Sofar Ocean
Lead Software Engineer
Sofar Ocean, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
About The PositionYou will be a key contributor to front-end and back-end engineering on cloud software systems on our “Fleet” team, which is a highly cross-functional team that designs our sensing systems and the cloud applications that connect them. You’ll work alongside other software engineers and collaborate directly with hardware and firmware engineers to build features in applications (e.g.
demo.sofarocean.com ) and APIs (e.g.
docs.sofarocean.com ) that interact with our hardware products: Spotter, Smart Mooring, next generation platforms and Sofar’s new open hardware connectivity stack - Bristlemouth
https://www.bristlemouth.org . You thrive in small and collaborative multidisciplinary teams, and are eager to pitch in to debug and solve gnarly issues (even when it's
obviously
a hardware problem). You strive for the shared success of improving the health of our oceans and planet by shipping a cohesive, solid and impactful product. You’re a full-stack engineer who leans front end, with experience developing front-end and back-end elements of modern web applications.
Our tech stack includes React on the frontend with backend APIs written using Node.js, Typescript, Express, Postgres, and Nest.js, along with some data processing services written in Python. You will own features across the stack and should be comfortable architecting solutions from data storage layer to UIs.
About You
Passionate about building a product with a positive impact on the world
5+ years experience of professional software development experience
Significant professional experience with modern Typescript, Node JS, and AWS
Demonstrated experience designing & building high-availability HTTP APIs, high throughput backend services, including knowledge of CDNs, authentication & authorization protocols
Willing to learn new tools, languages, and patterns as needed to build a great product
A strong communicator who enjoys collaborating with other engineers, designers, PMs, and scientists
A considerate technical leader who will mentor junior engineers through design sessions, code reviews, and team meetings
Excited to be part of a small but growing startup team
Estimated Salary Range
$165,000 - $180,000
The range listed is what we reasonably expect to pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range and may be modified in the future. Actual compensation packages are based on several factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, experience, and equity package.
Sofar's Commitment to Climate JusticeWe at Sofar Ocean acknowledge that careers in the marine sciences have traditionally been, and remain, non-diverse work environments, thereby limiting the entry and prosperity of underrepresented groups in the space. Many of these same groups are disproportionately affected by climate change and are often excluded from decision-making that directly address their interests and needs.
We are committed to addressing these climate injustices and highly encourage people who identify as women, LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) to apply.
