for a larger impact than many of its peers.
This potential for high impact has not gone unnoticed by investors, and Inversion has raised plentiful funding. It will utilize this to build its autonomous spacecraft which will ultimately make it cost-effective to deliver to the planet’s toughest spots from space. The company is currently in the design phase, with the first flight planned for 2026.
