About the role

These systems open the door to new ways of testing, delivering, and operating at hypersonic speeds.
Inherently dual-use, our technology is built to meet urgent national security needs while laying the groundwork for future commercial applications.
You will contribute to the development of internal applications across the stack, from intuitive user interfaces to backend services and integrations.

As a Full Stack Engineer II at Inversion, you will build the internal software tools that help our engineering teams innovate, make better decisions, and operate more effectively.
This role is cross-functional and ambiguous by design: you will work closely with technical users, take ownership of scoped problems, and help shape what high-quality internal tools should look like at Inversion.
Design, build, and maintain internal web applications and tooling that support engineering workflows across the company.
Contribute to the end-to-end lifecycle of internal tools, including problem definition, technical design, implementation, testing, deployment, and long-term maintenance.
Build intuitive user interfaces and workflows for technical users, with a strong focus on usability, clarity, and speed.
Develop backend services, APIs, and integrations that support internal dashboards, documentation systems, data review tools, and AI-enabled workflows.
Partner closely with engineers and other technical stakeholders to identify pain points, gather requirements, and translate loosely defined needs into practical internal products.

Strong front-end development experience with TypeScript/Javascript and frameworks like React
Familiarity with Linux development environments and basic CI/CD workflows.
Experience integrating AI-enabled capabilities or interfaces into internal software products.
Familiarity with databases, data modeling, and the tradeoffs between different storage approaches.
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or modern deployment workflows.
Prior experience in a small team or startup environment where you were expected to take ownership and execute independently.
Experience building internal tools for engineering teams, such as dashboards, test and data review tools, documentation systems, or workflow automation. Extra points if this was for Aerospace!

The California annual base salary for this role is currently $101,000 - $160,000.
