Software Engineer

BlueConduit has developed an innovative software platform to predict risk and support data-driven decision making in water infrastructure. Our founding team members were first to build predictive modeling that guided the then-largest replacement of lead service lines in the US (Flint, MI), and we have since expanded to over 80 water systems in North America. We are passionate about using data for good and improving equity. While we are still a small startup, we work with several of the largest water systems in the U.S., helping to solve their most challenging problems.

Responsibilities include

• Owning the ongoing design, implementation and maintenance of BlueConduit’s Platform-as-a-Service
• Continuing to expand the Platform through the development of automation solutions, particularly in data pipelines, data processing, data science, and machine learning (MLops)
• Building architectures for new data sources (ingest) and integrations (output)
• Collaborating with our internal teams to develop and deliver new customer-centric features/solutions

As a direct member of a small mission-driven team of data scientists, product managers and software engineers, this is an excellent opportunity to help shape the role of software development inside BlueConduit.
