Scientific Software Engineer II

Join us as our newest Scientific Software Engineer II and build the software behind the stars! Do you love writing code that matters? As a Scientific Software Engineer II, you'll design, build, and support the software that keeps an observatory running. That includes instrument integration, data pipelines, and day-to-day operations. You'll own your software components and work with limited supervision. You'll shape design decisions and make systems more reliable, secure, and automated. You'll also take part in on-call support, share your know-how with junior engineers, and work with a multidisciplinary team to deliver solutions that work in the real world.

What the Scientific Software Engineer II Does:

The Scientific Software Engineer II is a fully competent individual contributor. They independently design, build, test, and support software for observatory operations, instrument integration, and data pipelines. They work with limited supervision and own specific software components. They follow established standards for quality, security, and change control. They troubleshoot component-level issues, join on-call and incident response, and escalate complex problems. They also guide junior engineers and work with scientists, operations staff, and partners.
