Full-Stack Developer

Description

About the role

Syft’s product is growing and scaling, so we’re on the lookout for a new Full Stack Developer to join us. You’ll be at the heart of building the software that powers real-time gas monitoring solutions for customers around the world. You’ll work across both front-end interfaces and back-end infrastructure, shaping the complete software experience from concept to deployment.

This is a hands-on, technical role where coding is your main focus. You’ll tackle increasingly complex problems, contribute to design decisions, and take ownership of delivering features that matter. Along the way, you’ll grow your skills in planning, estimating, and communicating technical solutions, working closely across a variety of teams such as hardware, software, production and even field teams.

You’ll collaborate directly with Syft’s Product Operations Manager and technical leadership to turn real-world challenges into simple, effective solutions. We thrive on agility, rapid iteration, and experimentation, so you’ll have the freedom to innovate while seeing your work make a tangible impact for customers.

As an intermediate developer, you’ll also benefit from a strong network of senior teammates, giving you the guidance and support to accelerate your growth and take on greater responsibility over time. This role isn’t just about coding, it’s about shaping software that creates real value, solves meaningful problems, and drives Syft’s mission forward.

You’ll be supported by experienced teammates, clear priorities, and time to learn as you go.### How You’ll Contribute to Our Mission
