We are looking for a product-driven senior software engineer to join our team as we scale our groundbreaking Wayfinder weather routing service for the maritime transport industry. In this position you will help design, develop, and maintain services in the Wayfinder Optimization Engine – an optimal ship-routing tool that combines weather data with ship performance models and user-specified constraints to find the most efficient routes across the worlds' oceans, saving fuel, emissions and reducing risk
Building a great product will require you to have a deep understanding of our customers, their workflows and the data they work with every day. You’ll collaborate with a top-notch team of engineers and ocean scientists to translate abstract requirements into great code in a novel problem space. You’ll spend a lot of time implementing and improving core algorithms, but will also contribute to the higher level web services and infrastructure in the ecosystem.
Our tech stack includes Typescript and React on the frontend with backend APIs written using Typescript and Python. You’ll be primarily be working on our routing optimization system, which is written in Rust with some elements in Python. You should be comfortable working with both high- and low-level languages and will be collaborating with engineers to deliver end-to-end features to users. You’re excited to learn new domains & technologies when needed and are a strong communicator with other engineers and non-technical team members.

Bonus Points:
We at Sofar Ocean acknowledge that careers in the marine sciences “... have traditionally been, and remain, non-diverse work environments”, thereby limiting the entry and prosperity of underrepresented groups in the space. (Johri et al., 2021) Many of these same groups are disproportionately affected by climate change, and are often excluded from decision making that directly address their interests and needs.
We are committed to addressing these climate injustices and highly encourage people who identify as women, LGBTQ , Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) to apply.
