Full-Stack Software Engineer

About Subsense

The Opportunity

We're looking for a full-stack engineer who can build applications end to end and bring our software together into one cohesive system.

This is a broad, hands-on role. You'll develop user interfaces, write Python across the stack, and integrate the various tools, services, and components we rely on into a single, well-structured platform. If you like owning problems from front end to back end and enjoy being the person who makes the pieces work together, you'll like it here.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship applications and user interfaces across desktop, web, or mobile


• Develop and maintain backend services, APIs, and internal tooling in Python


• Integrate separate systems, services, and components into one unified, well-structured platform


• Build data pipelines and handle data flowing between our software and hardware


• Take features from concept through design, implementation, testing, and deployment


• Write tests and contribute to code quality, reliability, and performance across the stack


• Troubleshoot and resolve issues spanning the front end, back end, and integration layers


• Document systems and workflows so the codebase stays maintainable as we scale


• Partner with hardware, research, and product to turn early prototypes into usable software


• Help set engineering patterns, standards, and best practices as the team grows

What You'll Bring

• Strong Python and solid experience building full-stack applications


• Front-end and UI development experience


• Experience integrating multiple systems or services through APIs


• Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity in an early-stage environment


• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to partner across scientific, engineering, and business teams.


• Startup mindset — adaptable, resourceful, hands-on, and highly execution-focused.


• Location: Palo Alto, CA
