Senior Platform Software Engineer

Senior Platform Software EngineerHypercraft is developing a new generation of electric Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) for defense and commercial applications. Supporting those vehicles is Carbon, Hypercraft's Software Defined Vehicle ecosystem. Carbon is the engineering platform behind every Hypercraft vehicle. It provides the tools, services, deployment infrastructure, diagnostics, and application framework that allow vehicles to be configured, monitored, updated, and continuously improved throughout their lifecycle. We're looking for an experienced software engineer to help build the platform that engineers, operators, and customers use every day.About the RoleWe're looking for a software engineer who enjoys building products rather than business applications. You'll help develop Carbon, the engineering platform that enables faster vehicle development, simpler deployment, better diagnostics, and easier integration across the Hypercraft ecosystem. You'll work closely with embedded, electrical, mechanical, controls, manufacturing, and mission engineering teams to develop software that directly supports real vehicles operating in demanding environments.What You'll BuildCarbon desktop, web, and edge applicationsVehicle configuration, deployment, and management toolsFleet management, diagnostics, and logging systemsPlatform services, APIs, and developer toolingSoftware that powers engineering workflows across every Hypercraft vehicleResponsibilitiesDesign and develop desktop, web, and edge applications that support vehicle development, deployment, and operations.Build platform services, APIs, and tools for vehicle configuration, diagnostics, logging, fleet management, and software deployment.Develop software that runs both on engineering workstations and on embedded Linux vehicle platforms.Improve software architecture, developer workflows, deployment pipelines, and engineering productivity.Support prototype development, field testing, and customer deployments.Collaborate with embedded, controls, electrical, mechanical, and mission engineering teams to build tools that enable the entire vehicle platform.What We're Looking ForMinimum QualificationsBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related discipline8+ years developing production softwareStrong object-oriented programming skillsExperience designing software architectureStrong debugging and problem-solving skillsExperience working across multidisciplinary engineering teamsExperience in Several of These AreasRustTypeScriptReactPythonGoPostgreSQLDockerREST APIsProtobuf /gRPCDistributed systemsLinuxCI/CDCloud platformsNo candidate is expected to have experience in every area.Backgrounds That Translate WellEngineering softwareRoboticsAutomotiveIndustrial automationDefenseDeveloper platformsFleet managementCloud platformsYou'll Probably Enjoy This Role If...You enjoy building software platforms.You like simplifying complex engineering workflows.You think about software architecture.You enjoy building products that other engineers depend on.You like working closely with hardware engineers.You care about usability just as much as technical implementation.Why HypercraftMost software engineers build internal tools or business applications. At Hypercraft, you'll build software that directly supports vehicle development. Every improvement you make helps engineers build vehicles faster, integrate new capabilities more easily, and deploy software more reliably.
