Staff 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 and at low latency to customers at scale.
This role is an architecture and technical-leadership seat for the Software focus area of the IR Data Products team. The engineer will own architecture and cross-team execution across defined IR data-system domains, translating longer-term technical direction into multi-quarter designs and delivered production systems. This role will lead multi-quarter initiatives to design and build scalable software architectures that make the system fast, cheap, reliable, evolvable, and ready for many-satellite scale.
