Software Engineer (Early Career, Exceptional Talent)
About The Position
This role is for an Early Career Software Engineer with exceptional talent. The engineer will be placed on one of four teams: Boomie (software platform for hardware design, buying, and building), Telemetry (streaming data for big data problems), Design & Analysis (tools for design engineers), or DevOps (infrastructure and compute management). The position emphasizes ownership, impact, and tackling challenging problems. It is not suitable for individuals seeking a highly structured development program or mentorship rotation. The role requires shipping code within the first week and a tool in daily use by the end of the first month, with AI integrated as a first-class part of the job.
Requirements
- A degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent evidence that you can build
- At least one thing you built and shipped that people other than you used: a club tool, an open source project, a lab pipeline, a personal system that runs your life. This is required, not a nice-to-have. School projects alone do not clear it
- An internship or co-op where you shipped something real
- Strong computing fundamentals and genuine curiosity about how things work all the way down
- A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it
- U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
- Eligible to access export-controlled information and technology as required by applicable U.S. export control laws.
Nice To Haves
- You want ownership, not guidance
- You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less
- You're comfortable not knowing the answer yet, and uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find it
- You'd rather watch a machinist fight a workflow for an hour than read a requirements document about it
Responsibilities
- Own a defined piece of your team's software, with real accountability for the outcome
- Sit with the engineers, technicians, and test crews who use your software, and build what they actually need
- Ship code your first week, and a tool in daily use by the end of your first month
- Work with AI as a first-class part of the job: agents as coding partners, and interfaces designed for agents as well as humans
- Iterate fast: figure out what's wrong, fix it, and move on to the next problem
Benefits
- long-term incentives/equity
- flexible PTO policy
- on-site meals
- gym access
