Software Development Manager

At Stoke, we believe a thriving space economy will enable a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future here on Earth. That is why we’re building Nova, our fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle. Designed for daily flight, Nova tackles the core challenges of space transportation by reducing cost, increasing availability, and improving reliability. By radically lowering launch costs and increasing flight cadence, we’re helping create a truly scalable space industry.

Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and empowered to take ownership of their work. If you want to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, we’d love to have you join us.

Description

A thriving economy in space is needed to make life on Earth more vibrant, sustainable, and equitable. Space technology will enable global access to information, solutions to climate change, answers to global food security, products that transform healthcare, clean energy production, and more. Today, rocket launch options are slow, expensive, and unreliable. Stoke is building the world’s most efficient fully and rapidly reusable rocket designed to fly daily, radically increasing access to space and opening up the space economy to safeguard our precious home, Earth. 

Boltline is our commercial software platform that not only helps Stoke safely and accurately build our reusable rocket, it also helps any advanced hardware manufacturing teams integrate, track, iterate, build, and test efficiently. 

As Software Development Manager on the Integrations team, you'll lead the team building and maintaining integrations into the Boltline ecosystem. The role has three parts: people management, product ownership, and hands-on technical contribution. You'll act as the team's spokesperson, working closely with internal and external stakeholders and technical leads. 

We're looking for someone who leads with servitude, drives quality through repeatable engineering practices, and operates with extreme ownership and clear communication. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.
