About the role
This is a junior software engineering seat on Urban Sky’s IT team. Most of the day is IT operations work: supporting employees, running the ticket queue, onboarding and offboarding, administering Microsoft 365, imaging devices, implementing CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171 controls. Alongside that, you will write the automations, scripts, dashboards, and internal tools that let a small IT team support an aerospace company launching to the stratosphere every day. The more you automate, the more of your time goes to engineering.

IT works with every team in the company, from firmware engineers and mission control to atmospheric scientists and the manufacturing floor. You will know the whole company inside six months.

We expect this role to change as you do. Plan on one to three years of getting good at the work and learning how the company runs. After that, you can take on more of the internal tools and automation, or move to another engineering team such as flight software, mission control, data pipelines, or embedded firmware.

Day One Responsibilities

Provide Tier 1 and Tier 2 IT support for employees, troubleshooting hardware, software, and connectivity issues across a mixed Windows and macOS fleet

Own the daily ticket queue

Run employee onboarding and offboarding: device setup, account provisioning, access management, device recovery

Administer Microsoft 365: identity, licensing, mailboxes, SharePoint, Teams

Track, tag, and reconcile IT assets, including spares

Learn the compliance frameworks Urban Sky operates under (CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171) and contribute to control implementation and evidence collection

Begin writing the automations, scripts, and internal tools that scale the IT team: onboarding workflows, access provisioning, M365 scripting, asset tracking

Document procedures, fixes,



and known issues so what the team knows is written down and doesn’t depend on any one person

Responsibilities You Will Develop Into

Taking increasing ownership of the internal web apps and automations that run employee onboarding, access management, and compliance evidence collection

Building and extending the dashboards and reporting that give the business visibility into IT, access, and compliance state

Scripting CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171 evidence collection so compliance keeps up as the company grows without adding people

Helping secure Urban Sky’s production AI agent deployments

Participating in the broader Software Engineering organization’s cross-team tooling and APIs

Moving into a specialized engineering seat elsewhere in the company as you find the work that fits you

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent demonstrated engineering ability

Nice‑to‑Haves / Preferred Skills

Internship, co‑op, or project experience in software engineering, DevOps, platform engineering, IT, or security

Exposure to Microsoft 365 administration or scripting against the Graph API

Working fluency in a modern language and framework (TypeScript / Node / React, Python, Go, or similar)

Familiarity with security frameworks such as CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, SOC 2, or ISO 27001

Interest in AI tools, agentic workflows, and the engineering practices that make them safe to deploy

Security‑related certifications (Security+, Network+, or equivalent)

Prior experience in a startup, aerospace, defense, or any environment where you had to learn fast and ship

Requirements
