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.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for AstroNetix LLC. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
