This is the Maxar Way

Maxar creates custom software products for government organizations focused on enabling the workforce of the future.

Our products carry the Maxar brand out into the world—and the organizations who rely on our products want to know that we take extreme care and pay attention to detail in building their solutions. We deliver on this promise by hiring and cultivating true expertise.

Whether your calling is backend development, DevOps, frontend development or UI/UX design, Maxar supports professional specialization in the area of software development that you are most energized about pursuing as a career.

You Matter

Supporting our folks in the pursuit of becoming true experts in their craft also enables us to design and develop software products and features with a high degree of complexity, for instance leveraging machine learning, and artificial intelligence to streamline and automate user workflows.

Maxar provides modern user experiences through thoughtful user workflow and user interface design. And having a full roster of experts allows us to develop in much faster timelines.

Our Process

Maxar utilizes highly iterative Lean Agile and Design Thinking processes to rapidly design, develop and implement creative and innovative solutions. Our Design Thinking process facilitates comprehensive development of actionable requirements through frequent interaction between our design and development teams and all project stakeholders.
