Senior Software Engineer, IR Data Products

About the role

Muon Space is building and operating a growing portfolio of infrared (IR) space missions that generate mission-critical Earth observation data for a diverse and expanding set of customers. These missions include the FireSat constellation, which delivers calibrated IR imagery and derived wildfire products to wildfire operators, the scientific community, the US Government, and commercial partners; and the Space Based Environmental Monitoring (SBEM) mission, which provides data for weather and cloud characterization, situational awareness, and a broad range of additional use cases. Muon's IR Data Products team owns the multi-mission, multi-customer software systems that process, store, and disseminate the data from these missions — turning raw downlink into calibrated imagery and derived products, and delivering those products reliably to customers at scale.

In this role, you will build, harden, and operate the production pipelines and services that process and serve data from Muon’s Infrared missions — with an emphasis on robust processing pipelines, low latency, strong observability, and geospatial data serving. The ideal candidate is a hands-on senior engineer who has shipped and operated production geospatial or scientific data pipelines at scale. They combine strong software engineering fundamentals with real geospatial domain knowledge and take pride in building systems that ar
