  • Debug issues across the stack, from application-level behavior down to system interfaces

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or a Science discipline
  • 0-3 years of professional software development experience, including internships and research experience

  • 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan
  • Self-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time
  • Flexible work environment
  • Company-funded perks, including weekly team lunches and Astro Mechanica swag

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
