At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.
Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.
About the Team:
The Integrated Software team is responsible for developing a wide array of software across the entire company. This includes controlling the rocket from launch pad to orbit, providing real-time control systems for engine testing, structures testing, and launch facilities, and lastly (but certainly not least) creating our factory of the future with our proprietary 3D printing technology. This team is at the forefront of driving Relativity Space towards our mission of a multiplanetary future, from changing how we manufacture rockets to how we fly them.
About the Role:
Design, develop and lead creation of core data components of our factory and launch software platform including:
- Data technology abstraction and API development
- Analytics and Reporting architectures
- Data modeling, management, and development
- Cloud and On-prem Application / Services / API development
In this role, you will be responsible for driving development of a distributed data platform spanning launch to factory components. You’ll be designing and creating technologies enabling data ingress/egress for the launch vehicle as well as core factory tools such as our Stargate printers. You’ll be making key tradeoff decisions, mentoring junior engineers, building new systems/tooling, and recommending / drive high impact across existing systems.
About You:
- Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 6+ years of experience implementing code level patterns to enable codebases and teams to scale, with 1+ years of experience leading data architectures at scale.
- 4+ years of experience leveraging an array of data technologies including one or many of the following: InfluxDB, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Kafka, Spark, and more.
- 4+ years of experience with at least one of C++, Go, Python, C#, Typescript.
- Familiarity with agile methodologies.
- Familiarity with containerization and deployment technologies like Kubernetes and Docker.
Nice to haves but not required:
- Machine Learning, AI, and other related technologies.
- Demonstrated ability to create scalable architectures across an array of usage patterns and organizations.
- Demonstrated ability to learn, grow and mentor others to drive best practices and/or accelerate development lifecycles.
- Demonstrated ability to plan organizational roadmaps and hiring strategies.
- Familiarity with other modern languages like Go and Rust.
At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
What the Team is Saying
What We Do
A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable launch vehicle, will reliably deliver payloads to orbit on-time and on-budget for customers – meeting the needs of growing demand for space infrastructure. Leveraging the benefits of additive manufacturing to design, test, and iterate at a pace unmatched in the industry, we are changing the way rockets are built and flown.
Our long-term goal is to create humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to fundamentally expand the possibilities of the human experience. The first step toward this vision starts here on Earth, by building the next great commercial launch company.
Why Work With Us
For 60 years, aerospace manufacturing has relied on fixed tooling and complex supply chains to slowly build rockets comprised of hundreds of thousands of parts. Leveraging advances in additive manufacturing, Relativity Space is strategically focused on reducing vehicle complexity, cost, and time to market.
