About the Role
York Space Systems is seeking a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer passionate about building software that pushes the bounds of what's possible. Our software is a modern web-based application (React/TypeScript, C# .NET) with a microservice infrastructure (Docker, Kafka, REST) that operators use to monitor and control constellations of spacecraft across several active missions. As a senior member of the team, you'll take end-to-end ownership of complex features, drive technical planning and breakdown, and actively invest in the growth of the engineers around you. You'll work closely with engineers, satellite operators, customers, and UI/UX to tackle hard problems like collision avoidance, conjunction analysis, orbit-raising maneuver planning, operation center failover, cross-satellite network maintenance, ground station contact scheduling, and multi-vehicle mission coordination. Your work will be integrated with our in-house simulation software and deployed in Mission Operation Centers where it directly supports active missions in orbit. Prior space-industry experience is not required.
