ABOUT SPHINX

Sphinx builds software to solve complex national security problems in Space.

  • Supporting software deployments into classified environments.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

  • Experience working in Linux environments.
  • Hands-on experience with Python or Go through professional work, internships, coursework, or personal projects.

  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government TS/SCI clearance

YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF 

  • You enjoy building and automating technical solutions.
  • You like digging into complex technical problems and figuring out how things work.
  • You've built projects outside of the classroom or workplace because you're curious and enjoy learning.
  • You're comfortable collaborating with teammates and asking questions when you need help.
  • You take ownership of your work and are eager to continuously improve your technical skills.
  • You're excited to work on mission-critical software that supports national security
