Location: London
Job Description:

The role

Most companies struggle to extract real-time intelligence from their existing sensor infrastructure. We build a privacy-first platform that transforms legacy systems into actionable operational insights, without requiring a full hardware overhaul. This means solving hard problems at the intersection of physical infrastructure and advanced software, delivering immediate value from existing, often overlooked, data streams.

As a Frontier Engineer, you sit at the boundary between product and customer. This isn’t a role for those who prefer detailed specs; you’ll convert ambiguous customer needs into deployed solutions, often building novel capabilities where the end-state is unclear. You’ll own the full technical surface, from data pipelines and backend services to UI components and on-site hardware configuration, directly shaping how our product delivers value in complex, real-world environments.

The work

  • Design and implement full-stack solutions, from data pipelines and custom backend services to new UI components.
  • Install and configure hardware on-site, ensuring seamless integration with existing customer infrastructure.
  • Spend up to 50% of your time directly with customers, translating vague operational challenges into concrete technical requirements.
  • Drive the product feedback loop, surfacing critical customer insights to inform future development.
  • Navigate highly ambiguous problems, delivering deployed solutions where the path forward is rarely obvious.

What You Bring

  • Proven ability to deliver tangible value in highly ambiguous technical environments, without relying on pre-defined specs.
  • Direct experience working with customers on-site, translating complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
  • A track record of resourceful problem-solving, taking vague needs from concept to deployed solution.
  • Strong prioritization skills, making deliberate tradeoffs between speed and long-term quality.
  • Comfort working across the full stack (Python, TypeScript, Linux hardware configuration) and rapidly learning new tools.
