Software Engineer, Fullstack

Shinkei Systems builds technology that improves how food moves through the world.

We design robotic and software systems that bring consistency, quality, and care to seafood processing—preserving value, reducing waste, and supporting healthier supply chains. Our work is grounded in respect for craft, informed by long-standing practices, and executed with modern engineering.

This is applied, real-world work. The systems we build operate in demanding environments and have visible, tangible impact.

The Role

This role contributes directly to the software systems that connect Shinkei’s robotics, operations, and customers. As one of the first Full Stack Software Engineers at Shinkei, you’ll play a key role in designing and building

ShinkeiOS , our internal web platform that tracks fish from catch to customer and powers day-to-day operations across the company.

You’ll work on problems that require technical rigor, thoughtful product judgment, and end-to-end ownership—balancing usability, reliability, and scalability as our systems grow alongside our hardware and operations.

What You’ll Do

Design, develop, and maintain ShinkeiOS, our internal full stack web application supporting operational workflows from catch through customer delivery

Build and own backend services and APIs for data management, reporting, and integrations with robotic systems, ERP platforms, and external partners

Develop intuitive, user-centered frontend experiences that translate complex operational needs into clear, usable tools

Implement and maintain foundational DevOps workflows including deployments, monitoring, logging, and automated testing to ensure system reliability and scalability

Collaborate closely with robotics, operations, and business teams to gather requirements, iterate on features, and deliver practical, production-ready software

Use real-world feedback and operational data to continuously improve system performance and usability

What You’ll Need

Professional experience building and owning full stack applications in production environments

Strong proficiency with both frontend and backend technologies (e.g., React, Vue, or Angular; Node.js, Python, Go, or similar)

Solid understanding of relational and/or non-relational databases, data modeling, and query optimization

Experience applying UX/UI design principles to build clear, effective user interfaces

Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, CodeBuild, CircleCI)

Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized deployments (Docker; Kubernetes a plus)

Clear, pragmatic communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams

Comfort taking ownership in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment

Bonus If You Have Experience With

Designing internal tools for operations-heavy or industrial environments

Integrating software systems with hardware or robotic platforms

Operational analytics, reporting, or data-driven decision-making

High-reliability or safety-conscious systems

Food systems, seafood processing, or supply chain operations

How We Work

Low ego, high ownership

Thoughtful decision-making and clear communication

Respect for craft—mechanical, digital, and operational

Building systems that last

Health, dental, vision, life, and short-term disability insurance

80 hours of paid time off, accrued throughout the year

Seremoni-grade fish to take home—so the quality we build can be experienced at the table as well as in the field

Other Things to Know

This is a

100% in-person role

based in El Segundo, CA

The role requires close collaboration with robotics and operations teams and hands-on support for our processing facility workflows
