About the role

Vast in Long Beach, CA seeks a Software Engineer, Mission Software, to join the design and build of software for artificial-gravity space stations. You will work with frontend and backend teams, APIs, and flight software interfaces, delivering tools that accelerate development across the SDLC in a rapidly growing company. Candidates have a CS or engineering degree and 2+ years in full‑stack development, with experience in Docker/Kubernetes, APIs, and modern frameworks.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
