Senior software engineer Jobs in Torrance, CA

Durin was founded under the belief that raw materials should not be a constraint on civilization's progress. We are actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of becoming the foundation of the global supply chain.

WHO WE ARE

Durin builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery.

Our modern way of life, from smartphones to skyscrapers, starts as ore in the ground. But mines don't simply appear. In fact, the exploration process required to find valuable ore is incredibly long and expensive. This is done by drilling hundreds of surgical holes into the earth to recover cylindrical core samples.

Mining is a trillion-dollar industry, but the drills used to explore haven't changed in nearly 100 years. Mines are becoming harder to find, which is a danger to the future of civilization. Our mission is to change that. The first step is mass production of automated drilling rigs to find more mines, faster. That is just the beginning. Learn More

BUILDING THE SYSTEMS

As a Senior Software Engineer at Durin, you will be directly responsible for the architecture and development of end-to-end software systems that run next-generation industrial machinery. The tools and applications you build will enable drillers to multiply their efforts, improve the customer journey throughout the exploration process, and ultimately make significant mineral discoveries all around the world.

Note :  You don't need mining or drilling experience to excel in this role.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build software systems that integrate smart data processing with command & control of the rigs.
• Design well-architected, responsive, and performant web applications.
• Develop tools that allow for test execution across multiple environments : virtualized hardware, real hardware-in-the-loop, and even rig-in-the-loop testing.
• Integrate security frameworks and data protection policies to meet regulatory standards and protect sensitive customer & geochemical information.
• Optimize microservices and data pipelines to handle large-scale, rapidly growing datasets from drilling operations.
• Manage core infrastructure (databases, storage, monitoring, logging) both on-premises at rig sites and in public cloud environments.
• Drive edge-computing strategies for low-latency analytics, machine learning, and autonomous decision-making on the rigs themselves.
• See your software through from start to finish : from figuring out the core needs to prototyping, developing, and testing, to field validation and hand-off.

WHO YOU ARE

$150,000 - $180,000 a year

COMPENSATION

This role will pay  $150,000–$180,000 , plus equity , so you have a real stake in Durin's success. Everyone is an owner, so as the company grows, your equity grows too.
