Senior Software Engineer

About The Electric Plant Co.

The Electric Plant Co. is building a new category of plant and tree intelligence. Our IoT hardware measures the hidden electrical signals in plants and trees, paired with environmental data, and our foundation model decodes those signals into real-time insights about plant health, growth, and stress. We're a small, fast-moving company in San Francisco working at the intersection of biology, hardware, AI, and IoT. We closed our seed round in November 2025 and our first commercial deployment has launched!

The Role

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own the software platform that turns our foundation model and IoT hardware into a usable product. As an early addition to our growing team, you’ll help define not only what we build, but how we build it.

From cloud infrastructure and APIs to real-time dashboards and firmware integrations, you'll own systems that are both fast to ship and engineered to last. You’ll collaborate daily with our scientists and hardware engineers, influence architectural decisions, and lay down the software foundations that future teams will build upon.

We’re looking for an engineer whose strengths lean toward backend systems, platforms, distributed architectures, infrastructure, and reliability. Front-end work is part of the job, but elegant u
