Job description

Software Engineer - Internal Platforms & Tooling

The ePlane Company is at the forefront of India's urban air mobility revolution. Incubated at IIT Madras, we are a deep-tech startup dedicated to designing and building the world's most compact electric flying taxi. Our mission is to make door-to-door flying a reality, drastically reducing commute times and decongesting our cities for a cleaner, greener future. We're a passionate team of engineers, designers, and visionaries working on cutting-edge technology, and we're looking for brilliant minds to help us take flight.

Chart the Course for the Future of Flight

We are looking for a software developer where you will develop, build, and maintain the internal platform services that empower engineers across the organization to work more efficiently. As part of this role, you will work on internal engineering tools and other tools that enable operations for the next generation of mobility while working on accelerating the development and deployment of novel engineering tools for which you will play a crucial role in the development, testing, and deployment of these tools working in partnership with our internal Machine Learning, Optimization, and Simulation teams.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Build, scale, and maintain high-performance internal platform services and engineering tools that empower cross-functional teams to work more efficiently.
• Develop Software that can solve messy problems at the intersection of low latency and high correctness
• Create prototypes and production-ready tools to support rapid experimentation and internal operations.
• Contribute to the design of new features and system enhancements from conceptualization to end deployment
• Develop algorithms solving problems relating to engineering simulations, fleet management, and internal tooling
• Develop robust deployment pipelines and packaging solutions to operationalize work from Machine Learning, Optimization, and Simulation teams.
• Diagnose and resolve critical technical issues and system bottlenecks, identifying root causes
• Be a part of code reviews and provide feedback to ensure best practices
