Description

The company builds rockets, and the software, data and AI running on them depend on dependable infrastructure and automated delivery.

The company is a fast-growing New Space business that provides launch services for small and medium-sized satellites and constellations into Low Earth Orbit. It is privately funded by technology investors and has a team of driven, talented people.

The team works on cutting-edge projects and treats platform engineering as a product, with developer experience and automation at its core.
