Basically all space companies (oldspace, newspace) hire software folks. Some specific jobs might require PhDs, but most don't. Flight software sometimes has requirements for certain experience (e.g. Embedded). However, flight software is a surprisingly small sliver of all the space related software that gets written. Even though it's outer space they still need GUIs for ground systems, CRUD apps for handling downlinked data, WebGL people to build fancy visualizations, etc
