> Senior full-stack engineer building scalable AI-powered platforms for environmental conservation, maritime awareness (Skylight), and Earth observation (OlmoEarth). Requires 5+ years shipping production ML-integrated systems end-to-end with strong ownership of web, data, and distributed infrastructure.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Build and ship high-quality, scalable full-stack products that integrate state-of-the-art ML models.
- Work as a generalist software engineer across web applications, data pipelines, distributed systems, and modern cloud tooling.
- Take software products end-to-end: shape requirements, design architecture, ship to external users, and iterate based on user feedback.
- Own production systems, including on-call rotations, troubleshooting issues, and analyzing logs, metrics, and code.
- Use modern AI tooling (e.g. Claude Code, agentic workflows) to accelerate engineering.
- Collaborate closely with ML research, Product, and Partnerships teams; travel to meet users.
- Contribute to projects such as the OlmoEarth platform for automated model development (handling large-scale GPU jobs on satellite imagery) and multi-tenant agent-orchestration platforms for AI products like Shippy.

## Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience in industry (internships, graduate school, and research do not count toward this).
- Experience as a generalist across multiple parts of the stack and product lifecycle with strong foundations in web applications, data pipelines, distributed systems, and modern cloud tooling.
- Track record of taking software products end to end, including shaping requirements, architecture, shipping, and iterating on user feedback.
- Ownership of production systems, on-call, troubleshooting, and deriving insights from logs/metrics/code.
- Ability to write clear technical plans, give/receive feedback, prioritize, and guide stakeholders.
- Comfort using modern AI tooling to move faster.
- Strong interest in building technology for environmental conservation, food security, climate, and positive planetary impact.

## Preferred Qualifications
- Experience at small or growth-stage companies with end-to-end ownership.
- Hands-on experience integrating ML models into production (deployment, monitoring, scaling real-time inference); collaborating with researchers and building user-facing AI applications for non-technical users.
- Opinionated about software engineering practices (coding patterns, work breakdown, code review, testing, build systems) while remaining open to other views.
- Demonstrated technical depth and self-directed learning (e.g. open-source contributions, technical writing, conference talks, side projects).
- Open to occasional international travel to meet users.

## Compensation
Base salary range is $126,000 - $189,000 with generous bonus plans for a competitive package.
