About Vital Lyfe
Vital Lyfe is building high-performance, desalination systems to bring clean water anywhere on Earth without needing power infrastructure. We're a hardware-first company tackling one of the world’s most urgent challenges through engineering precision, modern design, and systems-level thinking.
We’re looking for a full-time Software Engineer to lead development across our embedded systems, web / mobile applications, and backend infrastructure. You’ll be responsible for bringing intelligence and user experience to our desalination platform, from firmware that controls hardware in the field to apps and tools that power operations, monitoring, and support. This is a hands-on role for a technical generalist who thrives in early-stage environments and wants full ownership across the software stack. What You'll Do
- Lead development of firmware for embedded control systems (sensors, motors, pumps, valves, etc.)
- Develop user-facing applications for mobile or web (e.g. system status, user config, onboarding)
- Integrate with cloud services for data collection, OTA updates, and diagnostics
- Collaborate tightly with hardware, test, and product teams to create robust, scalable systems
- Build and maintain internal tools, dashboards, and device monitoring infrastructure
- Shape foundational software architecture, stack, and developer workflows
- Comfort building full-stack applications (Node.js, React, Python, or equivalent)
- Experience with embedded firmware (C/C++, RTOS, or similar low-level systems)
- Familiarity with hardware/software integration and field deployments
- Experience designing for reliability, maintainability, and offline environments
- Self-directed, hands-on builder who values clarity, simplicity, and cross-functional work
- Bonus: BLE or cellular experience, remote monitoring, OTA update pipelines, or IoT platforms
- Work on high-impact problems with global relevance
- Help scale breakthrough technology in water security and climate resilience
- Early ownership in a high-growth, engineering-led startup
- Join a tight-knit, mission-driven team in a fast-paced environment
- Build long-term career equity as we grow
