Software Engineer - Space Reliability

Job description

Spire is making a fundamental shift in how it operates its constellation. We are moving from a model where trained operators watch dashboards and escalate to experts, to one where the system is fully autonomous, self-healing, and data intelligent. This team is building that future, and this role sits at the center of it. The old model relies on operators, escalations, manual processes, and institutional knowledge locked in the heads of a few experts. It does not scale and it does not belong in a modern space company. We know what we want to replace it with: SRE principles applied to a constellation, autonomous fault handling, AI-driven anomaly detection, low toil, high data quality, and continuous improvement baked into the system. You will be one of the engineers who makes that real. What You Will Work On: Autonomous Operations: - Design and build fault detection, isolation, and automated recovery pipelines for satellites and ground stations - Drive elimination of manual processes. If a human is doing it repeatedly, automate it. - Build space situational awareness systems so the fleet always knows its own state - Develop operational automation for mission execution at scale Teleme...
