Who We Are
Trusted Space builds solutions both on the ground and in space. Our solutions provide advanced capabilities supporting missions vital to our Nation’s defense, intelligence, and science sectors. Our diverse talented staff of scientists, engineers, and business professionals support critical missions including Space Domain Awareness, Battlespace Awareness & Decision Support, Space Exploration & Science, and the establishment of core Space Infrastructure.

Our Culture
As a customer-focused service provider, Trusted Space values its employees and clients. We live by our values; central to this principle is the concept to treat others as you would like others to treat you. We offer a collaborative and supportive work environment, world class benefits, and work-life balance. We encourage life-long learning and continuous improvement in all that we do. Each day, we seek to be better than the previous day, embracing our journey to Excellence. We consider it a privilege to work with our customers on their greatest challenges.

Job Description
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, building high-quality systems from the ground up, and contributing to mission-critical space and defense programs. This role offers meaningful technical ownership, the ability to influence system architecture, and the flexibility to do your best work in a balanced environment.

In this role, you will:

• Develop software in a collaborative hybrid (TS/unclassified) environment, with most work performed remotely (typically around 70%)
• Play a key role in integration efforts across the program’s hybrid architecture
• Partner directly with users to shape system scope, refine requirements, and design new capabilities
• Provide analytical and technical guidance throughout the full development lifecycle — from concept to implementation
• Support evaluations of systems for compliance with government and commercial software and safety standards
• Build robust C++ applications using modern tools, practices, and architectural approaches
 
With a largely remote schedule and a culture that prioritizes work-life balance, this role is ideal for someone who wants to lead meaningful technical efforts without sacrificing flexibility or personal time. It’s a great fit for engineers who want influence, autonomy, and the chance to build systems that matter.

 Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or related. Additional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • 8+ years in software engineering or related experience
  • 3 years of experience with C++ (preferably C++11 or newer)
  • Experience with Python 3
  • Ability to work in both Windows and Linux environments (Mostly Linux)
  • Must have the ability to architect software solutions using new and novel concepts
  • An active Top Secret/SCI clearance

Desired Skills
  • Familiarity with Machine Learning (ML) frameworks and concepts (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, RLlib)
  • Familiarity with Agile Methodology
  • Familiarity with Java and/or Scala
  • Experience with database programming (e.g. MongoDB)
  • Experience with containerization (e.g. Docker)
  • Experience with C++20 or newer

Salary Range: The salary range for this role is $165,000-$200,000. Please note that this range is a general guideline and can vary. Trusted Space, LLC considers several factors when extending an offer including, but not limited to: scope, location, position responsibilities, education/training, key skills and business considerations.
 

Benefits: Trusted Space seeks to create an environment where Employees are empowered and supported to achieve their full potential. We encourage life-long learning within our Agile & Innovative work environment. We offer competitive compensation and benefits including medical, dental, and vision plans; life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance; 401(k) plan; paid holidays and generous paid time off; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and other benefits to promote health, wellness, and a positive work-life balance.
