Software Development Engineer

The Sr. Software Development Engineer on the Duro Design team builds and ships product experiences that hardware engineers rely on every day. You'll work across our modern stack-from frontend interfaces to backend architecture-to deliver elegant, performant, and scalable solutions. This role partners closely with product, design, and engineering teammates in a fast-moving, highly autonomous environment.

We're looking for engineers who think end-to-end, embrace experimentation, and leverage modern AI-powered workflows to move with speed and precision. This is a hybrid role based in Los Angeles, CA (3 days per week in office).

A day in the life of our Sr. Software Development Engineer:

Feature Ownership: Decompose product requirements into well-structured tasks and own delivery from concept through production release.

Full Stack Development: Build across our stack (TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, React, Apollo GraphQL, PostgreSQL, AWS) to deliver scalable, high-quality software.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product and design teams to translate user needs into thoughtful, intuitive, and performant experiences.

End-to-End Thinking: Architect, implement, test, deploy, and measure features with a focus on long-term maintainability and system integrity.

Experimentation & Analytics: Instrument features using PostHog, run experiments, analyze real user data, and iterate based on measurable outcomes.

AI-Driven Engineering: Leverage modern AI development workflows to increase velocity, structure context effectively, and deliver production-ready systems.

Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to refine architecture, improve performance, and scale systems while maintaining engineering excellence., We have adopted a hybrid model that gives employees the ability to work remotely two days a week while ensuring that we come together as a team in the office the rest of the time. The designated in-office days are Tuesday through Thursday for innovation, collaboration and continuous learning.
