Software Engineer

About the role

About Deep Sky: Deep Sky is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to carbon removal by developing and operating direct air capture (DAC) facilities. Our state-of-the-art plant in Innisfail will play a crucial role in capturing CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, helping combat climate change on a global scale. Join us in this groundbreaking journey to achieve net-zero.

Job Overview: We are looking for a Software Engineer to be the hands-on owner of our Direct Air Capture (DAC) platform's user experience. You will use React/TypeScript and strong product intuition to design and deliver high-quality web applications for internal operations, compliance reporting, and critical external-facing dashboards used by carbon credit customers and the public.

Key Responsibilities - Front-End Development & Product Design

- Design, develop, and maintain responsive web-based User Interfaces (UIs) and dashboards using React and TypeScript to visualize real-time sensor data, manage workflows, and facilitate data-driven control decisions.

- Apply a strong sense of design and product intuition to translate complex data and system status into intuitive, high-quality user experiences (UI/UX).

- System Integration & APIs

- Develop and implement APIs (e.g., REST) that connect the front-end control interfaces and data dashboards with the backend systems.

- Integrate test system software with the backend platform, ensuring effective communication for triggering tests and displaying results.

- Infrastructure & Data Awareness (Collaboration/Context)

- Collaborate with the infrastructure team on the CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment of front-end applications.

- Contribute to the design of systems that read, manage, and efficiently serve large datasets from sensors to the front-end for visualization and analysis.

- Data Collection & Management:

- Write software to manage and read data from sensors on prototype units, ensuring accurate and efficient data collection for analysis.

- Collaboration & Ownership:

- Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure seamless integration between software interfaces and physical system requirements.

- Participate in code reviews and contribute to best practices for full-stack software development.

- Demonstrate extreme ownership of product outcomes, from UI usability to data accuracy.

Basic Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in computer, electrical, robotics, aerospace engineering or computer science, mathematics, physics or other related STEM discipline.

- 3+ years of professional experience with modern front-end development, specifically React and TypeScript.

- Strong proficiency in designing and implementing APIs (REST) for system control and data access.

- Experience writing software for managing or reading time series data (e.g., in an industrial or testing environment) and automating workflows.
