REGENT is on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities with a new category of transportation: the seaglider. These wing-in-ground-effect crafts travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Seagliders aim to unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo, connecting cities, islands, and communities.

Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we’re scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production and building the team to make it happen.

Role Overview We are looking for a

Senior Software Engineer

to own and scale the digital backbone that powers our full-vehicle test, integration, and analysis environment. From real-time data collection across moving vehicles to managing high-throughput systems that feed into automated test workflows, this is the role that makes deep hardware-software integration fast, reliable, and scalable.

As part of the Software Team, you’ll join a group of driven, collaborative, and talented engineers who solve complex technical challenges and make an impact as a team. We value engineering rigor, rapid iteration, bold thinking, and teamwork to turn breakthrough ideas into real-world technology.

If you’re energized by the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, you’ll be in the right place — and we’d be thrilled to have you on the team!

What You'll Do

Build the Backbone: Design and scale a hybrid infrastructure stack (on-prem and cloud) to support high-bandwidth telemetry, software testing, and vehicle system integration, including live test campaigns and remote ops.

Make Data Move at the Speed of Test: Design and operate high-bandwidth, real-time data pipelines that ingest, process, and surface insights from thousands of signals across vehicle systems.

Engineer Relentless Reliability: Lead the development of systems that validate and verify hardware-software interactions, from unit tests to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and full mission rehearsal.

Multiply the Velocity of the Entire Engineering Team: Build platforms that enable every engineer to move faster and more confidently, translating high-stakes flight test challenges into scalable, reliable infrastructure.

What You'll Bring

Proficiency in C++, Python, and Bash with a track record of developing and maintaining complex software systems.

Hands-on experience supporting test campaigns for vehicles, drones, boats, or aircraft in fast-paced, real-world environments.

Professional experience managing and optimizing databases, physical networks, and data storage solutions.

Experience with configuration management (e.g., Git), network performance monitoring (e.g., Wireshark), and data capture/analysis tools (e.g., LabView, MATLAB).

Bonus Experience

Experience applying DevOps principles to help dynamic software teams ship quickly and reliably.

Familiarity with multi-disciplinary engineering and advanced network protocols (e.g., DDS, bridging, tunneling, multicast).

Experience with containerization, orchestration tools, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

Background in data, audio, and video streaming.

Who We're Looking For

Collaborative Team Player: You communicate effectively, collaborate with engineers and stakeholders, and work toward a shared vision.

Creative Problem Solver: You tackle complex challenges with innovative solutions and plan for future scalability and efficiency.

Adaptable & Agile: You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and adapt to changing priorities while keeping progress on track.

Innovative Mindset: You’re driven by curiosity and a passion for technology, with a focus on continuous improvement.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation including equity incentives.

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance — 100% of premiums covered.

401(k) with company matching.

Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holidays.

Relocation packages available.

Daily, free catered lunches.

Learning and professional development opportunities.
