FreeFlyer, a.i. solutions | C++ Software Engineer, UI/UX Designer | Washington, D.C. area | ONSITE
FreeFlyer is a desktop-based spacecraft mission design software product used by organizations like NASA, the Air Force, international space agencies, and many others to plan and operate complex space missions. FreeFlyer provides an IDE to our users (rocket scientists!) where they can script up their own simulation for analysis then execute the simulation, generating multiple 2D, 3D, and text-based visualizations. We have a small and dedicated team that is needing to grow to keep up with the demand from our growing user base.
The FreeFlyer development team is looking to hire a C++ developer [0] to join the team. As a member of our dev team, you'll have opportunities to design and implement new modeling features, develop new visualization capabilities, provide insight on architectural design, and help bring new technologies to our project. This is a great position for someone with a few years of C++ software development experience and wants to accelerate their career. We're a small, focused development team that solves a lot of interesting challenges, so there's a lot of opportunity to create impact and have career growth.
We're also looking to hire a UI/UX designer [1] to lead us on a new path for envisioning a new user experience. You'll have the creative freedom to teach the team modern best practices for making sure that our users (again, rocket scientists!) love using our product to solve hard problems. You will be working hands-on with our users, including going on-site to NASA facilities to interview users and will be working directly with a front-end Javascript developer for designing new interface components.
In a few months we're going to be hiring for a Javascript developer as well as part of a big modernization effort. Although we don't have a position scoped out now, I'd love to hear from you if you're interested in working on a product like FreeFlyer!

Hope to hear from you!
