Job description

Aerovy is the operating layer for hardware OEMs. We take the signals coming off equipment in mobility, industrial, material handling, and construction, and normalize them into one model for assets, components, health, and events that holds across brands and model years.

With Aerovy, OEMs:

Launch an AI ecosystem for their hardware: branded apps a manufacturer puts in front of its own customers, from the app that comes with the machine to connected services and subscription tiers Elevate aftermarket service: the machine reports a fault, it's diagnosed, the right technician is dispatched with the right part, and the job is closed out and reported. First-time fix rates go up; time to acknowledgement and time to response come down Cut warranty cost and service spend: predictive failure detection, automated triage, and AI-driven root-cause across their install base

We're a fast-paced startup building the digital infrastructure for the next generation of intelligent hardware. Founded in 2023 as a spinoff of research from Purdue University, we've grown from 5 full-time workers at the end of 2025 to 13 today, with ARR up 4x+ over the same period. We're backed by institutional VCs from Mudita Venture Partners, M25, Quorum Capital Partners, Knoll Ventures, and Purdue Ventures, and angels from Google, Tesla, Intel, Siemens +more.

Job Summary

As a Senior Software Engineer at Aerovy, you’ll own features and core components of our cloud platform end to end, from design through launch, serving real-time applications across energy, IoT, telematics, and AI.

You’ll work on a modular extensible system that powers everything from EV fleets and battery platforms to industrial equipment and robotics. This is a hands-on, full-stack role where you set your own plan, make the design calls on the work you own, and raise the technical bar for the engineers around you.

If you're excited about building high performance production systems, solving hard problems at scale, and shipping real value in a fast-moving environment, we’d love to talk.

Responsibilities

Own features and components end to end, including the design. You set the plan and are trusted to execute it without review of the approach. Take requirements from product and customers and be accountable for delivery end-to-end, including when requirements change. Mentor earlier-career engineers through code review, design review, and pairing. Proactively identify technical debt, risks, and process improvements and drive them to resolution. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver business-critical features and services. Own the reliability, scalability, maintainability, and performance of critical production systems.

Job Requirements

At least 3 years experience contributing to a software engineering team, including owning multi-week to multi-month projects end-to-end. BS/MS/PhD in CS, scientific, engineering field or equivalent experience. Experience designing systems for scalability, reliability, operability, and maintainability, and shipping them to production. Clear communication in design docs and cross-functional discussions. Passion for finding and solving hard problems. Passion for learning and growing both technically and non-technically.

Nice to haves

Solid experience in Cloud/IaaC Infrastructure and Tooling preferably AWS (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, AWS Batch, DynamoDB, CloudFormation/CDK, etc.) Solid experience in Docker/containerized applications Solid experience with near real-time/real-time analytics, time series databases Proficiency in C#

Additional Notes

This is a hybrid role based in Seattle, offering flexibility while ensuring close collaboration with product, engineering, and business stakeholders.
