Full Stack Software Engineer (Full Stack Developer All levels)

Redwire is an innovative space and defense technology company driving advanced capabilities across the aerospace sector. The Full Stack Software Engineer designs, builds, and maintains end-to-end software capabilities for simulation, digital-engineering, and mission-system platforms, including frontend interfaces, backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and real-time systems. The role collaborates with systems engineers, mission analysts, UI/UX designers, and DevOps teams to deliver reliable, scalable, secure, and performance-critical applications.

What you'll do:

• Design and build full-stack software capabilities supporting simulation, digital-engineering, and mission-system workflows
• Develop advanced frontend interfaces using TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and scalable UI architectures
• Implement high-performance backend services in Python, C++, or Rust for APIs, microservices, and real-time pipelines
• Integrate with distributed systems including simulation engines, data pipelines, and mission-analysis tools
• Design and maintain APIs including REST, GraphQL, and gRPC interfaces with strong schema governance
• Build real-time processing pipelines supporting deterministic, concurrent, or multi-threaded execution
• Develop complex visualization tools for physics-based simulations and real-time system behavior
• Ensure reliability and observability through logging, metrics, tracing, error handling, and automated testing
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines including systems, mission analysis, UI/UX, and DevOps
• Contribute to CI/CD and engineering rigor through testing, code reviews, and Git-driven workflows

What they're looking for:

• STEM foundation — Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related STEM field
• Full‑stack engineering experience — 1–5 years building production systems across frontend and backend domains
• Systems‑level understanding — Concurrency, distributed systems, data modeling, caching, and performance optimization
• Modern frontend expertise — TypeScript/JavaScript, React, and contemporary UI engineering practices
• Core web fundamentals — HTML, CSS, browser internals, rendering pipelines, and performance constraints
• Advanced React patterns — Hooks, context architectures, compound components, scalable state management
• Design systems & component architecture — Component libraries, design systems, CSS‑in‑JS, modular CSS, utility‑first approaches
• Complex visualization work — Physics‑based simulations, engineering workflows, real‑time system behavior
• Backend integration fluency — REST, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSockets
• To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
