About the role
- We're looking for an engineer whose strengths lean toward backend systems, platforms, distributed architectures, infrastructure, and reliability.
Responsibilities
- Build and scale the platform that ingests, processes, and visualizes our IoT data, integrating sensors and AI models.
- Design and evolve cloud architectures that support large-scale, distributed sensor networks.
- Develop and maintain APIs, services, and dashboards for internal teams and external clients.
- Partner closely with scientists, hardware engineers, product, and deployment teams to bring new capabilities into production.
- In particular, we want you to help the team build internal tools using AI-augmented development workflows, mentoring colleagues in safe, mature use of AI coding tools.
- Own systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, reliability, and improving cost efficiency.
- Build observability, reliability, and operational tooling that enables the platform to scale.
- Strong experience building backend systems, APIs, distributed systems, cloud platforms, and infrastructure.
- The Electric Plant Co. is building a new category of plant and tree intelligence.
Requirements
- 7-10 years of professional software engineering experience, with a demonstrated history of owning production systems end-to-end, regardless of title or years of experience.
- Experience designing and operating production systems with reliability, scalability, and maintainability in mind.
- Comfort working across the stack when needed, while bringing particular strength in backend and platform engineering.
- Not as a novelty - as how you work and how you'll help others work.
Nice to have
- Prior experience at a deep-tech or hardware-software company - physical AI, IoT, robotics, climate, life sciences.
- Wireless / LoRaWAN experience
- We're committed to ensuring that early contributors share meaningfully in the company's success.
- Full-time, in-person at our Presidio office in San Francisco
- Start date: ASAP
- Excited by IoT and embedded systems
- ideally some exposure to firmware or protocols like MQTT or LoRaWAN.
- Startup velocity and judgment about what to skip - you ship the right version for the moment.
Skills
- Golang, Postgres, Linux on GCP.
- React on the frontend.
- C and MicroPython for firmware.
- LoRaWAN, MQTT, and other IoT protocols on the edge.
Benefits
- Our IoT hardware measures the hidden electrical signals in plants and trees, paired with environmental data, and our foundation model decodes those signals into real-time insights about plant health, growth, and stress.
- Standard benefits
Company info
- Use AI-assisted development tools as a core part of your workflow to increase engineering leverage and velocity.
- We are hiring a Founding Software Engineer to own the software platform that turns our foundation model and IoT hardware into a usable product.
