Software Engineer

What You'll Do

• Write, test, and maintain application code — from frontend components (React/TypeScript) to backend services and APIs (Golang and/or TypeScript) — following team standards.
• Participate in code reviews, growing your judgment on what "production-ready" looks like.
• Help build and troubleshoot product features, APIs, and UI workflows, working across the stack as needed.
• Identify and fix bugs, edge cases, and small-scope issues, with support from senior teammates.
• Maintain technical documentation, design notes, and testing coverage for the features you build.
• Build working knowledge of distributed systems, service architecture, and Astronomer's product across the application layer.
• Participate in on-call rotation, pairing with senior engineers to troubleshoot and resolve incidents.

What You'll Bring

• 0–4 years of experience in software or application engineering (or equivalent internship/coursework for Software Engineer I).
• Working knowledge of at least one backend language (Go, TypeScript, Python) and familiarity with modern frontend frameworks (React or similar).
• Understanding of REST/GraphQL API design and how frontend and backend systems communicate.
• Comfortable with version control (Git) and automated testing practices (unit, integration, or end-to-end).
• Clear written communication and a habit of documenting your work.
• Comfortable receiving feedback and iterating quickly.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with modern frontend tooling (React, state management, component libraries) or backend frameworks.
• Familiarity with API design, authentication/authorization patterns, or GraphQL.
• Familiarity with Apache Airflow or other data-orchestration tools.
