Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional experience as a software engineer
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related technical field
  • Strong proficiency in Python
  • Experience with distributed systems and microservice architectures
  • Experience and understanding of databases (Postgres, etc)
  • Experience and understanding of pub/sub and streaming systems (RabbitMQ, Flink, etc)
  • Track record of delivering high-impact features and improvements in a collaborative environment

Bonus

  • Experience with Kubernetes
  • Experience introducing metrics and monitoring to increase system stability
  • Proficiency in C++, Go, Rust
  • Experience building fleet management systems

Astranis pay ranges are informed and defined through professional-grade salary surveys and compensation data sources. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, and the level and scope of the position.
