Job OverviewAs a Software Engineer/Senior Software Engineer, you will be a core member of the Software team, building the systems that run Heron Power from the full-scale Build platform that powers our factory floor and supply chain to the internal tools, services, and data infrastructure our engineers and operators depend on every day. You will build software across the stack: backend services, data pipelines, developer tooling, and the cloud and deployment infrastructure underneath them.
This is a hands-on role. You will write production code and design systems that scale from early production into volume manufacturing. Depending on your level, you will own features and services end-to-end and, as a Senior Engineer, take on larger, more ambiguous problems, contribute to architecture, and help raise the engineering bar through code review and mentorship.
You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with hardware, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams, translating real-world requirements into systems that perform. Your impact grows through the quality of what you ship, the technical judgment you bring, and how you help the engineers around you.
What You Will BringWe prioritize a strong grip on first principles, solid technical range, and the judgment to know what to build, what to buy, and what to leave alone.
Must-Have Requirements- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent demonstrated experience will be considered.
- 2+ years of professional software engineering experience for the Software Engineer level, or 5+ years including ownership of production systems for the Senior level.
- Experience building and operating backend services in production, with solid fundamentals in data modeling, APIs, and system design.
- Strong proficiency in one or more modern languages (e.g., Go, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript) and comfort moving across the stack.
- Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent) and containers; familiarity with Kubernetes.
- Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling that let teams ship reliably
- Working grasp of observability, security, and operational best practices, monitoring, alerting, access controls, and secrets management.
- Strong written and verbal communication; able to collaborate across teams and drive technical decisions.
- A track record of delivering projects end-to-end; for Senior candidates, a track record of leading ambiguous, cross-functional projects and mentoring other engineers.
Nice-to-Haves- Experience building software for manufacturing, supply chain, hardware, or other physical-world operations (MES, WMS, ERP, factory or industrial systems).
- Experience standing up platforms or internal tooling from greenfield at a fast-growing startup.
- Familiarity with relational databases and SQL, and with designing data pipelines and warehousing.
- Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or real-time / telemetry data.
- Strong comfort with Linux, Git workflows, and command-line tooling.
- Prior experience integrating third-party SaaS systems and making build-versus-buy decisions.
If you are passionate about technology and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you. Join us in accelerating the electrification of everything at Heron Power.
