We're a founder building the most important infrastructure humanity has ever attempted. We need people who think that's worth doing.
Let's be straight with you. We're pre-seed. There's no fancy office. There's no HR department. There's a founder, a big idea, and a stack of engineering problems that nobody has solved yet. If that sounds terrifying, this probably isn't for you.
But if it sounds exciting? If you've ever sat in a meeting at a big company and thought "we could move ten times faster if someone just let us build the thing," then you might be exactly who we're looking for.
This is the ground floor. The decisions we make in the next 18 months will shape the architecture of everything that comes after. Your fingerprints will be on systems that end up in orbit. Not in a "my code is on a server somewhere" way. In a "I designed the docking mechanism that spacecraft use" way.
We're based in Manchester, UK. The work is hard. The ambiguity is real. We don't always know the answer. But the people here will care more about this problem than any problem they've worked on before. That counts for a lot.
No busywork. Every task connects to something that's going to orbit eventually. You're not maintaining legacy code. You're inventing the thing.
Early team, real ownership. We're talking meaningful equity, not 0.01% on a five-year cliff. Your upside is directly tied to what we build together.
Core team is in Manchester, UK. Engineering roles can be remote. We care about what you build, not where your desk is.
In a team this small, there's nowhere to hide and nobody to blame. Your work is the product. That's a feature, not a bug.
Conferences, courses, papers, books. If it makes you better at your job, we'll find the budget. Even at this stage.
When we eventually fly hardware, you'll be there. Watching the thing you designed leave the planet. That's not a perk. That's the point.
These are our first hires. If your role isn't listed but you think you should be here, reach out anyway. The best early-stage teams are built by people who show up before the job description exists.
Don't see your role? We're building a company from scratch. If you have skills we need, we want to hear from you. Send us a note about what you'd bring and why this mission matters to you.
