Job description

About Lumaril

Lumaril is an industrial autonomy company that increases output at existing plants. Our platform connects to a facility's control systems, learns how the operation performs at its best, and continuously optimizes production for higher throughput, better yield, and more reliable operations.

We’re actively building a culture that fosters productive collaboration on difficult problems with real-world consequences. We’re early-stage, moving fast, and looking for people who thrive with high autonomy (and high ambiguity).

What You’ll Do

We’re looking for engineers to build, deploy, and extend the Lumaril platform.

This isn’t a traditional software engineer or forward deployed engineer role. You’ll wear both hats, working directly with customers to deliver a bespoke-quality platform, then bringing what you learn and deliver onsite back into the core product.

You’ll spend some days on the ground with our customers, which might mean traveling to a grain elevator, a plastics recycling facility, or a metal fabrication plant. A typical onsite day combines a defined goal—such as observing a workflow in practice or getting user feedback on a prototype—with serendipity.

Being onsite is how we learn what we need to build, test it in real-world conditions, and spot unexpected opportunities to bring value to our customers through casual conversations and unplanned encounters. The ideal candidate finds that exciting, not a tax to pay before you get back to coding.

Other days, you’ll be at the office figuring out what to do with what you learned onsite. You’ll combine making a short-term impact by building prototypes to validate hypotheses and deliver immediate results to customers, then maturing and integrating what works into our core platform.

We’re open to a broad range of experience levels, from junior engineers who are hungry to learn to senior engineers who bring deep expertise.

Who You Are

Requirements

• Comfort with agentic coding. You don’t need to have direct experience, but you need to be comfortable in an environment where we lean heavily on agentic coding.
• High agency. You identify what needs to happen, take initiative, and move forward without needing detailed direction.
• Ability to iterate. You can shift from starting small and scrappy to seeing what you ship through to becoming part of our core platform.
• Flexibility and adaptability. You’re open to feedback and you’re willing to shift direction when the facts change.
• Ability to travel 15-35%. Travel requirements vary by individual, and we’ll work with you to figure out a cadence that fits your personal needs, but you should be prepared to travel at least a few days per month.

Nice to have

• Experience in physical world environments (manufacturers, chemical producers, food and agricultural processors, etc.)

Details

• New York (Flatiron) or Los Angeles (El Segundo)
• Team colocation every six weeks

$175,000 - $300,000 a year

We expect to offer a base salary between $175,000 and $300,000, in New York and California. Final compensation will depend on experience and location, and includes an equity package and comprehensive benefits.

Benefits

• Daily lunch at the office
• Fully paid medical, dental, and vision for employees and families
• 401k through Betterment
