You build the real-time engine and services that make this possible.\n\nDesign and build the mission planning backend: plan generation, configuration, scenario planning and resource availability.\n\nBuild our software-in-the-loop (SITL) mission simulation environment: allowing scenarios to be realistically tested against battlefield environments before a missile has left the launcher.\n\nBuild the test harness and automation that run the product end to end against the simulation in CI, on every change.\n\nLead the design of the core data model and message schemas, working with our integration engineer to deploy authorized mission plans to real-world launch systems.\n\nWho you are\nA software engineer with 5+ years' experience building simulation, planning, decision support or real-time interactive software. You may come from an Aerospace, robotics, automotive, or gaming background.\nStrong in modern C++ or Rust. A good grasp of numerical methods and floating-point behavior.\nExperienced with simulation architecture: time-stepped or discrete-event simulation, software-in-the-loop, scenario management, deterministic replay.\nRigorous about testing: unit, property-based and scenario tests, and continuous integration.\nComfortable starting from a blank page. You can set up a codebase, choose tools, record decisions (for example in architecture decision records), and ship.\nYou use AI coding agents well and critically. You know when to trust their output, how to check it, and what not to hand over.\nWhat we offer\nA mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.\nDaily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.\nHigh ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.\nA fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.\nA culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.\nCompetitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2683,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["C4ISR","Space & Aerospace","Missiles"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T07:53:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":125,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hypersonica-senior-software-engineer-mission-planning","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hypersonica-senior-software-engineer-mission-planning.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T20:47:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3554,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678356},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678356"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-software-engineer-mission-planning"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-software-engineer-mission-planning"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-software-engineer-mission-planning"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hypersonica-senior-software-engineer-mission-planning\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-software-engineer-mission-planning"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3600020}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hypersonica.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3600020},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
