El Segundo, United States Picogrid Full time
Who we are

Picogrid envisions a future where every system, from the smallest sensors to next-generation fighter jets, can collaborate autonomously to create a safer and more prosperous world for all.

Today, we are at the forefront of American defense technology, developing a unified platform that integrates fragmented technologies—such as sensors, cameras, radar, and drones—into sophisticated mission systems.

Our technology is deployed globally, supporting customers including the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, CAL FIRE, PG&E, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and many others.

About this role:

Picogrid is looking for a Software Engineer who is passionate about advancing the state of the art in defense. As a foundational member of Picogrid's engineering team, you will work closely with our founders to define our core technology stack, engineering culture, and product roadmap.

The big engineering effort ahead of us is to build a system that's able to ingest, process, store, and serve data from millions of legacy and future defense systems in real time. This will require us to elegantly support billions of permutations of sensor hardware, alternative data sources, analytics/AI tools, and human-machine interfaces, all with a developer-first focus and military-grade reliability/security.

In this role:
  • You will raise the bar of the software in our industry and set a new paradigm for how autonomous systems are engineered

  • You will NOT get bored, working across diverse engineering problems and eventually shaping your role as an individual contributor or manager.

  • You will work alongside top machine learning, hardware, and software engineers.

Responsibilities
  • Work collaboratively with hardware, software, and product teams to develop features across the stack, from field-deployed embedded systems to cloud-based data pipelines, to React-based user interfaces

  • Experience developing with Typescript/Node.js, Python, and/or C/C++ is a huge plus

  • Proactively seek user feedback and obsess over user experience

  • Give and search for mentorship inside our team, your network, and our investors

Some types of experiences we're especially excited to see:
  • 2+ years building and deploying highly reliable software in production environments, especially fast-paced startups

  • Experience (or interest in) building climate tech, defense tech, or related fields

  • Experience building high-volume data pipelines

  • Experience with electronics and/or hardware-software systems

  • Open-source contributions or other projects

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience

Why join us?

Picogrid is a profitable, quickly growing company building hardware-software systems for public and private sector customers. We offer:

  • Stock options with a high upside (early stage)

  • Unlimited PTO and eleven paid holidays

  • Full Health Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)

  • Daily office-provided lunches and dinners

  • Remote-friendly work environment

  • A $300 per year learning stipend that can be used on Audible, Calm, Masterclass, Duolingo, and more

  • A one-time stipend of $500 to assist with expenses that come with setting up a home office

  • Unique office in El Segundo, CA, stocked with quality coffee, snacks, and craft beer

Our technical stack:
  • Typescript-heavy cloud data platform

  • React + Redux UI

  • C/C++ and Python edge compute services and device firmware

  • DynamoDB (NoSQL)

  • Jest test runner

  • Infrastructure: Built on AWS with microservice-based architecture. Containerized services deployed on ECS and EKS.
