Entry Level Software Programmer / Developer (.NET, C#)

Job Description Ndustrial has delivered $100M+ in energy savings for food producers, storage operators and retailers across the cold chain. Our Nsight™ platform integrates existing systems to turn energy into a measurable production input. It deploys in weeks and verifies savings in real time, without disrupting operations. Trusted by industry leaders like Lineage, Americold and ABB, we’re revolutionizing the way the cold chain uses energy for a more sustainable future.

We are a Raleigh, NC based Series B startup backed by world class investors and serve global customers in energy-intensive sectors like cold storage, logistics, and manufacturing.

Teamwork, Customer First, Quality, and Curiosity. Founded by experts in Silicon Valley innovation, industrial engineering, and computer science. With a team of forward-thinkers and problem-solvers, we’re driving the digital transformation of industries globally.

Ndustrial builds software that helps the world's largest food, cold chain, and industrial operators understand and control their energy in real time.

Ndustrial is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help design and build the frontend, APIs, backend services, and AI-powered capabilities of our Nsight Energy Intensity Platform. You'll work across the full stack in the industrial IoT space, partnering closely with engineering, product, design, and data teams to deliver intelligent, customer-focused solutions that help manufacturers optimize energy performance and operational efficiency.

We're an AI-forward engineering organization. We expect engineers to use modern AI-assisted tools as a default part of how they work, not just to write code faster, but to think through designs, explore tradeoffs, and ship intelligent product capabilities that create real customer value.

This role is for someone who works well from a design, and is just as comfortable using AI to create wireframes and mockups as they are building from them, and figures out what to build and how to build it. Take designs and loosely-defined problems and drive them to shipped features — defining scope, surfacing the right questions, and deciding what to build when the answer isn't obvious

Lead the team through key technical and architectural decisions, building alignment and making the call when one is needed

Build and maintain customer-facing features end-to-end across the UI, APIs, backend services, and data models

Design and evolve database schemas and data models that support our multi-tenant Nsight platform

Develop scalable, secure APIs that power both traditional application experiences and AI-driven product capabilities

Partner with Product, UX, and Data to translate user needs and designs into technical solutions and intelligent product experiences — contributing your own point of view, not just executing

Use AI-assisted tools and workflows as a core part of how you design, build, test, document, and operate software

Speak up in planning, design, and code reviews — raise concerns early, challenge assumptions, and help set the bar for AI-assisted engineering practices

Evaluate, prototype, and implement AI-powered features and workflows that deliver measurable value to customers

Build internal AI tools, agents, and automations that improve engineering and business operations

Identify and resolve production issues using both traditional debugging and AI-assisted analysis

Stay current on advancements in AI engineering and developer tooling, and actively push the org to adopt best-in-class practices

7+ years of professional software development experience, with a BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related experience, preferably in a startup environment

~ Works well from a design, and comfortable using AI tools (Claude or similar) to generate wireframes and mockups, then translate them into polished, production-ready interfaces

~ Strong frontend experience with React and TypeScript

~ Solid experience with relational databases and schema design, ideally PostgreSQL (SQL)

~ Demonstrated use of modern AI development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, or similar) as a core part of daily engineering workflows

~ Experience in an AI-first development environment — prompt-driven development, AI-assisted testing, code generation, leveraging and creating AI agents, debugging, and documentation

~ Comfortable full-stack, moving fluidly across the frontend, API, and data layers

~ Backend experience in one or more of: Node.js, TypeScript, Python, Java, Kotlin

~ Strong product mindset, balancing technical excellence, speed, and customer value

~ Ability to work a hybrid schedule in our downtown Raleigh office

Experience with operational and deployment tooling such as Kubernetes, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)

Experience with backend stream processing and event-driven architectures (Pulsar, Kafka, or similar)

Experience integrating LLMs, AI services, or agent-based workflows into production applications or internal platforms

Flexible PTO Policy

~ Outstanding Benefits: Medical, Dental and Vision, STD, LTD, Life, AD&D insurance employee premiums fully covered!

~ Equity Options

~ Flexible hybrid work environment to support a healthy work-life balance

~ New, modern, open office conveniently located on S. Harrington St. in Downtown Raleigh

~ Dog friendly office

~ As part of the Pledge 1% community, we donate 1% of employee time to charitable efforts every year. We actively support causes like Habitat for Humanity and One Tree Planted, in addition to various local charities. As a Green Places partner, we also track and offset our carbon emissions using high-quality, third-party verified offsets.
