StaffSoftwareEngineer/TechLead

Safi’s mission is to make circular economy firms more profitable through the deployment of AI Technology. We do that by developing foundational models, software and data connectors. In this role you will deploy our technology with customers and help them use it to improve their plants. Why Safi? Our customers are industrial recyclers of plastic and metals - manufacturers, processors, smelters. These firms are held back by limited, legacy technology. Our current customers include one of the world’s largest recycling plants and a group that processes the entire plastic waste stream of a major developed nation. We have product-market fit and strong customer traction in an under-served market. We want to expand on that traction to manage the entire end to end lifecycle of plants in multiple sectors. We’re backed by leading climate-focused VCs, including LowerCarbon Capital, Nosara Capital and Transition Ventures. If our mission resonates with you, we encourage you to apply, even if your experience doesn’t match every requirement. Who we’re looking for: We're at an early stage with a small team. We need an experienced Staff Software Engineer / Tech Lead to deeply understand these plants and help us automate and improve them. You: - Own technical direction. You make the call on how core systems are designed and built, not just on the code in front of you - and you can justify those calls in terms of pace, reliability, and what the business needs next. - Raise the bar of strong engineers around you. Not via management, but via shipped work, the architecture you set, and the questions you ask in PRs and design reviews. - Have experience working with a high degree of autonomy, quickly and with a large set of competing problems to tackle (and enjoy it!). - Have experience taking products from 0 to 1 (and then from 1 to 100!) - and have made the architectural decisions that let a system survive that transition. - Are excited about deploying technology at real-world industrial
