WHY JOIN OUR CREW?
Bright Ascension is all about people and we want the best for our team.
Employee-owned
Being employee-owned, we give everyone a stake in the company. This ensures your voice and ideas are always heard. At Bright Ascension, you are never just another cog in the machine.
Work/life balance
In the modern world, you need to make your job work around your life. To make it happen, we offer a range of benefits, such as flexible working arrangements and 36 days of holiday a year.
Exciting industry
Working in the space industry certainly comes with bragging rights – it is one of the most innovative and exciting sectors. Small companies often feature in large multi-national projects, and you are highly likely to see your software flying on a European Space Agency (ESA) mission.
Location
Our largest office is in Edinburgh with a breath-taking view of the Edinburgh Castle right outside our windows. Not many companies can boast such a stunning and central location.
