Why this grade
This listing scored 64/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

/ Cape Canaveral, FL| Software Engineer | Full-Time, Internship | Salary: $98k-$289k USD | https://www.stokespace.com
Company: At Stoke, we believe a thriving space economy will enable a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future here on Earth. That is why we’re building Nova, our fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle. Designed for daily flight, Nova tackles the core challenges of space transportation by reducing cost, increasing availability, and improving reliability. By radically lowering launch costs and increasing flight cadence, we’re helping create a truly scalable space industry.
Technologies: The team I'm on, Vehicle Software, makes a full in house control stack (firmware, flight computer, autonomy, ground support) in Rust. Data collected from our operations is served by a blazing fast front end written in Typescript, Svelte, and WASM, served by a Rust API. Our launch-day interface is in LabVIEW.
Roles: For full-time, we are currently hiring for a Rust-based controls engineer, a front-end engineer with experience in the stack above, and a strong software engineer with interest in working in both Rust and LabVIEW. We are also hiring software integration engineers in Kent and Moses Lake. On the intern side, we are currently looking for talented interns for our summer and fall 2027 classes (~14 week terms from March to September).
