About the role

  • We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who wants real ownership in a fast-moving environment.
  • You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the people using the software every day-manufacturing technicians, logistics coordinators, quality inspectors, and finance.
  • There's no product manager between you and them.

Responsibilities

  • Senior engineers here build trust by shipping early and expanding their scope through demonstrated ownership.
  • You'll build context by doing real work that ships.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Comfort with cloud infrastructure and modern DevOps practices
  • Experience owning production systems in environments that evolve quickly
  • That's not aspirational-it's required.
  • Additional information may be requested so as to determine whether export authorization is required from the Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.
  • If authorization is required, employment will be contingent upon the Company successfully obtaining such authorization from the relevant government agency.

Skills

  • Set up your environment and start committing code within your first day or two
  • Learn existing systems by improving them, not by watching from the sidelines
  • Fix bugs, tighten rough edges, and ship small enhancements to production
  • Participate in deployments, debugging, and operational workflows
  • Use AI tools from the start to understand the codebase and accelerate contributions
  • Ask questions, propose improvements, and engage in technical decisions
  • Make architectural decisions with an eye toward reliability, operability, and future change
  • Work directly with operators and stakeholders-often non-engineers-to refine solutions

Compensation

  • Salary $150,000 - $180,000 per year
  • Urban Sky is required to post this salary range per Colorado law.
  • Your salary will be determined based on your abilities and experience.
  • $150,000 - $180,000 USD

Benefits

  • Medical, Vision and Dental
  • Unlimited Vacation Days
  • Cell Phone Bill Stipend

Company info
