On Wednesday, the Washington-based space company Blue Origin posted a job opening for a position titled "Blue Ring Senior Program Manager." However, the posting to the company's Workday "Careers" page was taken down less than 24 hours later—perhaps because it contained details about an advanced program the company does not yet want to discuss publicly.
Asked about the short-lived post, a Blue Origin spokesperson told Ars on Friday that, "We’re updating the job requisition for this position."
For now, the job posting remains live on LinkedIn. Although the requisition is now listed as "no longer accepting applications," details about the job remain online. Intriguingly, the job posting states, "As the Program Manager, you will lead the development, manufacturing, and operations of a multi-mission, multi-orbit platform."
