At Orca AI, we're on a mission to shape the future of the shipping industry through cutting-edge autonomous ship technology. Our solutions empower teams both on the ship and ashore to make informed decisions that dramatically enhance safety, reduce fuel consumption, improve navigation, and minimize environmental impact.

We’re looking for a hands-on Edge Software Engineer to join our Innovation Team and build the software backbone that connects prototype AI perception to operational deployment. This is a mid-to-senior level role focused on reliability at the edge. You’ll own communication and synchronization across distributed platforms, design robust runtime architectures, and package perception pipelines into production-grade modules built for harsh real-world constraints.

This isn’t a narrow backend job - it’s an opportunity to build the next generation of AI-powered maritime infrastructure from the ground up, with full ownership and impact, alongside the most innovative team in the most advanced company in this space.

Startup jobs. A lot of them.
