What we’re building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas boats dominate today’s marine industry not because of great product offerings but because of a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s: unreliable, expensive, loud, noxious, and a nightmare to own and operate. They’re also awful for the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way: not only are they far more reliable and less costly to operate, but they’re also quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they’ve been held back by both the technology and the talent to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That’s Arc’s opportunity.

Using modern, aerospace- and automotive-inspired techniques, we’re building our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and willing to learn on the job. We pride ourselves on transparency and operate in a lean, high-trust environment that encourages everyone to take ownership of their domain.

As a full-time Software Engineer, you will work from our manufacturing facility in Torrance. Given that we’re a startup, you’ll be part of a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some core responsibilities and qualifications we expect to remain consistent for this role.

Core Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and deploy customer-facing applications, including the boat infotainment system, mobile app, and website.
• Work closely with our product team to develop cutting-edge user experiences.
• Identify opportunities to leverage software to accelerate the company’s growth.

Basic Qualifications

• At least 2 years of industry experience, with expertise in at least one frontend technology (e.g., iOS, Android, React, Qt).
• Familiarity with frontend patterns and architectures (e.g., MVVM, reactive programming, unidirectional data flow, declarative programming).
• Understanding of API development best practices (language/framework agnostic).
• Strong grasp of software engineering fundamentals and a passion for developing high-quality, maintainable software.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience building applications for embedded or resource-constrained devices.
• Passion for customer-driven products and elegant design.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
