About Nominal
Nominal is building the software infrastructure powering the world’s most advanced hardware systems — from spacecraft and autonomous vehicles to next-generation industrial machines. Our platform ingests high-rate telemetry, validates complex autonomy software in real time, and enables engineers to iterate faster without sacrificing safety or precision. We’re a small, fast-moving team of engineers and operators who own problems end-to-end, work across disciplines, and thrive on challenges at the intersection of hardware and software.
As a dual-use platform, we serve top-tier commercial and defense customers, including the U.S. Navy, United States Air Force, Shield AI, and Anduril. We’re backed by Sequoia, General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Lightspeed Ventures. Our team draws experience from SpaceX, Palantir, Anduril, Applied Intuition, and other leading companies — united by a common mission: enabling hardware engineers to push the boundaries of advanced technology with speed, safety, and precision.
Join Nominal as a Full-Stack Engineer and help build a product that powers how hardware engineers interact and validate complex, high-volume telemetry. You’ll work across the stack, from scalable back-end services that can compute and transform telemetry data to complex, highly performant web interfaces. You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and infrastructure teams, shaping intuitive, reliable, and data-driven experiences from database to user interface. Ideal candidates have 3+ years of full-stack experience, an ability to reason through complex system architecture, a strong eye for intuitive UX for complex workflows, and a passion for turning technical challenges into seamless, impactful tools.
