The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build core software from scratch as one of the first engineers, working alongside hardware engineers with a high degree of autonomy. You will own problems end to end, including time spent on the production floor with operators, and make key technical decisions independently.
What you'll do
- Design and build new software systems from scratch across front end and back end.
- Own problems end to end and ship fixes informed by direct conversations with floor operators.
- Make significant product and architecture decisions independently, in partnership with hardware engineers.
- Move quickly from idea to production, focusing on the work that delivers the most value first.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- At least 2 years of experience releasing dependable, production-grade software at scale, with TypeScript on the front end and Python or Go on the back end.
- Experience designing complex data models and relational systems from the ground up.
- Comfort starting from a blank page rather than layering onto an existing tool.
- A strong record of well-crafted products that reached users.
- Ability to work without dedicated product, QA or design support and with minimal review cycles.
- High urgency, with the ability to set and meet aggressive timelines.
- Confidence to hold and defend opinions, and to persuade others and act rather than wait for direction.
- Grit, ambition and a genuine desire to work hands-on alongside operators.
