# Software Engineer at Constellation Space

- **Company:** Constellation Space
- **Location:** Seattle, WA
- **Compensation:** $120k–$180k
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-04-24

## Job description

The Role Constellation is looking for a versatile Software Engineer to build the backbone of our ground and simulation software. You will architect robust backend systems that allow our operators to communicate with, simulate, and track aerospace assets in real-time.

## Responsibilities

- Design and build highly concurrent, distributed backend services.
- Develop data ingestion pipelines capable of handling high-throughput, low-latency flight data.
- Create software tools and simulation environments used by internal teams for mission planning.
- Write clean, well-tested code and participate in rigorous peer reviews.

## Requirements

- B.S. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related discipline.
- 3+ years of professional software development experience.
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend language (e.g., Go, Python, C++, or Rust).
- Solid understanding of networking, databases (SQL/NoSQL), and distributed systems architecture.

## About Constellation Space

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Constellation Space builds an AI-powered operating system (ConstellationOS) that autonomously manages and orchestrates satellite networks, predicting failures and rerouting traffic in under two seconds.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $6.5M round announced March 2026)
- **Headquarters**: Seattle, Washington, United States
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Kamran Majid (CEO), Laith Altarabishi, Raaid Kabir, Omeed Tehrani

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Space technology, satellite communications, defense, aerospace
- **Target customers**: Commercial fleet operators, government programs, and ground teams managing multi-vendor constellations (B2B, Government)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To build the critical autonomous infrastructure required to operate next-generation satellite networks at scale.

## Products & Services
- **ConstellationOS**: An AI-driven orchestration layer that ingests telemetry from satellites, ground stations, and weather systems (100,000+ messages/sec), predicts link degradation using physics-informed ML models, and autonomously executes reroutes, handoffs, and load balancing—all under strict operator policy. Type: SaaS / API platform.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $6.5M (oversubscribed Seed round closed March 2026); earlier $125K grant from Toloka.vc
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (Winter 2026 batch), Standard Capital, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Samsung NEXT, Fellows Fund, Founders Future
- **Growth Signals**: Currently in design partner phase with commercial and government operators; team of 4 founders with prior experience at SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA; actively hiring (Head of Operations, Principal Wireless Engineer, Graduate/PhD Research Intern ML)

## Competitive Advantages
- **ML-native predictive accuracy** of 90%+ for link failures, providing a 5-minute early warning window.
- **Autonomous action** (reroute, handoff, load balance) in under 2 seconds with zero human intervention.
- **Sub-second optical routing** and predictive thermal load-balancing.
- **Founding team’s deep domain expertise** from SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA.
- **ITAR-compliant and air-gapped deployment** options for government and defense clients.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Expanding design partner relationships with commercial and government satellite operators; scaling ConstellationOS from pilot to production; hiring key engineering and operations talent to support growth.
- **Direction for growth**: Becoming the standard operating system for mega-scale satellite networks (10,000+ satellites) and eventually for off-world telecommunications and compute.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: Early-stage startup with a small, highly experienced founding team tackling infrastructure problems that directly impact space operations. Emphasis on autonomy, ownership, and solving hard technical challenges.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Headquarters in Seattle, WA; likely hybrid or in-office given the nature of space systems work (not explicitly stated).
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Backed by top-tier VCs (YC, NVIDIA, OpenAI); opportunity to work on mission-critical AI/ML and network orchestration for the space industry; deep technical challenges in ML, distributed systems, and real-time control.
