Job Description

AX-Futures | AstroNetix
Location: Remote
Employment Type: Full-Time
Clearance: Not required
Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship required

About AX-Futures

AX-Futures is an AstroNetix specialized solutions offering focused on building the next generation of software, tools, and mission-focused digital products for defense, space, and emerging technology environments.

We are not building software for software's sake. We build tools that help operators, program teams, and technical leaders move faster, see clearer, and solve real mission problems before they become operational gaps.

Position Overview

AstroNetix is seeking a Junior Software Developer to support AX-Futures software development efforts. This role is ideal for an early-career developer who wants to grow fast, work on meaningful projects, and contribute to tools used in defense, space, training, operations, and business modernization.

You do not need a clearance for this position, but you must be a U.S. Citizen due to the nature of future defense-related work.

The right candidate is hungry, coachable, technically curious, and comfortable figuring things out without needing every answer handed to them. We are a small team, so this is not a “hide in the corner and write code” role. You will contribute, learn, ask questions, and help us build useful things.

Responsibilities

  • Support development of internal and client-facing software tools
  • Assist with front-end, back-end, database, and automation tasks
  • Build, test, debug, and improve web-based applications
  • Help translate user needs into simple, functional software solutions
  • Collaborate with operators, engineers, and business leads to understand requirements
  • Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code
  • Participate in code reviews and technical planning discussions
  • Troubleshoot bugs and support continuous improvement of existing tools
  • Learn and apply modern software development practices, including version control, issue tracking, and secure coding basics

Required Qualifications

  • U.S. Citizenship
  • Foundational software development experience through work, school, bootcamp, military experience, projects, or self-study
  • Basic understanding of web development concepts
  • Experience with at least one programming language such as:
    • JavaScript / TypeScript
    • Python
    • Java
    • C#
    • Go
  • Familiarity with HTML, CSS, APIs, or databases
  • Ability to use Git or willingness to learn quickly
  • Strong problem-solving skills
  • Good communication skills in a remote work environment
  • Ability to take feedback, learn quickly, and operate with professionalism

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with React, Next.js, Node.js, Django, Flask, FastAPI, or similar frameworks
  • Familiarity with SQL or NoSQL databases
  • Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
  • Interest in defense, space, ISR, command and control, cybersecurity, automation, AI-enabled tools, or mission systems
  • Prior military service, veteran status, military spouse, ROTC, SkillBridge, or defense community experience
  • Experience building personal projects, GitHub repositories, websites, automations, dashboards, or apps
  • Basic understanding of secure software development practices
  • Willingness to support future cleared work if eligible

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who:

  • Learns fast and asks smart questions
  • Can take a rough idea and help turn it into working software
  • Is comfortable working in a small, fast-moving company
  • Cares about the mission and the people using the tools
  • Wants mentorship, responsibility, and room to grow
  • Has humility, initiative, and technical grit

Translation: we do not need a wizard. We need someone who can become dangerous with the right guidance.

Compensation

Compensation will be based on experience, skills, and role fit.

Benefits (Full-Time)

AstroNetix offers a growing benefits package, including:

  • Remote work
  • Health, dental, and vision options
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Growth opportunities across AstroNetix, AX-Futures, and future mission programs

Equal Opportunity Statement

AstroNetix is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to building a team that reflects discipline, professionalism, mission focus, and respect. Veterans, military spouses, and candidates from non-traditional technical backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Application Instructions

Please submit your resume and, if available, include links to GitHub, portfolio projects, websites, apps, dashboards, or other examples of your work.
