Full Stack Engineer -2

Location: Bangalore | Full-Time | Experience: 4-8 Years

Rekise Marine is building autonomous ships and submarines that operate in the world's most hostile environments. We're executing India's flagship autonomous submarine project — the Jalkapi XLAUV — on order from the Indian Navy. This is an unmanned submarine weighing over 20 tons that can travel 5,000+ kilometers autonomously and operate in the ocean for 30+ days at a time.

We're creating some of the largest autonomous robots in the world, machines with direct impact on the global economy and national security. While autonomous cars in India may still be a dream, autonomous ships and submarines are already a reality, and it is possible to build for the world from India.

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to build the command & control system for autonomous submarines and ships. Your primary focus will be the frontend command & control GUI that operators use to monitor and command our vessels on live missions, this is the mission-critical interface operators rely on to visualize vessel state, execute commands, manage missions, and respond to system alerts in real-time.

In this role, you will:

• Own the command & control frontend interface: Build real-time telemetry dashboards, command execution flows, mission planning UI, and operator alert systems.
• Collaborate across teams with engineers on data contracts, robotics teams on system integration, and operators on UI/UX feedback.

This is a rare opportunity to engineer real-world, high-impact technology that operates in some of the most challenging environments on the planet.

• Own the design and delivery of real-time C2 interfaces for telemetry visualization, mission planning, and operator workflows for autonomous maritime vessels.
• Sensor and payload data visualization such as video, sonar, LiDAR and AIS into contextually appropriate displays per operator role.
• Engineer the role-based access and user management system for user provisioning, approval workflows, and permission models across operator roles.
• Build reliable and low-latency backend services (WebSockets, REST, gRPC) for command routing, mission execution, and telemetry streaming over bandwidth-constrained maritime networks.
• Build robust alert and notification systems for critical vessel events (battery, comms, sensor faults, anomalies) with high-confidence delivery.
• Lead frontend optimization and rendering strategies to handle high-frequency sensor updates while maintaining responsive UX.
• Establish data persistence and audit trail patterns for mission logs and telemetry with strong consistency guarantees.
• Set code quality standards through testing, architectural reviews, and mentorship of junior engineers.
• Participate in architectural discussions on cross-stack design decisions.

• 4–8 years of hands-on frontend development with React.js and Next.js.
• Experience with real-time data visualization building dashboards that handle high-frequency updates and continuous streams.
• Solid understanding of state management for complex application state (Redux, Context API, Zustand, or similar).
• Practical experience with WebSockets for real-time communication and data streaming.
• Performance optimization skills profiling, rendering optimization, memory management under high-frequency updates.
• Hands-on experience building REST APIs and/or WebSocket services (Node.js, Python, Go, or similar).
• Practical experience with gRPC or other real-time communication protocols.
• Database experience SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB). You should be comfortable writing queries and optimizing performance.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills using browser DevTools, network monitoring, and backend logging tools.
• Ability to write clean, testable code for both frontend and backend.
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience building command & control, telemetry, or monitoring systems (industrial dashboards, flight control interfaces).
• Familiarity with geospatial/mapping libraries for mission planning (Leaflet, Mapbox, Cesium, or similar).
• Understanding of safety-critical systems or mission-critical software design patterns.
• Knowledge of robotics, IoT, or edge computing.

• Build the Bridge to Autonomy: Architect the software platform that operators rely on to command autonomous vessels across a range of applications — from our flagship Jalkapi XLAUV, a 20-ton submarine travelling 5,000+ kilometres underwater, to platforms operating from the coast to the deep sea. The full-stack challenges, from streaming high-frequency sensor data to rendering live mission interfaces, are unlike anything else being built in India.
• Mission Impact: Your applications are the eyes, ears, and command surface for autonomous vessels on live missions — including defence and security operations of national importance. Every API you ship and every interface you design directly shapes how operators monitor, navigate, and make decisions in the field.
• Technical Ownership: You will architect the full stack from the ground up — backend services, real-time data pipelines, frontend command interfaces, and deployment infrastructure.
• Cross-Disciplinary Work: Build at the intersection of web engineering, AI, perception, and robotics. Few full-stack roles let you work this closely with the systems your code commands.
• Growth: As we scale, your role grows from engineer to platform architect, with the scope to shape the engineering organisation around you.
• Benefits: Compensation at par with the best in the industry, health insurance for you and your family and other benefits.
