About Us

Zeitview is the leading intelligent aerial imaging company for high-value infrastructure, providing businesses with actionable, real-time insights to recover revenue, reduce risk and improve build quality. We serve customers in the solar, wind, insurance, construction, real estate, and critical infrastructure industries. Trusted by the largest enterprises in the world, Zeitview is active in over 70 countries. Our mission is to accelerate the global transition to renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure through advanced inspection solutions. Take a look at our latest achievements here!

About the Role

As the Senior Full Stack Engineer, AI-Accelerated Delivery, you will own a suite of web and desktopapplications spanning both customer-facing and internal platform tools — used by pilots in the field, by ouroperations teams, and across the business — along with the integrations that carry work through our solar,wind, properties, oil and gas, and construction verticals. You will own them from architecture through toproduction health, and you will lead through ownership rather than headcount: setting the technical bar,mentoring across the team, and staying hands‑on.

This team is genuinely AI-native. We ship with coding agents as a matter of course and run an internal certification programme for AI-assisted engineering. We are looking for someone already further along that curve than we are, who wants to pull the team forward.

Responsibilities

• Own the application suite and its vertical integrations end to end — architecture, delivery, productionhealth and roadmap, in partnership with product
• Lead through ownership: set review and quality standards, mentor across the platform team, and stayhands‑on
• Raise the ceiling on what the team delegates to coding agents — the workflows, the standards, the tooling
• Define service levels for the applications you own, build the observability to hold them, and lead incidentresponse
• Own the path from field‑reported issue to specified, prioritised work
• Champion automated testing, end‑to‑end coverage and CI/CD, and partner with the platform architect oncross‑cutting design

Qualifications

• Demonstrated mastery of agentic development — you delegate meaningful work to coding agents end toend, have opinions about context and specification quality, and can point to workflows others adopted
• 6+ years of full stack development, with a track record of owning a product area end to end, includingmentoring other engineers
• Strong backend and frontend fundamentals, with production experience in both a modern JavaScriptframework and a server-side web framework
• Relational database experience
• Experience reviewing AI-generated code at volume, with a clear standard for what you ship
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and available for Pacific business-hours collaboration and supportescalation

Day-to-Day Tools/Technical Environment

• Java, Spring Boot - please note: we will be transitioning from Ruby on Rails to Java Spring Boot
• Ruby on Rails, React, and Electron for desktop
• PostgreSQL
• AI coding agents — Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor — as part of daily delivery
• AWS (Lambda, EC2, ECS/Fargate, S3, Step Functions) and Docker
• Async job processing with Sidekiq, Redis, SQS, ActiveMQ and Kafka
• End-to-end automation with Playwright and Cypress
• Sentry, Grafana and PagerDuty for observability and incident response
• Ember (legacy, being migrated), with Python and Java elsewhere on the platform

What's Included

• Feel great about your work as you join a leading mission-driven intelligent aerial imaging company — ourgoal is to accelerate the global transition to renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure, and youpersonally will play a large part in making this happen!
• Work-from-home environment: flexibility for employees should be the norm for companies
