What you'll do
  • Design and develop ground software used for mission preparation, execution, and monitoring of hypersonic systems.
  • Build robust, user facing applications for Linux and Windows environments that support operators and engineers during real missions.
  • Implement high performance C++ software with a focus on reliability, usability, and maintainability.
  • Develop intuitive user interfaces and workflows to visualise system state, mission data, and operational status.
  • Integrate ground software with simulation, test, and live system interfaces to support end to end operations.
  • Work closely with systems, GNC, test, and operations teams to translate mission needs into effective software tools.
  • Where useful, leverage UI frameworks (e.g. Qt) and mapping or visualisation SDKs to accelerate development.

    • Who you are
  • A software engineer with 3+ years’ experience building ground or operator-facing software in aerospace, defence, or complex technical domains.
  • Comfortable developing user-facing applications on Linux and Windows, with an understanding of operational reliability.
  • Fluent in modern C++, with an instinct for performance, robustness, and clean architecture.
  • Someone who cares deeply about operator experience, clarity, and usability in high-pressure environments.
  • Experienced translating mission and system needs into practical software tools, not just features.
  • Pragmatic about tooling, with exposure to UI frameworks such as Qt and an interest in visualisation or mapping technologies.
  • Able to move quickly in a startup environment, balancing polish with delivery speed.
  • Motivated by building software that operators trust during real missions, not demo-only systems.

    • What we offer
  • A 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.
  • Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.
  • High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.
  • A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.
  • A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.
  • Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.
    • At Hypersonica, every hire raises the bar. We are deliberately small, intensely capable, and deeply mission-driven.

We review every application and aim to respond to all candidates within two weeks, whether the answer is yes or no.
