What You'll Do
- Build software systems that integrate with hardware and control systems for advanced machinery and drill rigs we are developing in-house.
- Develop tools that allow for test execution across multiple environments: virtualized hardware, real hardware-in-the-loop, and rig-in-the-loop testing.
- Manage core infrastructure (databases, storage, monitoring, logging)
- Drive edge-computing strategies for low-latency analytics and autonomous decision-making on the rigs themselves.
- See your software through from start to finish: from identifying core needs to prototyping, developing, and testing, to field validation and hand-off.
- Work with other software engineers and data scientists to complete end-to-end workflows from machine control to web viz.
Who You Are
- Skilled in multiple programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++, Rust) with strong architectural principles. One of these languages needs to be C or C++.
- Some experience with SQL/NoSQL databases, real-time analytics, and data pipelines handling large amounts of streaming telemetry.
- Experience with hardware, firmware, and software integrations
- Experience with UNIX-like operating systems, version control, continuous integration, and continuous delivery concepts.
- Industrial or hardware-adjacent experience (real-time data acquisition, embedded systems, rugged environments) is key.
- A drive to deliver exceptional user experiences for customers and a willingness to own all outcomes.
- Have a bias to action, take pride in your work, and care more about getting to the right solution than being right.
- We are not looking for candidates with primarily front-end or database technology experience (Snowflake, Databricks).
- Experience with hardware, field-deployed sensors, industrial automation, or automotive industries is highly valued.

What We Do
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.
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.
