Job description

Ndustrial has delivered $100M+ in energy savings for food producers, storage operators and retailers across the cold chain. Our Nsight™ platform integrates existing systems to turn energy into a measurable production input. It deploys in weeks and verifies savings in real time, without disrupting operations. Trusted by industry leaders like Lineage, Americold and ABB, we're revolutionizing the way the cold chain uses energy for a more sustainable future.

We are a Raleigh, NC based Series B startup backed by world class investors and serve global customers in energy-intensive sectors like cold storage, logistics, and manufacturing.

We live by our values: Teamwork, Customer First, Quality, and Curiosity. Founded by experts in Silicon Valley innovation, industrial engineering, and computer science. With a team of forward-thinkers and problem-solvers, we're driving the digital transformation of industries globally.

Ndustrial builds software that helps the world's largest food, cold chain, and industrial operators understand and control their energy in real time.

If you want your work to make real change, this is the place.

Responsibilities

• Take designs and loosely-defined problems and drive them to shipped features — defining scope, surfacing the right questions, and deciding what to build when the answer isn't obvious
• Lead the team through key technical and architectural decisions, building alignment and making the call when one is needed
• Build and maintain customer-facing features end-to-end across the UI, APIs, backend services, and data models
• Design and evolve database schemas and data models that support our multi-tenant Nsight platform
• Develop scalable, secure APIs that power both traditional application experiences and AI-driven product capabilities
• Partner with Product, UX, and Data to translate user needs and designs into technical solutions and intelligent product experiences — contributing your own point of view, not just executing
• Use AI-assisted tools and workflows as a core part of how you design, build, test, document, and operate software
• Speak up in planning, design, and code reviews — raise concerns early, challenge assumptions, and help set the bar for AI-assisted engineering practices
• Evaluate, prototype, and implement AI-powered features and workflows that deliver measurable value to customers
• Build internal AI tools, agents, and automations that improve engineering and business operations
• Identify and resolve production issues using both traditional debugging and AI-assisted analysis
• Stay current on advancements in AI engineering and developer tooling, and actively push the org to adopt best-in-class practices
• Mentor teammates and raise the overall effectiveness of the engineering organization

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software development experience, with a BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related experience, preferably in a startup environment
• Track record of taking ambiguous problems or designs and independently deciding what and how to build
• Works well from a design, and comfortable using AI tools (Claude or similar) to generate wireframes and mockups, then translate them into polished, production-ready interfaces
• A clear, outspoken communicator who can articulate a technical position, build consensus, and lead a team through a decision
• Strong frontend experience with React and TypeScript
• Strong API design experience with REST or GraphQL, including API security (OAuth 2.0 a plus)
• Solid experience with relational databases and schema design, ideally PostgreSQL (SQL)
• Demonstrated use of modern AI development tools as a core part of daily engineering workflows
• Experience in an AI-first development environment — prompt-driven development, AI-assisted testing, code generation, leveraging and creating AI agents, debugging, and documentation
• Comfortable full-stack, moving fluidly across the frontend, API, and data layers
• Backend experience in one or more of: Node.js, TypeScript, Python, Java, Kotlin
• Strong product mindset, balancing technical excellence, speed, and customer value
• Ability to work a hybrid schedule in our downtown Raleigh office

Nice to have

• Experience with operational and deployment tooling such as Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Experience with backend stream processing and event-driven architectures (Pulsar, Kafka, or similar)
• Experience integrating LLMs, AI services, or agent-based workflows into production applications or internal platforms

Benefits

• Flexible PTO Policy
• Outstanding Benefits: Medical, Dental and Vision, STD, LTD, Life, AD&D insurance employee premiums fully covered
• Annual professional development stipend ($500/year)
• Commuter benefit
• Hey Taco! Peer Recognition Rewards
• 401K contribution program
