About Rebel Space Technologies:
At Rebel Space, our mission is to protect critical space infrastructure through enhanced observability and space system cybersecurity. We believe that as space infrastructure expands, it will be increasingly difficult to secure and monitor these systems against critical failures or evolving cyber threats. To address this, we are building software that empowers developers and operators to both rigorously evaluate and secure their systems from conception through to operations, and autonomously detect and respond to recognized threats or issues. We supercharge the way space infrastructure is tested, monitored, and secured, ensuring systems are safeguarded in an increasingly complex space environment. Join us in building the space security infrastructure of the future.
Senior Software Engineer:
In this role as a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a key member of our engineering team. You will lead the development of our enterprise observability software, contribute to our cybersecurity solutions, make architectural decisions for critical systems, and mentor a team of talented engineers.
