Software Engineer

Deep Sky is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to carbon removal by developing and operating direct air capture (DAC) facilities. Our state-of-the-art plant in Innisfail will play a crucial role in capturing CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, helping combat climate change on a global scale. Join us in this groundbreaking journey to achieve net-zero.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to be the hands-on owner of our Direct Air Capture (DAC) platform's user experience. You will use React/TypeScript and strong product intuition to design and deliver high-quality web applications for internal operations, compliance reporting, and critical external-facing dashboards used by carbon credit customers and the public.

Key Responsibilities

• Front-End Development & Product Design
• Design, develop, and maintain responsive web-based User Interfaces (UIs) and dashboards using React and TypeScript to visualize real-time sensor data, manage workflows, and facilitate data-driven control decisions.
• Apply a strong sense of design and product intuition to translate complex data and system status into intuitive, high-quality user experiences (UI/UX).

• System Integration & APIs
• Develop and implement APIs (e.g., REST) that connect the front-end control interfaces and data dashboards with the backend systems.
• Integrate test system software with the backend platform, ensuring effective communication for triggering tests and displaying results.

• Infrastructure & Data Awareness (Collaboration/Context)
• Collaborate with the infrastructure team on the CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment of front-end applications.
• Contribute to the design of systems that read, manage, and efficiently serve large datasets from sensors to the front-end for visualization and analysis.

• Data Collection & Management:
• Write software to manage and read data from sensors on prototype units, ensuring accurate and efficient data collection for analysis.

• Collaboration & Ownership:
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure seamless integration between software interfaces and physical system requirements.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to best practices for full-stack software development.
• Demonstrate extreme ownership of product outcomes, from UI usability to data accuracy.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer, electrical, robotics, aerospace engineering or computer science, mathematics, physics or other related STEM discipline.
• 3+ years of professional experience with modern front-end development, specifically React and TypeScript.
• Strong proficiency in designing and implementing APIs (REST) for system control and data access.
• Experience writing software for managing or reading time series data (e.g., in an industrial or testing environment) and automating workflows.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• A strong portfolio or demonstrated history of building user-centric technical applications that optimize complex data visualization or control workflows.
• Excellent understanding of UI/UX principles and a drive to own the design and usability of technical products.
• Modern backend data storage, processing techniques, and data pipeline architecture.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and software deployment concepts.

Additional Requirements

• Willing to work extended hours and weekends as necessary
• Some travel required

Be part of a mission-driven team focused on fighting climate change. Work with cutting-edge technology in a dynamic and innovative environment. Competitive compensation and benefits package. Opportunities for growth and professional development.
