at ndustrial.io

🏢 About ndustrial.io

ndustrial.io is a mission-driven company focused on optimizing industrial processes to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency. Their Nsight Energy Intensity Platform leverages AI and real-time data to help industries achieve sustainability goals, making it a compelling place for engineers who want to work on impactful, green technology.

About This Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will lead the design and development of the Nsight platform's frontend, APIs, backend, and AI capabilities. Your work will directly enable industrial clients to reduce energy waste, and you'll have the opportunity to shape architectural decisions and mentor teammates.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a standup to discuss progress on a new AI-powered feature, followed by pairing with a teammate to design a GraphQL API for energy data. After lunch, you'd write TypeScript code for the frontend, using Copilot to generate boilerplate, and end the day reviewing a colleague's PR and mentoring a junior engineer on database optimization.
