Job description

About the role

Muon seeks a Software Engineer to join our Mission Frontend team. In this role you will build and ship features across our Mission Command platform, the consolidated frontend for mission operations, customer-facing tools, and internal workflows. You'll work in a modern TypeScript monorepo and contribute to establishing this platform as the canonical interface for managing constellations, scheduling contacts, and monitoring tasking at scale. Day to day, you'll own features end-to-end; from design through deployment and post-launch operational health, collaborating closely with the team on technical design, and shared foundations. You'll also be part of a team that treats AI-assisted coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, and similar) as a core part of the workflow, applying the same rigor to AI-generated output as to human-authored code. This is a high-impact role delivering reliable, high-performance, and accessible experiences that satellite operators and customers depend on every day.

This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.

Responsibilities

Build and ship features across Muon Space's unified web platform, delivering reliable, high-performance, and accessible experiences for satellite operators, customers, and internal users.
Own features end-to-end, from design and implementation through deployment, with appropriate test coverage, documentation, and post-launch monitoring.
Participate actively in code reviews and technical design discussions, contributing informed perspectives and helping raise the quality bar across the team.
Collaborate across backend and product teams to define requirements as needed.
Support operational health of the features you ship, responding to issues surfaced through observability tooling and iterating to improve reliability and performance.
Grow into an autonomous, trusted contributor who consistently ships high-quality work and helps establish the unified web platform as the canonical interface for Muon's mission and operational needs.

Qualifications

BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field OR equivalent industry experience.
Strong problem solving mindset with a focus on the end user while considering long term outcomes.
5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with strongly-typed frontend languages such as TypeScript or Flow.
A passion for semantically correct, stable, clean code.
Demonstrated experience contributing to complex web applications.
Experience working in codebases with automated CI/CD pipelines and static analysis enforcement.
Proficiency in code revision management within larger, fast-moving teams.

Nice-to-have Skills

Experience with AI assisted / agentic coding tools such as Codex or Claude Code.
Experience working with SSR (server-side rendering), RSC (React server components), and isomorphic code.
Experience working with 3d applications.
Experience working with interactive mapping and/or geospatial data visualization.
Experiencing working with large, cross-team monorepos.
Experience with accessibility-focused component libraries such as React Aria or Radix UI.
Experience with frontend observability tooling (e.g., Grafana Faro, OpenTelemetry, Sentry).
Have had exposure to the aerospace/space industry, satellite operations concepts, or mission-critical software environments.
Experience authoring or maintaining CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions), containerized build/deploy pipelines (Docker, Helm), or automated dependency management tooling (e.g., Renovate, Dependabot).

Salary

The salary range for this role is $156,000 - $186,000. plus a competitive equity grant and comprehensive benefits package. Final compensation will be determined based on skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location as assessed during the interview process.
