About The Role: 

• We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who wants real ownership in a fast-moving environment. 
• You'll help design, build, deploy, and operate the software that runs Urban Sky's manufacturing operation—a full-stack MRP system that tracks inventory, work orders, bills of materials, quality holds, and serialized parts from receiving through final integration. It's the operational backbone of how we actually build balloons. Because the company is growing quickly, the scope of the role will evolve over time, and you'll have meaningful influence over what we build next and how we build it. 
• You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the people using the software every day—manufacturing technicians, logistics coordinators, quality inspectors, and finance. There's no product manager between you and them. You'll learn how parts flow through the building, what makes a quarantine workflow painful at 3pm on a Friday, and how a missed traceability record turns into a compliance problem. Translating messy physical processes into clean software is most of the job. 
• The interfaces you build are for operators, not consumers. A shop-floor tech holding a tablet, scanning a barcode, working through a multi-step assembly procedure—that's your user. Touch targets, scanner integration, and drag-and-drop work instructions matter more than landing-page polish. 
• We operate in an aerospace-regulated environment (AS9100). Every mutation needs an audit trail. Serialized parts need end-to-end traceability. "Move fast and break things" doesn't apply to production data. We still move fast—but with the discipline that comes from knowing a corrupted record can ground a flight. 
• You don't need prior MRP or manufacturing experience. You do need to be excited—or at least not intimidated—by learning a complex business domain alongside the code. 
• If you enjoy small teams and solving ambiguous problems, this role is likely a great fit. 

What You'll Do 

• Our overall software team is roughly 7 people, and this team will be just 2 people, everyone works across the stack. That's not aspirational—it's required. A small team with real ownership only works if everyone can contribute quickly and adapt as the company and product evolve. 
• Senior engineers here build trust by shipping early and expanding their scope through demonstrated ownership. 

What we need you to do right away

• We expect senior engineers to become productive almost immediately. 
• In your first days and weeks, you will: 
  • Set up your environment and start committing code within your first day or two 
  • Learn existing systems by improving them, not by watching from the sidelines 
  • Fix bugs, tighten rough edges, and ship small enhancements to production 
  • Participate in deployments, debugging, and operational workflows 
  • Use AI tools from the start to understand the codebase and accelerate contributions 
  • Ask questions, propose improvements, and engage in technical decisions 
• You won't be waiting for a long ramp period. 
• You'll build context by doing real work that ships. 

What you will grow quickly into

• As you gain context, scope expands fast. 
• Within your first couple of months, you'll be expected to: 
  • Own meaningful areas of our stack across backend, frontend, and infrastructure 
  • Lead design and implementation of projects that may span quarters 
  • Make architectural decisions with an eye toward reliability, operability, and future change 
  • Work directly with operators and stakeholders—often non-engineers—to refine solutions 
  • Drive systems from concept → implementation → production → iteration → support 
  • Continuously simplify, improve, and evolve what you own 
  • Help the team move faster by raising technical quality and reducing friction 
• By this point, you're not just contributing—you're a primary owner. 
• There are no lanes to stay in and no handoffs to hide behind. 
• If something feels confusing to an operator, that's an engineering problem. 
• If a system is brittle, slow, or overbuilt, that's an engineering problem. 
• If a workflow on the shop floor doesn't match the software, that's an engineering problem. 
• If requirements change mid-stream, that's reality—and adapting thoughtfully is part of the job. 
• If AI-generated code is messy, that's also an engineering problem. 
• You'll own systems end-to-end, from design through production and long-term maintenance—even as those systems evolve. 

Our engineering principles 

• These principles guide how we build systems in a fast-moving, real-world environment. 
• Design for operations, not just implementation 
• Software doesn't stop at merge. We design systems that can be deployed, monitored, debugged, and safely operated under changing constraints. 
• Favor simple, adaptable systems 
• Clarity beats cleverness—especially when systems need to change quickly. 
• Own the full lifecycle 
• Engineers are responsible for their systems from design through production, operational support, and ongoing evolution. 
• Build reliability through feedback 
• Observability is a first-class concern. Logs, metrics, and traces help us understand how systems behave as usage and requirements change. 
• Use abstraction sparingly and intentionally 
• Abstractions should make change easier, not harder. If they obscure failures or slow iteration, they're the wrong choice. 
• Scale and evolve based on evidence 
• We increase complexity, performance, and scale in response to real operational needs—not speculative futures. 
• Leverage AI with engineering judgment 
• We use AI aggressively to increase velocity and explore solutions, while remaining fully accountable for correctness and maintainability. 
• Embrace iteration as the default 
• Progress comes from frequent adjustments and steady improvement, not rigid plans. 

AI-assisted development 

• AI isn't supplemental here. It's a core part of our SDLC. 
• We use Claude Code for feature implementation, run automated multi-agent code review on pull requests, and have AI-driven quality checks integrated into CI. A meaningful portion of production code is AI-written and human-shaped. The skill we care about isn't typing speed or autocomplete—it's the judgment to review, restructure, reject, or rewrite AI output until it's correct, readable, and operable. 
• We expect you to: 
  • Use AI tools daily for implementation, debugging, refactoring, and exploration 
  • Adapt quickly as tools, models, and workflows evolve 
  • Apply strong judgment to AI-generated code—you're accountable for what ships, not the model 
  • Use AI to build production systems, not just prototypes 
  • Treat AI as leverage, not a replacement for understanding 
• We care far more about how you use AI than which model you prefer. 

What we are looking for

• This is a senior role. We're optimizing for experience, judgment, and adaptability. 
• You likely have: 
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience 
  • Strong fundamentals in system design, data structures, and architecture 
  • Experience building and operating backend systems at scale 
  • Solid instincts for data modeling, schema design, and SQL 
  • Comfort with cloud infrastructure and modern DevOps practices 
  • Experience owning production systems in environments that evolve quickly 
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate as priorities shift 
• You probably enjoy: 
  • TypeScript and modern web development 
  • Designing clean APIs and well-structured monoliths 
  • Thinking carefully about data models, schemas, and migrations 
  • Infrastructure, reliability, and operational excellence 
  • Mentoring others and raising the bar for the team 
• Learning quickly and adjusting course as new information emerges

Technologies (not a checklist) 

• We currently work with technologies such as: 
  • TypeScript / JavaScript 
  • React, Vite, Mantine UI 
  • tRPC for API contracts 
  • PostgreSQL (raw SQL and migrations, not just an ORM) 
  • ClickHouse for analytics 
  • Playwright for end-to-end testing 
  • AWS, Terraform, Docker 
  • CI/CD pipelines 
• You don't need experience with every tool—but you should be comfortable learning new systems as the stack evolves. 

 Benefits 

• Salary $150,000 - $180,000 per year  
• Stock Options 
• Medical, Vision and Dental 
• Unlimited Vacation Days 
• Cell Phone Bill Stipend

About the Role:

We're hiring a Principal Engineer to serve as a Technical Lead across multiple teams in the Money Group – Gusto's fastest-growing organization and a cornerstone of the company's transformation into the Small Business Finance Platform. 

You'll define the long-term technical vision for systems that power cash flow management, lending, expense controls, invoicing, payments, and tax optimization (something about consumer financial health?)– ensuring the architecture scales as we grow. This role spans strategy and execution: setting architectural direction across 5+ teams, vetting external partners, prototyping new product lines to unblock product decisions, extracting services from our monolith, and mentoring the engineers around you. You'll be the person who fills whatever role the group needs to hit its goals – from hands-on coding to strategic planning to unblocking other teams.

If you're excited about building financial infrastructure with real impact on the people and businesses that power the modern economy, we'd love for you to join us.

About the Team:

Money is Gusto's fastest-growing group, building financial products for both sides of the employment relationship. For small businesses, we're extending the category of employer-facing financial services – bill pay, invoicing, working capital, expense cards, and cash flow insights that help SMBs get paid faster and pay others with confidence. For employees, we build tools that reduce financial stress: on-demand pay, high-yield cash accounts, automated savings, and credit-building features. This is a deeply technical domain spanning payments infrastructure, lending, multi-party integrations, and mobile-first experiences – with the complexity and scale to match.

Together, these teams are building toward a unified financial operating system for small businesses – accounting, banking, payments, lending, and tax – all connected to Gusto's payroll and people platform.

• Define the north-star architectural vision for the Money Group and continuously identify shorter-term projects that move us toward it.
• Architect the convergence of Gusto's People Stack (payroll, HR, benefits) and Finance Stack (banking, accounting, payments, lending) into a unified platform for small businesses.
• Lead service migration from a large Ruby-on-Rails monolith into a service-oriented architecture, defining clean domain boundaries across money movement, lending, and tax.
• Lead technical due diligence – evaluating codebases, data models, and engineering teams for compatibility with Gusto's platform.
• Manage a complex partner ecosystem.
• Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept to de-risk new ideas and unblock product decisions quickly.
• Tackle complex, ambiguous problems in close partnership with Product Management, Design, Data Science, Compliance, and Operations.
• Drive AI-native architecture decisions – from LLM-powered transaction categorization and tax optimization to conversational financial management experiences.
• Act as a technical consultant across all Money sub-teams – Consumer, Business, Tax Credits, Payments – ensuring architectural coherence across the group.
• Set the bar for technical excellence – through code, design reviews, and the standards you hold the group to.
• Mentor fellow engineers, contribute to the growth of senior and staff engineers, and help build healthy, high-performing teams.

Here’s what we're looking for:

• 15+ years of software engineering experience (successful applicants typically meet or exceed this).
• Deep expertise in distributed systems, particularly in payments or fintech – including data modeling for financial systems, consistency guarantees for money movement, and compliance-aware architecture.
• Proven track record of engineering, scaling, and operating large, interconnected production systems.
• Experience setting long-term technical vision and driving multi-year architectural transformations – not just executing migrations, but identifying the right boundaries, sequencing the work across teams, and ensuring strong technical stewards drive execution.
• Experience working across multiple teams, influencing both technical direction and product strategy. Demonstrated ability to own group-level OKRs and be accountable for the technical strategy that delivers them.
• Experience navigating decisions for core infrastructure, particularly in fintech – evaluating APIs, negotiating technical contracts, and leading integration from evaluation through production.
• Ability to bring clarity to complex problems – communicating technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders, identifying significant risks or opportunities before others, and driving decisions.
• A track record of raising the technical bar – through code quality, design rigor, testing and security best practices, and the standards you set for those around you.
• A track record of filling whatever role the group needs – from hands-on prototyping to strategic planning to firefighting – with a bias toward action.
• Experience in complex, highly regulated domains (e.g., fintech, payments, banking, lending,

YOUR MISSION

Software is the central nervous system for True Anomaly's engineering and product thesis. Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems in time and space. True Anomaly is seeking a dedicated Senior Elixir Software Engineer to drive the development and evolution of our distributed spacecraft ground control system. 

This is a high-autonomy, high-accountability role. You'll own entire service domains from conception to production, drive architectural decisions that affect the distributed systems powering our ground control infrastructure, and set the standard for code quality that junior and mid-level engineers will follow. You won't wait to be assigned work; you'll identify what needs to be done, propose solutions, and drive them to completion. When you see reliability issues, you'll diagnose root causes, scope the fix, and champion the work to address them. When patterns aren't serving us, you'll propose better ones and lead their adoption. 

You do not need to have experience building space ground systems or experience in aerospace. You'll have ownership of challenging, greenfield problems and a chance to fundamentally impact the outcome of future conflict (and the future of the company), all while enjoying world-class benefits including platinum healthcare, flexible work hours/location, highly competitive compensation and a generous stock options package. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Own and deliver complex distributed system features end-to-end, from technical design through production deployment and iteration across satellite command and control, mission planning, mission data processing, and data analysis systems
• Drive architectural direction for Elixir/OTP systems, establishing patterns and conventions for fault tolerance, concurrency, and scalability that scale across the team and codebase
• Proactively identify and address technical debt, reliability risks, and performance bottlenecks in distributed systems
• Set the quality bar through rigorous code review, championing testing practices, and writing code that serves as a reference implementation for the team
• Mentor and elevate junior and mid-level engineers through pairing, design discussions, and constructive code review that teaches, not just approves
• Collaborate as a technical partner with product, frontend engineers, backend engineers, space operators, and astrodynamics algorithm engineers, contributing to system-wide architectural decisions
• Ship efficiently and iteratively, breaking complex distributed systems work into well-scoped increments while maintaining a bias toward completion over perfection
• Document decisions and patterns, ensuring the team's collective knowledge grows and onboarding becomes easier over time 

 WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE 

• You see a PR from a junior engineer that works but misuses OTP patterns; you don't just approve it; you take the time to explain the supervision tree design and why it matters for fault tolerance
• You notice a GenServer is becoming a bottleneck under load; you propose and implement a redesign using dynamic supervisors or process pooling, then document the pattern for the team
• You're assigned a feature and the requirements are ambiguous; you proactively clarify with product and operations, propose a technical approach, and share it with the team before diving into implementation 
• You see downtime as an opportunity, not a break; you're the kind of engineer who notices the intermittent cluster synchronization issue everyone's been working around and decides to finally fix it
• You disagree with an architectural decision; you articulate your concerns constructively, propose alternatives with tradeoffs, and commit fully once a decision is made
• You're thinking beyond your current ticket; you're aware of how your work fits into the broader ground system architecture and operational mission, and you surface risks or opportunities early 

 QUALIFICATIONS 

• 7+ years of software development experience
• Expert-level command of Elixir and OTP, including deep understanding of BEAM internals, scheduling, process architecture, supervision strategies, and runtime characteristics
• Deep expertise in designing and building resilient, fault-tolerant distributed systems, including advanced patterns for process supervision, clustering, and state management
• Strong testing philosophy and hands-on experience with ExUnit, property-based testing, and integration testing strategies for distributed systems; you understand what to test, not just how
• Proven experience designing and evolving service architectures, API boundaries, and inter-service communication patterns at scale
• Fluency with gRPC, RESTful, and WebSocket-based services, including debugging integration issues and contributing to API design discussions
• Comfort operating across the stack when needed; you can read frontend code, understand infrastructure constraints, and collaborate effectively with engineers across disciplines
• Track record of working in Git-based workflows with high standards for commit hygiene, PR quality, and collaborative review processes
• U.S. Citizen and eligible for DoD Secret or TS/SCI clearance 

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE 

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or similar discipline 
• Experience as a technical lead or primary backend on a product with real users and production constraints
• Deep understanding of OTP including BEAM scheduling, GenServers, run queues, pg, the Actor model, and advanced patterns like dynamic supervisors, registries, and distributed process groups
• Experience building and shipping complex, real-time systems with demanding reliability and performance requirements (real-time telemetry, large-scale data processing, mission-critical operations) 
• Experience with OAuth2, role-based access controls, and security patterns for sensitive systems '
• Deep database experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and operational concerns at scale
• Experience with monitoring, observability, and distributed tracing in production systems (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana)
• Strong collaboration and communication skills that let you thrive in a culture that values respectful, professional, and constructive conflict 

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: $160,000 - $275,000
• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.

About The Role: 

The Head of Ground Support Systems will own the design, development, and productionization of all mechanical ground support equipment (GSE) that interfaces with Urban Sky’s flight systems but stays on the ground. This is the hardware that makes flight possible: high-pressure gas fill systems and plumbing, pressurized gas storage assemblies with regulators and complex packaging, ground anchors, mechanical releases, weight plate hold-downs, truck-mount anchors with balloon collars, and any other heavy mechanical system that touches a flight vehicle without leaving the surface of the earth.

This work is serious engineering. Many of these systems involve high-pressure gas handling where a packaging failure or an accidental impact — a forklift strike, a dropped component, a field mishap — can have real safety consequences. You will be responsible for designing systems that are robust, safe, and field-ready, while still moving at the pace of a startup that is leading the commercialization of the stratosphere.

You will operate with a high degree of autonomy. Urban Sky’s engineering culture is built around Responsible Engineers who act as CEOs of their products — owning every decision from concept through production. You will define the technical roadmap for ground support systems, set priorities, drive designs to completion, and ship products. Many of these systems are sold to customers as part of Urban Sky’s broader ecosystem, so the quality bar is high and the iteration pace is fast.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Lead the design, analysis, prototyping, and productionization of all mechanical ground support equipment, including high-pressure gas fill hoses and plumbing assemblies.
• Design and develop high-pressure gas storage systems with integrated plumbing, regulators, relief devices, and packaging that accounts for field hazards such as vehicle impacts and rough handling.
• Engineer ground anchoring systems, mechanical releases, weight plate hold-downs, truck-mount anchors, balloon collars, and other heavy mechanical devices used during launch and recovery operations.
• Own the full product lifecycle for GSE hardware — from requirements definition and concept development through detailed design, test, qualification, and production release.
• Perform structural, pressure, and thermal analyses to validate designs and ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards for high-pressure gas systems.
• Drive design-for-manufacturability and design-for-field-serviceability into every product, ensuring systems can be built efficiently and maintained by field crews.
• Develop and maintain safety documentation, operating procedures, and hazard analyses for all ground support systems involving pressurized gases or heavy mechanical loads.
• Collaborate with flight systems engineers, field operations, and manufacturing to ensure GSE interfaces cleanly with flight hardware and meets operational requirements.
• Rapidly iterate on designs through hands-on prototyping, testing, and real-world field validation — building and shipping products at startup speed.
• Support customer-facing product delivery when GSE is sold as part of Urban Sky’s commercial systems, ensuring products meet quality and reliability standards.

Who you Are:

• U.S. citizenship or permanent residency required.
• A mechanical engineer who deeply understands high-pressure gas systems, heavy mechanical assemblies, and robust product design. This is your craft and you are deeply skilled at it.
• A self-starter who thrives with autonomy and doesn’t need someone to tell you what to build next. You see what needs to be done, you make a plan, and you execute.
• Someone who thrives in ambiguity and moves fast. You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and iterating toward the right answer through building and testing.
• A builder who ships. You are not interested in analysis paralysis or endless design reviews. You want to get hardware into the real world, learn from it, and make it better.
• Safety-conscious by instinct. You understand that high-pressure gas systems and heavy mechanical equipment demand rigorous engineering discipline, and you bring that discipline naturally without slowing down.
• Hard-working and highly motivated. You want to be part of a company that is commercializing the stratosphere, and you are ready to work hard to make that happen.
• Scrappy and resourceful. You can work within constraints, find creative solutions, and deliver results without waiting for perfect conditions or unlimited budgets.
• A strong communicator who can work across teams, write clear documentation, and explain technical decisions to both engineers and non-engineers.

#LI-Onsite

We’re looking for a Staff Cyber Resilience Engineer to lead our defense against the attacks that matter most: ransomware, destructive wipes, and data loss at scale. This is a hands-on technical leadership role.  You will own the design and engineering of our Isolated Recovery Environment, set the standard for Infrastructure as Code across the organization, and ensure that if our AWS environment is ever compromised, we can restore operations with certainty and speed.

You will work with a high-caliber engineering team, have direct influence on our security architecture, and lead recovery exercises that test the organization end-to-end.

What You’ll Do

Own Our Recovery Architecture

•       Design and build our Isolated Recovery Environment — a hardened AWS account with immutable vaults that break the attacker’s kill chain before it reaches our data.
•       Threat model our environment with a deep understanding of cloud-native attack patterns: IAM privilege escalation, backup deletion, ransomware persistence, and lateral movement across accounts.
•       Validate and continuously improve backup configurations to ensure recoverability, not just existence.

Standardize and Automate Infrastructure

•       Lead our transition to 100% Infrastructure as Code. Every asset (VPCs, IAM roles, security groups) must be defined in Terraform so we can redeploy the entire stack into a clean account via automated pipeline.
•       Build automated recovery workflows that can tear down a compromised environment and bootstrap a fresh, hardened one from verified code and clean data.
•       Write and maintain executable recovery playbooks that detail the exact API calls and CLI commands needed to restore the application — tested, versioned, and runnable, not static documents.

Validate, Test, and Lead Exercises

•       Develop automated scripts (Python or Go) to smoke test recovered data and validate integrity post-restoration.
•       Lead regular hands-on recovery drills that simulate total loss of a critical environment and full recovery into a secondary clean account. Own the after-action process and drive improvements.

Drive Engineering Standards

•       Act as the resilience authority for the engineering organization — shaping high-availability architecture decisions, influencing design reviews, and raising the floor on how we think about recoverability.
•       Partner with the Site Reliability Engineering team on multi-region deployments and high-availability design, ensuring cyber resilience is embedded in architecture from the start.
•       Champion IaC and immutable infrastructure practices across teams, not just within your own workstream.

What You Bring

Required

•       8+ years of experience in complex cloud environments (any of AWS/GCP/Azure), including at least 3 years in AWS.  EKS/Kubernetes experience is a strong plus.
•       Strong Terraform skills. You should be able to modularize complex environments so they are environment-agnostic.
•       Hands-on familiarity with the Secure Vault pattern: protecting data in a separate, highly restricted AWS account with tight network controls.
•       Advanced shell scripting and proficiency in either Python or Go to automate restoration tasks that native AWS tooling doesn’t cover.
•       Experience with CI/CD tooling (Scalr, GitHub Actions, or equivalent) to enable broad adoption of recovery pipelines across the organization.
•       Proven ability to engineer and automate end-to-end restoration workflows.

Preferred

•       Hands-on experience leading technical recovery efforts from an actual cyber attack or destructive incident.
•       Experience with chaos engineering tooling to stress-test recovery assumptions.
•       Familiarity with NIST SP 800-34 (Contingency Planning) or similar frameworks.
•       AWS Security Specialty certification or equivalent demonstrated expertise.

The estimated base salary range for new hires into this role is $205,000- $233,000 annually + annual bonus depending on factors such as job-related skills, relevant experience, and location. We also offer a competitive benefits package, including 401(k) match, medical, dental and vision insurance; life and disability insurance; generous paid time off including vacation, sick leave, floating and fixed holidays, maternity and bonding leave; EAP, other wellbeing resources; and much more.
