ABOUT SPHINX

Sphinx builds software to solve complex national security problems in Space. Founded by engineers and technologists with deep experience across commercial and defense technology, we were frustrated by the outdated and insecure technology America's service members are forced to rely on. We're here to do better.

We’re focused on building modern, scalable products with an emphasis on using open source technologies. Expect talented, motivated, and interesting colleagues who emphasize collaboration, transparency, and individual responsibility.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will serve as the bridge between stakeholders and engineers. You will significantly contribute to the development of core platform services as well as design technology to support the operations of various US government satellite programs, having a leading role in determining what we build and how we work.

Advocating for the user to improve product quality, security, and performance that have a particular impact on your team and others.
Managing projects simultaneously and executing day-to-day tasks to ensure timely delivery.
Communicating progress and ensuring alignment with stakeholders and engineers.
Supporting architecture of backend services as part of the platform ecosystem with an emphasis on automation, testing, and security.
Creating high-quality technical documentation for processes and software architecture for Sphinx software.
Owning the product backlogs, significantly contributing to the software roadmap, and aligning engineers on the most important problems to solve and why.
Influencing the space ecosystem through software demonstrations, relationships, marketing documentation, etc.
Scaling the services and solving interesting Space Communication challenges.

You might be a good fit if you have:

5+ years of working on or leading software development product teams to ship functional software
Exceptional communication skills, working with the government and mission partner end-users to design solutions to their needs
Demonstrable experience translating between highly technical customer requirements and software development objectives
Strong technical writing ability
Strong knowledge in cloud-based systems (AWS, Gitlab, Slack, etc)
Experience with Jira or similar project management tools
