About Stell

Stell helps engineers at hardware companies in heavily-regulated industries (Space, Aviation, Medical Devices) do documentation and tracking of technical contract compliance.
Stell’s key innovations are (1) a user-interface for building text-rich documentation while enabling the complex linking needed to describe hardware systems, and (2) secure collaboration on technical contracts, replacing email and PDFs for our customers and their customers.
Stell’s simple yet powerful interface makes collaboration across internal teams and external partners (like suppliers) fast - so you can supercharge your engineering projects

Design, develop, deploy, and maintain mission-critical, high-availability enterprise web applications.
Shape our technical future by collaborating with the CEO and Head of Engineering on roadmaps, architecture, and engineering best practices.
Develop and manage secure solutions for top-tier aerospace and defense clients within AWS GovCloud, ensuring FedRAMP compliance and NIST security standards.
Drive innovation by building proof-of-concept implementations to evaluate new technologies and design patterns.
Work across the full stack, from our databases and APIs to our client codebases and cloud infrastructure.

This may be a good fit if you have:

2-5

Bonus points if you have experience with:

Secure environments or an interest in learning about compliance frameworks.
Infrastructure as Code concepts or Terraform.
Docker and containerization basics.
Agile development methodologies in a startup environment.
