Maxar is looking for a highly skilled Software Engineer to join our Maxar Ground System team in Westminster, CO.

You will fill an important role on a team that values collaboration, an ownership attitude and continual learning. An ideal candidate will love to practice world class software engineering disciplines and bring a quality first mindset to work every day. If you enjoy solving complicated problems working with high volume data sets, this is an excellent opportunity for you to explore. We believe that good ideas can come from anywhere and we are focused on succeeding as a team. Maxar provides an opportunity to work in a vibrant, mature Agile environment. We embrace transparency and relish feedback loops that drive continuous improvement.

At Maxar, we realize that "Space is Cool". From manufacturing and flying satellites, to producing image products that can be seen in everyday apps like Google Maps to contributing earth imagery to stop slavery in the fishing industry. We don't create typical software and we aren't solving the same old problems that a hundred other companies are solving. We make a difference in the world, and we always seek to harness our capabilities For a Better World. Opportunities and growth are abundant at Maxar, and we'd love to have you join our team.

Your Career:

We live Maxar's core values every day. Three of those values, "You Matter"; "We Act Like Owners"; and "We Stay Curious", create a backdrop where your growth, success and fulfillment are foundational elements to everything we do. We provide amazing resources to support learning and we set aside time for dedicated professional development, conference attendance, corporate partner and industry training, peer group collaboration, hackathons, as well as paid certifications and education reimbursement. We will work with you to define a career path that takes you where you want to go.

What you will do with your teammates:
  • Design, develop and enhance software services to exceed our customers' expectations. This includes extensive test automation to ensure stability and utilization of CI/CD practices for high reliability.
  • Work with our technology partners such as AWS to introduce never seen before capabilities to the market.
  • Foster and support the on-going growth and practices of agile cloud development within the organization.
  • Provide Tier-3 level support of the software you and your team own.
  • Demonstrate service ownership mindset for multiple services that make up our domain.
  • Collaborate with motivated and highly skilled teammates. To us, this means being empathetic, being a good listener, sharing your knowledge and co-creating an environment where great ideas can rise from anyone in the organization.

Minimum Requirements:
  • Must be a US Citizen and be willing and able to obtain US Government Secret or higher clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline (Computer Science preferred). 4 years of experience may substitute for a degree.
  • 5+ years of experience programming in Java or a related language. A Master's degree may count for 2 years of experience
  • Experience with one or more
    • JSON/REST
    • Microservice Architectures
    • docker and/or Kubernetes

These skills would be amazing:
  • AWS Associate or Pro Certification

  • A math, physics, or GIS focused minor or major
  • Active Secret level government clearance
  • Demonstrated ability to drive cross team collaboration
  • SAFe Agilest 4 Certification
