Generalist Software Engineer

About the role

We’re hiring generalist software engineers who can work across the company. This seat finds the gap, ships in days not weeks, and moves on. One week you might build a data pipeline; the next a hardware integration script, an internal tool, or a customer‑facing API.

Key responsibilities

• Detect the highest‑leverage gap each week—ingest, APIs, orchestration, field tools, hardware glue—and ship production‑quality code.
• Build backend services and APIs for the data platform and the customer‑facing product.
• Write processing and validation pipelines for incoming in‑the‑wild datasets.
• Script integrations between collection devices, cloud infrastructure, and software services.
• Design interfaces and developer workflows that the rest of the company actually uses.
• Work cross‑functionally with research, Shenzhen hardware, and ops without waiting for a spec.

Required profile

• Strong full‑stack skills; fluency in Python and at least one of TypeScript, React, Go, or C++.
• 1–5+ years shipping software end‑to‑end, ideally in a 0→1 or startup environment.
• Ability to ramp quickly in unfamiliar codebases and problem domains.
• Bias toward action and comfort with incomplete information.
• Experience shipping where the role was not clearly defined.
