## About the role

Valinor Terra is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take ownership of Terra’s software offering, the platform that connects environmental sensors in military barracks to the facilities teams responsible for keeping them safe and livable. Terra aims to turn sensor readings into alerts and work orders so problems get fixed before they become emergencies. This role is onsite in Austin. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including time on a small team that took a product from zero to one and an architecture you designed from the ground up
- Experience designing multi-tenant systems, including the tradeoffs involved and which decisions you’d make again. This shouldn’t be the first multi-tenant architecture you’ve built
- Full-stack range with real depth on the backend: comfortable on the frontend, with stronger opinions about services, data, and architecture. TypeScript and Postgres experience is ideal, but strong fundamentals matter more than a matching résumé
- Comfort owning deployment without a dedicated DevOps team, including containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Terraform. You don’t need to be a Kubernetes expert, but you can step in when it matters
- The ability to explain technical tradeoffs in plain language to non-technical leaders, government customers, and hardware engineers
- A track record of building for real users, including making engineering tradeoffs in favor of the person using the product
