Software Engineer
Neuron Industries (YC S26) · Torrance, CA · 1 wk ago
On-siteEngineering$140k–$210k/yrFull-time
About the role
You build the software ecosystem of the company: the development environment our customers live in, the data path from controller to cloud, and the infrastructure that keeps a growing fleet of industrial devices shipping, updating, and observable.
What you'll do
- Build the development environment our customers live in: editor, simulation, deployment flows, and the AI-assisted workflows that turn weeks of controls work into hours.
- Own the infrastructure: CI/CD with hardware-in-the-loop stages, the OTA update pipeline, release engineering, observability, fleet management for controllers in the field.
- Ship the data path, from the free local data viewer to the paid cloud and on-prem data lake: ingestion, storage, query, and visualization of high-rate industrial time series.
- Work truly full stack: a web server that runs on the controller itself, desktop tooling, cloud services. Pick boring, reliable technology at each layer.
- Design APIs that survive contact with real customers. Versioned, documented, stable while the product moves fast.
- Take features from vague ask to shipped and monitored, own them in production, and work AI-first day to day: agents in your editor, in CI, in code review.
What you'll bring
- Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, networking, and what the machine actually does with your code. You can chase a symptom down the stack.
- You've shipped and operated production software that real users depended on. You can tell us what broke and what you changed after.
- Fluent in TypeScript/React (or close) and at least one systems language (Rust, Go, C++, or serious Python). The stack runs from device to cloud and so will you.
- You test and instrument by default. "Works on my machine" isn't done.
- Product taste. You notice when a workflow has one screen too many, and you fix it without waiting for a ticket.
- Small team, no PM layer: you talk to customers and own outcomes. And you develop with AI daily, knowing where it compounds you and where it starts writing junk.
Nice to have
- Time-series data systems, industrial protocols, or other high-rate telemetry.
- You've built developer tools, IDEs, language tooling, or simulation environments.
- Enough embedded Linux to debug your code where it runs.
- LLM-powered features shipped to production.
Compensation
$140,000–$210,000 base, plus meaningful early equity. The range is wide on purpose: where you land depends on the depth of what you have shipped and operated in production.
Benefits
- Significant stock option packages
- 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (premium PPO and HMO options)
- Paid vacation, sick leave, and company holidays
- Free daily catered lunch and dinner
Location: Torrance, CA — on-site, five days a week.
