Senior Software Engineer, SkySpecs

• 5+ years in roles where you wrote, shipped, and operated production software
• Depth in at least one part of the stack and the range to work across the rest
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and systems-thinking
• Ability to independently drive work from requirements through delivery
• Good judgment around tradeoffs, architecture, and maintainability
• Strong written communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to work within a cross-functional team of technical and non-technical contributors
• Ability to work effectively across multiple layers of the stack
• Experience working with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows, and a track record of evolving how you use them
• Sound judgment when using AI tools, including reviewing and correcting agent-generated code
• What We Value:
• Own outcomes, not assignments
• Have strong opinions that are loosely held
• Operate autonomously and are self-accountable
• Create clarity from ambiguity
• Improve systems, not just features
• Take initiative in identifying and addressing risks, improvements, and opportunities that increase the impact of their work
• Continuously learn, adapt, and experiment with new technologies and ways of working

Desirable

• As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help shape the future of our Horizon platform and the way we build software
• Horizon is the platform behind SkySpecs' wind and solar inspection and asset-management business, and the work is hands-on building, end to end
• As the cost of producing code falls, an engineer's impact comes more than ever from judgment, design, and outcomes, not volume
• AI is central to how we work here, and we treat it as serious leverage: a force multiplier for engineers who already have strong instincts, not a substitute for them
• We expect everyone to keep pushing what AI, automation, and agents make possible, and to bring the judgment that makes that leverage pay off
• We do not separate thinking from doing
• Engineers are expected to understand the problems they are solving, formulate effective solutions, and participate directly in delivery by writing and owning production code
• The people closest to the work are expected to challenge assumptions, improve proposed approaches, and actively shape how outcomes are achieved
• This is a full-stack engineering role
• While engineers may develop areas of deeper expertise, we expect everyone to be capable of working across frontend, backend, infrastructure, data, and developer tooling as needed to deliver outcomes
• We value engineers who can understand the entire system, formulate end-to-end solutions, and contribute wherever the work requires
• Our platform is built using AWS, GitLab, Auth0, Grafana, Terraform, Kafka, Node.js, TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL, React, Ant Design, Vitest, Playwright, and PostgreSQL
• IN A GIVEN WEEK, YOU WILL:
• [15%] Work with product managers, customers, internal users, and other engineers to understand requirements, constraints, and desired outcomes
• [10%] Formulate solutions, evaluate tradeoffs, and break work into executable milestones and implementation plans
• [55%] Build and ship software. Examples include:
• Authoring and infrastructure as code
• Designing and implementing new services and APIs
• Building reusable user experiences and workflows
• Improving reliability, performance, security, and developer productivity
• Reviewing code generated by peers and by agents
• Leveraging AI tools and autonomous agents to accelerate delivery
• [20%] Improve Horizon, our engineering systems, and the way we work. Examples include:
• Building internal tooling and automation
• Improving documentation and architectural clarity
• Reducing operational toil
• Expanding AI and agent capabilities
• Improving testing, observability, and deployment workflows
• Exploring new ideas, experiments, and prototypes that could improve Horizon or the way we build software
• Success is measured by outcomes delivered, not lines of code written
