Staff Software Engineer
HybridHyderabad, Telangana, India
Job Summary
Work with product managers, customers, and engineers to understand requirements and formulate scalable technical solutions for the Horizon platform. Independently take broad, ambiguous problem statements to build and ship end-to-end software across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and data using AWS, Node.js, TypeScript, and React. Review code generated by peers and AI agents, leveraging autonomous tools to accelerate delivery while improving reliability, security, and developer productivity. Own outcomes rather than assignments, challenging assumptions to optimize approaches and engineer high-impact business results. Contribute to improving engineering systems, documentation, and observability workflows while exploring new prototypes. This full-stack role supports SkySpecs' mission to simplify renewable asset management through advanced robotics and data-driven repair campaigns.
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience designing, shipping, and operating production software systems
- A proven track record of operating with absolute self-direction—capable of taking a loosely defined, high-level mandate and driving it to production with minimal to no supervision
- Experience navigating the fast-paced, evolving environments typical of early-stage companies, scaling startups, or operating as a founding engineer
- Communication skills, high emotional intelligence (EQ), and mentoring instincts required to anchor, build, and formally lead an engineering team as the organization scales
- Mastery of modern backend systems (e.g., Node.js/TypeScript, Python, or Go) coupled with significant frontend architectural experience (e.g., React, Angular, Vue)
- Direct production experience provisioning cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Deep familiarity with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows, with a strong internal compass for auditing, correcting, and securing agent-generated outputs
- Capability to independently take broad, highly ambiguous problem statements, formulate scalable technical solutions, and participate directly in delivery by writing and owning production code
- Capability to understand the entire system, formulate end-to-end solutions, and contribute wherever the work requires
- Capability to work across frontend, backend, infrastructure, data, and developer tooling as needed to deliver outcomes
Desired Qualifications
- Familiarity with our stack: AWS, GitLab, Auth0, Grafana, Terraform, Kafka, Node.js, TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL, React, Ant Design, Vitest, Playwright, and PostgreSQL
- Experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, or automation systems
- Experience operating distributed systems at scale
- Background in utility-scale energy generation, emphasis on renewables
