By combining high-performance materials, precision aerodynamics, and mission-driven autonomy, Inversion is transforming reentry into an operational capability for an entirely new class of missions.\nThe company’s highly maneuverable reentry spacecraft, Arc, is designed for rapid global cargo delivery, hypersonic testing, and other national security missions that require precise, controlled flight through the atmosphere. Arc creates an entirely new transportation domain, unlocking unprecedented speed and global reach.\nHeadquartered in Los Angeles, Inversion designs, manufactures, and integrates its spacecraft under one roof, enabling the company to move rapidly from concept to flight.

Extra points if this was for Aerospace!\nExperience integrating AI-enabled capabilities or interfaces into internal software products.\nFamiliarity with databases, data modeling, and the tradeoffs between different storage approaches.\nFamiliarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or modern deployment workflows.\nPrior experience in a small team or startup environment where you were expected to take ownership and execute independently.\nOur office headquarters is located in Playa Vista, CA. This position requires in office presence.\nThe California annual base salary for this role is currently $101,000 - $160,000.
