What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Application Administrator / Systems Engineer position at Inversion?
Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth
Who We Are
Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth.
What You’ll Do
The Application Administrator / Systems Engineer is responsible for the deployment, configuration, maintenance, and support of enterprise applications and cloud services. This role supports engineering, development, and manufacturing systems, including CAD/CAM platforms, development toolchains, and cloud-native infrastructure across government-compliant environments.
The California annual base salary for this role is currently $140,000 - $180,000. Pay Grades are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and internal equity.
