Senior Software Engineer

About the role

About Perry Weather

Perry Weather is the weather safety standard for organizations that operate outdoors. We combine on-site weather hardware with a software platform that automates alerts, siren activations, and safety decisions for more than 3,000 organizations — from the PGA of America, the NFL, and MLB to Turner Construction, thousands of school districts, cities, and golf courses. We've grown 80%+ annually for five consecutive years, and are continuing to grow.

We're headquartered in Dallas at The Centrum, in the Oak Lawn neighborhood, where our teams work together every day to help organizations make faster and safer decisions when weather puts people, assets, and operations at risk.

About the Role

As a senior software engineer, you will join our small but growing team of software engineers. You'll work across the board, from our React web dashboard and React Native mobile app to the .NET services and real-time weather processing and alerting infrastructure behind them. You'll learn how our software interacts with our proprietary hardware, and you'll drive improvements to reliability and efficiency with every deployment. We're looking for someone who is hungry, scrappy, and humble and who is energized by the fact that our weather safety solution protects thousands of lives every day across North America.

This is a full-stack role in the widest sense. We want an engineer who can own a feature from the interface a customer touches down to the device in the field, and who is comfortable moving into an unfamiliar part of the system, building an accurate picture of how it works, and changing it safely. Nobody here is an expert in all of it.

We also expect you to build with AI coding agents as part of your daily work.

We aren't constrained by a certain set of technologies, languages, or frameworks. We pick the right technologies for each job, and as a software engineer on our team, you will have tremendous influence in determining those technologies and how we build our systems as we continue to scale. That said, we care as much about your hunger and ability to learn quickly as about what you already know.

- Improve and innovate on existing infrastructure

- Use AI coding agents daily, and help set how the team works with them
