Axiom Cloud is transforming how the world’s cooling systems are powered, operated, and maintained; generating significant climate and financial impact.
We are looking for a Software Engineer who wants to work at the intersection of IoT, cloud infrastructure, and real-world energy systems; and who thrives building software that matters.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
You will work directly with the engineering team on the following strategic initiatives:
* Build, improve, and maintain an ecosystem of software services and APIs that manage a fleet of flexible, intelligent, and resilient assets; from the cloud to the IoT edge. * Collaborate with hardware, controls, modeling, and data science teams to develop innovative, AI-enabled products. * Engineer reliability and scale into our multi-tenant microservices stack, scaling from handfuls to thousands of customer sites. * Contribute to cloud-native deployment practices across our production environment. * Reduce technical debt by addressing existing shortcuts and setting a higher bar for new feature development. * Build and orchestrate AI Agents to accelerate team productivity and deliver customer value. * Participate in code reviews to maintain quality and foster knowledge sharing. * Improve internal tooling and documentation to make the development experience more accessible. * Develop full-stack features that connect backend services to user-facing interfaces.
WHO YOU ARE
A general guide — we can bend these rules for an exceptional candidate.
* Bachelors in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. * 3+ years of professional software development experience. * Strong software design instincts; comfortable across object-oriented and functional paradigms. * Motivated to contribute across the full stack, from strategy and architecture to coding, testing, and production operations. * Quick to pick up new technologies and development methodologies. * A self-directed problem-solver who generates innovative solutions with minimal oversight. * Passionate about technology innovation, product development, and commercial/industrial SaaS.
