Founding Full Stack Engineer | Onsite San Francisco | US Citizenship Required | Defense Tech

Berkley Hunt is seeking a highly adaptable engineer to join one of our startup clients in San Francisco. This is a high-velocity, product-focused environment where you'll contribute across the stack and help shape the direction of mission-critical infrastructure that is deployed in real-world, high-impact environments. Ideal candidates are excited by hard technical problems, rapid shipping cycles, and the chance to work closely with a lean and ambitious core team.

Role Responsibilities:

• Build platform and infrastructure tooling that enables other software engineers to scale their output
• Work on building and integrating model/software/hardware-in-the-loop components by leveraging first and third-party technologies (related to simulation, data management, compute infrastructure, networking, and more)
• Collaborate with team members and partners to build technologies and processes that enable users to safely and rapidly develop and deploy autonomous systems at scale
• Deliver novel software capabilities directly to end users, ensuring rapid deployment in real-world settings

Requirements:

• At least 3+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Rust, Go, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc.
• Experience working with customers to deliver novel software capabilities
• Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CI/CD systems, etc.
• A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi-cluster cloud node
• Experience building scalable backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements
• Experience with industry standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), CI/CD tools, and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems)
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

Preferred Qualifications:

• You've built or invented something: an app, a website, game, startup
• Previous experience working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup-like environment), engineering school, etc. If you've succeeded in a low structure, high autonomy environment you'll succeed here!
• Experience implementing robot or autonomous vehicle testing frameworks in a software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) environment
• Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. NixOS, Terraform)
• Experience designing complex software systems, and iterating upon designs via a technical design review process
• Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices
• A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration
