About the role
Configuration Manager
Meet Slingshot
At Slingshot Aerospace, we're on a mission to make space safer and more secure for everyone. Our work directly impacts global security, disaster response, climate monitoring, and the critical infrastructure that connects our world. We're a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who believe the next generation of space operations will be powered by better data, smarter software, and disciplined execution.
We move fast, we're not afraid to fail, and we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere—whether you're in engineering, product, security, operations, or program management. As we continue scaling our work across U.S. government and Space Force programs, we're building the systems, processes, and technical rigor needed to operate as a trusted long-term defense partner.
If you want to help shape how a fast-moving aerospace company matures its engineering and program execution practices without losing its startup energy, you're in the right place.
What You'll Be Launching
As Slingshot's Configuration Manager, you will help build our configuration management function from the ground up. This is Slingshot's main dedicated Configuration Manager role, which means you will have the opportunity to define the playbook, stand up the processes, and help shape how configuration control scales across our programs.
You will start by supporting a priority government program, with the expectation that the role expands over time into a broader enterprise configuration management function. You'll work across Engineering, Program Management, Product, DevSecOps, and Security/GRC to bring consistency, traceability, and discipline to how we identify, baseline, approve, document, and manage changes across software, infrastructure, cloud environments, DevSecOps pipelines, documentation, and program artifacts.
This role is not just about process for the sake of process. It is about helping Slingshot move fast in a way that is repeatable, auditable, secure, and ready for the expectations of DoD, Space Force, CUI, classified, and ATO-bound environments.
