Software Engineer

At Glacier, we are taking on one of the world’s most pressing problems: trash. Did you know that in the US, we send over half of our recyclables to the landfill? We're hoping to fix that. In doing so, we’ll also be reducing carbon emissions, energy consumption, and depletion of natural resources.

Glacier builds custom sorting robots designed to sort apart recyclables as well as AI-powered business analytics that enable recyclers to superpower their plants and improve our society’s circularity. These two products together are helping to divert tons of recyclables (literally!) from landfills every day. We’re looking for a talented software engineer to help us build these game-changing technologies.

About us:

• We’re a small team based in San Francisco. Our founders come from Facebook engineering and Bain consulting. As an early member of the Glacier team, you’ll have a significant role in shaping our company’s future.
• We started Glacier to have a major positive environmental impact and we are searching for teammates who share in that mission.
• We’re backed by top-tier VCs and angels with extensive technical and industry expertise.
• We have several robots in production at customer sites and a robust pipeline of upcoming deployments.

Your responsibilities:

• Collaborate with our software team on core software development, including decision planning, database management, cloud infrastructure, and architecturing. As an early software hire, you will have the opportunity to write plenty of code from the ground up.
• Plan, write, review, and test code; participate in code reviews and design sessions; devise strategies to debug and generally improve the quality of our software.
• Project manage your own work and the work of other engineers around you; design roadmaps and timelines around metric-based goals.
• Partner with our founding team on the long-term product roadmap; we have lots of ideas for what waste-ending technology to build next, and we’d love to hear yours too!

Minimum requirements:
(If you don't think you meet all of the criteria but are excited about us, please reach out anyway!)

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent work experience
• 2+ years of professional experience designing and developing complex codebases.
• Demonstrated ability to proactively manage the development of large portions of a codebase.
• 2+ years of experience with Linux and coding with Python
• AWS familiarity (cloud infrastructure, serverless functions, databases, etc)

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with C++ is a plus
• Robotics experience is a plus
