Los Angeles, United States Arc Boat Company Full time
What we're building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas boats dominate today's marine industry not because of great product offerings but because of a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s: unreliable, expensive, loud, noxious, and a nightmare to own and operate. They're also awful for the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way: not only are they far more reliable and less costly to operate, but they're also quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they've been held back by both the technology and the talent to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That's Arc's opportunity.

Using modern, aerospace- and automotive-inspired techniques, we're building our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and willing to learn on the job. We pride ourselves on transparency and operate in a lean, high-trust environment that encourages everyone to take ownership over their domain.

You will be a full-time member of our Software Engineering team and will work from our manufacturing facility in Torrance, CA. Given that we're a startup, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.

Requirements

Core responsibilities
  • Designing, developing, and maintaining robust backend systems powering our boat infotainment systems and mobile app
  • Building and optimizing data pipelines for ingesting, processing, and visualizing boat telemetry data
  • Developing internal tools to improve our manufacturing processes
  • Managing cloud resources and infrastructure
  • Identifying opportunities to use software to accelerate the company's trajectory
Basic qualifications
  • At least 5 years of industry experience with expertise in at least one backend programming language (e.g., Typescript, Python, Java, Go, Rust)
  • Experience overseeing technical projects, including communicating with stakeholders, prioritizing high ROI features, driving towards a technical vision, and delegating workscope
  • Proficiency with at least one cloud platform (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP) and DevOps best practices
  • Deep understanding of API design and microservices architecture
  • Demonstrated ability to optimize backend systems for performance, cost, and scale
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Excellent grasp of the fundamentals of software engineering and passion for developing high quality, maintainable software
Bonus qualifications
  • Experience with Amazon Web Services
  • Familiarity with data processing and analytics tools (e.g. BigQuery, Apache Spark, Kafka)
  • Experience with an Infrastructure as Code framework such as Terraform
  • Experience with real-time data processing and IoT systems
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes and tools such as manufacturing execution systems (MESs)
  • Experience with machine learning and predictive analytics
  • Comfortable in a fast paced and dynamic environment
  • Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy
At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You're always welcome to reach out even if you don't meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.

Benefits

What we value

We value these five things above all else:
  • Ownership over both your work and the company's success
  • Empathy for colleagues and for customers
  • Humility in problem solving and collaboration
  • Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
  • Diversity of background, opinion, culture, etc.
Given that we work in a sometimes intense or stressful environment, it's vital that our values align. We'd be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.

What you'll get
  • Talented teammates that challenge you to be better
  • Access and often input to a wide range of business activities
  • A salary between $160,000 and $220,000
  • An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
  • The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
  • Nearly free health insurance (we cover 99%) and a 401k
  • Generous parental leave
  • Daily lunches, plenty of snacks, lots of swag, and more
  • Boat rides


Hope to hear from you soon
