Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth
Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth.
As a Front-end Engineer at Inversion, you will work as part of the simulation team to design, develop, and maintain the user interface/user experience (UI/UX) of the applications that support the simulation and test environments for our flight systems. The simulation team is responsible for ensuring that flight software and flight hardware can be continuously integrated and tested under realistic flight conditions. You will play a key role in the design and development of data visualization, data analysis, and self-service tools that will enable fast, repeatable development and deployment workflows across the engineering stack. Your work will empower Inversion’s engineering teams to iterate rapidly throughout the development life cycle and will strengthen Inversion’s ability to put our products into the hands of our customers with unprecedented speed and agility.
What You'll Do- Design, deploy, and maintain the client-side logic and interface of the applications that support simulation workflows, including high-performance computing (HPC), software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing
- Select a front-end tech stack that ensures the performance and maintainability of our applications
- Design and implement a front-end architecture that strikes the right balance between simplicity and flexibility
- Design and develop the user interfaces (UI) that support simulation configuration, management, and monitoring
- Work with back-end engineers to integrate the front-end with the back-end and deliver a smooth user experience (UX)
- Contribute to the design and development of a simulation system capable of automatically provisioning and deploying resources to support simulation workflows
Candidates must meet all of the following qualifications to be considered for this position:
- 3+ years of professional experience in front-end or full-stack development

- Extensive experience with HTML/CSS
- Proficiency in one or more scripting languages (Python, Lua, Bash, PowerShell, etc.)
- Experience with Linux-based systems
- Experience with modern DevOps practices
- Experience with one or more front-end architectures (monolithic, modular, micro front-ends, component-based, headless, Flux, etc.)
- Experience with one or more API architectures (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets, Webhooks, etc.)
- Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases (MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, DynamoDB, InfluxDB, etc.)
- Experience with responsive design
The ideal candidate will also meet one of the following qualifications:
- Expertise in UI/UX design
- Expertise in SaaS development
- Expertise in React
- Experience with tools for building web interfaces (Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, Shadcn UI, etc.)
- Experience with data visualization (graphs, charts, 3D, etc.)
- Experience with time-series databases (InfluxDB, QuestDB, TimescaleDB, Prometheus, etc.)
- Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, CloudStack, etc.)
- Familiarity with system observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc.)
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Docker Compose, etc.)
