Full Job Description
You are a good fit if...
  • You love the grind: You take ownership and put in the time to meet deadlines. Our recent team survey showed an average of 50 hours/week, with occasional 70+ hour bursts for major releases.
  • You are detail obsessed: You have experience writing code that stands up to the unpredictability of the physical world, where the small details are the difference between success and failure.
  • You are adapatable: We are a lean team. If you only want to work on a "niche thing" or are uncomfortable helping other teams when they need a boost, this isn't the place for you. We expect you to figure out what you need to get stuff done.
  • You code really well: We mostly use Python and TypeScript, but we don't care what you're most proficient in today-as long as you learn fast.


The Mission: Our technological lead is built on hardware that simply doesn't fail. You are responsible for ensuring our roadside systems-solar power generation, cell connectivity, and high-speed sensors-operate with 99.9% reliability in the harshest environments.
  • Hardening the System: Deep-dive into the reliability of our power systems and connectivity, ensuring our "secret sauce" remains insurmountable.
  • End-to-End Design: Own the development of schematics, PCBs, housing, and cabling solutions for next-generation hardware.
  • Manufacturing Evolution: Lead design iterations in CAD to improve the assembly yield and long-term serviceability of our devices.
  • Hardware-Software Synthesis: Write the code that lives on the edge. You understand the friction between a sensor's physical limitations and the software's requirements.

Our Technical Ecosystem: While we value problem-solving over specific syntax, skills that transfer well are:
  • Languages: Python, TypeScript, C/C++
  • Tools: Altium, Onshape, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers
  • Infrastructure: Linux, IoT Edge Devices, AWS
  • Specialties: Edge Computer Vision, CAD, weatherproofing, outdoor deployment, vertical product integration

The Essentials (Health & Wealth)
  • Relocation Support: We are excited for you to join the team at our engineering office in Denver. We value in-person collaboration and daily team lunches and we provide a relocation bonus to help you get here.
  • Personalized Health Coverage (ICHRA): We don't believe in one-size-fits-all healthcare. We provide a monthly allowance for you and dependents so you can choose the individual plan that actually fits your life.
  • Investing in Your Future: 401(k) matching up to 4%.
  • Peace of Mind: Transparent compensation. Company-sponsored life & disability insurance.
  • Early Stage Equity: Competitive equity package with 24-month exercise window. Every year, we facilitate a tender process that gives you the opportunity to sell your vested shares at the same valuation as our investors.

Rest & Recharge
  • High-Trust Time Off: 4 weeks of untracked PTO. We don't micromanage your calendar; we focus on your impact. Take the time you need to stay sharp and inspired.
  • Family First: 12 weeks of paid parental leave for birth and adoptive parents. We want you present for the moments that matter most.
  • The Deep Breath (Sabbatical): Every 5 years, take 12 weeks of fully paid leave. Go travel, write a book, or master a new hobby-then come back and tell us all about it.

Fuel & Community
  • The Blissway Kitchen: Whether it's breakfast to start your day or our daily group lunches, we keep the team fueled.
  • Snacks Autonomy: Our kitchen is fully stocked and we mean it-if we're missing your favorite fuel, just add it to the request list.
  • The "BlissTrip": An annual 3-4 day getaway for the team and significant others.
  • Monthly Beats: Game nights, escape rooms, and dinners to celebrate the grit we put in.
  • Continuous Learning: Tuition reimbursement for courses, programs, and conferences that sharpen your craft.
