Full description
At Stoke, we believe a thriving space economy will enable a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future here on Earth. That is why we’re building Nova, our fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle. Designed for daily flight, Nova tackles the core challenges of space transportation by reducing cost, increasing availability, and improving reliability. By radically lowering launch costs and increasing flight cadence, we’re helping create a truly scalable space industry.
Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and empowered to take ownership of their work. If you want to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, we’d love to have you join us.
Description
Reusable launch systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. An instrumental ingredient to enabling a rapid launch cadence is the ability to make informed and automated decisions quickly, backed with high quality data. That is our goal for the data team at Stoke, our software empowers our engineers and provides them the ability to automate and improve the efficiency of their day-to-day tasks. As a Software Engineer on the Data Team, you will be responsible for contributing to the design and implementation of Stoke’s data visualization and analysis tooling. Your work will span high-performance web UIs, real-time and batch data services, and scalable systems that monitor the performance and health of supercomputer environments and fielded hardware. You will write production code across the stack, set a high bar for reliability and usability, mentor peers, and help shape a strong technical culture.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain full-stack visualization tools for hardware and software analysis
- Design intuitive front-end interfaces for troubleshooting, analysis and monitoring the health of our launch vehicles
- Partner with cross-functional teams to design features that meet real-world, time-sensitive needs
- Ensure high performance, reliability, and scalability of visualization tools across both front-end and back-end systems
- Continuously improve existing tools and develop new features to meet evolving requirements
- Mentor engineers and contribute to a strong technical culture
- Participate in a low-friction on-call rotation; our platform is stable, but the company depends on what we build
Qualifications
- 3 - 5 years of experience in software development
- Professional experience with Typescript and Rust
- Demonstrated expertise in front-end development, particularly building tools for scientific computing, manufacturing workflows, or infrastructure monitoring/visualization
