Rust Software Engineer

K2 Space is revolutionizing spacecraft development with a focus on modern programming languages, particularly Rust. As a Rust Software Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of building mission-critical software for some of the largest spacecraft ever flown.

Your role will involve developing real-time, fault-tolerant control systems for 20kW+ spacecraft, creating software applications for various subsystems including propulsion, guidance, and communications. You'll design state machines, author drivers, and implement robust tools for rapid, quality code deployment.

In your first six months, you'll develop core pieces of the software architecture, including strategies for fault tolerance and real-time control. Within a year, you'll implement larger systems and begin verification using simulators. By your second year, you'll see your code operating on multiple spacecraft in demanding missions.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in Rust development, with a degree in a STEM field or equivalent experience. Experience with spacecraft flight software, Linux systems programming, and embedded systems is highly valued. This role offers a competitive salary range of $85,000 - $200,000, plus equity and comprehensive benefits.

Join K2 Space to push the boundaries of spacecraft technology and be part of a team that's redefining the future of space exploration. If you're passionate about Rust and space technology, this is your opportunity to make a significant impact in a cutting-edge field.
