Why This Role Stands Out
This role offers a unique opportunity to drive significant architectural decisions and scale critical infrastructure for an innovative health-tech company, perfect for a generalist software engineer experienced in 0-1 scaling. You'll thrive in a fast-paced, ownership-driven culture where AI tools are leveraged for efficient development, and your expertise will directly shape the future of personalized sleep technology. Apply to make a tangible impact on a product with immense growth potential.
Quick Overview
Job Description
What to expect
This is a full-time on-site role located in San Francisco for a Distributed Systems Engineer, MQTT and Platform. You will be responsible for scaling our infrastructure, owning major architecture decisions, and building the platform on which product features are built. If you are a generalist software engineer that has experience scaling out of 0-1 systems, this role is for you.
About Orion
Orion is a personalized smart mattress cover that tracks your sleep and uses AI to cool and heat your body to the perfect core body temperature cycle. The mattress cover has embedded sensors that track biological signals such as heart rate and breath rate, turning that into advanced sleep insights without the need of a wearable.
Who We Are
Orion is led by repeat founders with multiple 9 and 10-figure exits in consumer products and health-tech. The team has a combination of technical, marketing, product, operational, manufacturing, and sleep science expertise. The founding team has previously built and sold businesses that currently exceed $2 billion in value, are doing over $700 million in revenue, and have over 25 million users.
Culture
Orion is a zero-bureaucracy move-fast culture. Everyone on the team is hired and empowered to have complete ownership over their area of expertise. We would rather hire someone with strong opinions rather than no opinions. Our software engineering team writes almost 0 code by hand and leans heavy on agentic AI tools.
Summary
We don't spend time writing a bulleted list of expectations we are looking for in a candidate.
We hire people, not roles.
