About the Job
We are building foundational software for complex physical systems across new and existing production environments. This role sits at the boundary of software, automation, and system design, with room to define new abstractions rather than inherit old ones.
What You'll Do
Define and build core software primitives for machine-facing systems
Develop internal platforms, interfaces, or languages that simplify control, integration, and iteration
Support software that can span internal deployments, partner environments, and future international programs
Work across software, controls, and operations to turn messy workflows into durable systems
Explore opportunities to externalize parts of the work where it creates leverage
Required Qualifications
Significant experience building production software systems with strong technical taste
Fluency in system design, APIs, abstractions, and developer-facing tooling
Ability to create structure in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Comfort working across software, automation, hardware, and operations
Strong engineering judgment and a bias toward simple designs
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with compilers, interpreters, DSLs, IDLs, or related tooling
Experience in industrial, robotics, embedded, or machine-control environments
Experience supporting software across multiple facilities or external partners
Interest in open systems and extensible platforms
Experience leading technical direction for a small, high-output team
