Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end technical roadmap and lead the development of a scalable, customer-facing enterprise platform for river data. Manage the technical team and collaborate with hardware and hydrology teams to industrialize the product.
Requirements
Requires at least 7 years of experience building software products and 3 years of leadership experience, specifically with AWS and cloud-based systems. Must have a proven track record of taking enterprise products from 0 to 1 in a startup environment.
Full job description
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced software engineer to own Riverkin’s technical roadmap end-to-end, including working hands-on on the software component. You will take responsibility for creating a reliable client-facing product, which will be mainly an enterprise software that is fed with data (from hardware we build ourselves) and models (which we also build ourselves).
We already have several manufactured sensor prototypes and a software MVP deployed in the field with clients. Now we need someone who can take what exists, challenge it where needed, and define a coherent, scalable path forward with a customer facing approach and without overengineering or starting from scratch unnecessarily.
You should think like a builder, not an optimizer. We need someone who has taken products from 0 to 1 and knows how to move fast without losing track of the overall structure.
Tasks
What You'll Do
Create Clarity and Momentum
Bring structure to ambiguous problems and drive them to execution
Make decisions and move forward without waiting for perfect information
Lead, shape and manage the technical team
You will be a leader and guide the technical team so that everyone has enough context for their work, ownership of their work, and a growth path
You will decide what to build in-house, where to use external support, and how to keep engineering quality high as the software and sensor deployments scale.
Own the technical roadmap
Work with the product team to obtain product requirements and translate them into a technical roadmap
You will align the roadmap with our current stage
Decide when to iterate, fix or rebuild and explain why
Create a path to scale and industrialization
Own, Build, and Industrialize the Software Architecture
Define and build the first customer-facing platform where customers can access, understand and act on our data.
Evaluate the current backend and decide what to keep, fix, or redesign (today: a Python backend, AWS provisioned with Terraform, SQLite, and a JavaScript frontend)
Make practical decisions on UX, APIs, and structure to get to a usable MVP quickly
Lead development of our cloud backend (primarily AWS and GCP based)
Build and refine data pipelines from sensor ingestion to usable outputs
Not only design, but remain deeply involved in implementation
Lead debugging and debug yourself
Find the balance between scalable architecture and pragmatic solutions, aligned with our stage (product and company)
Bring the final product to commercialization/industrialization
Work with the hydrology and hardware teams
Translate customer needs in product development direction, both hardware and data side
You will support the hardware team to bring their hardware to industrialization
You will lead and define the IP roadmap together with the hardware team
You will work with the hydrology team to define the model outputs and how to represent the outputs in the software
Who You Are
You have built and shipped enterprise products from the ground up in a startup or similar environment.
You are customer facing, translate customer needs into product and architecture decisions.
You are both a hands-on developer and an architect.
You have worked closely with hardware-software systems.
You have strong intuition for pragmatic software architecture at an early stage.
You can turn messy inputs into clear technical directions.
You care about building systems that actually work in the real world.
You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical teammates.
Requirements
Technical Requirements
Strong experience building cloud-based systems (AWS required)
Proficient in modern backend development (e.g. Python or Node.js)
Experience designing and building data pipelines and APIs
Comfortable building simple frontends for MVPs
Experience working with real-world data systems (IoT, data platforms, or similar is a strong plus)
7 years of experience building and shipping software products
3 years of experience managing and leading a team
Comfortable with infrastructure-as-code (we use Terraform) and SQL
Nice to Have
Experience building data-as-a-service or analytics platforms
Previous founder experience
Benefits
Role Details
Commitment: 100% FTE
Compensation: competitive base salary plus meaningful equity, depending on experience
Location: 4 days per week in Zurich office (with one day flexible/remote)
Starting date: by November 1st 2026 at the latest
Work-permit: Swiss/EU nationals with a work permit are prioritized since we do not have the capability to sponsor a work permit for third-country candidates
Relocation: We do not sponsor relocation
Benefits: 25 days of vacation
About Riverkin
We are a well-capitalized Swiss startup building real-time sensing and data infrastructure for rivers. Our own field-deployed sensors collect live water-level and sediment data, while our platform turns that data into decision-ready insights for customers. We work across two core use cases: hydropower, where better sediment data can support flushing, asset protection and compliance; and flash-flood risk, where local river data can help hydropower, first responders and municipalities understand what is happening before conditions become critical. We are a small, hands-on team working across hydrology models, sensing products, software and market development with real customer deployments.
To apply: If you have them, add links to things you’ve shipped: your Github profile, a portfolio, or a couple of lines on a 0-to-1 product you owned (optional, not required).
Our process has three stages: 1) a screening call, 2) an online 45min interview, and 3) a 2h workshop with the founders on-site in Zurich.

Riverkin is building the platform for freshwater data. Water drives most natural disasters, yet the data still barely exists or sits in silos. We deploy a global sensor network, aggregate fragmented sources, and turn those signals into model-ready datasets in real time. Think of it as an operating system for rivers, enabling better tools and, for the first time, the ability to predict flash floods. Already live with real deployments and paying customers.
We’re turning water into a new data layer.
