Arc
Overview
What we’re building
Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple: Boats are special — but they’re loud, pollutant, unreliable, and stuck in the past. Gas-powered boats dominate not because they’re great, but because no better option has existed. Until now.
Arc is here to change that. We’re building 100% electric boats from the ground up — quicker, quieter, easier to maintain, and better for the water they ride on. We’re not just swapping gas for batteries. We’re rethinking every detail on the boat — from propulsion and powertrain to software and ownership model — applying first-principles engineering from aerospace and EVs to deliver a better boating experience.
Electric boats haven’t taken over yet. The tech hasn’t been ready. The talent hasn’t been focused here. That’s our opportunity — and we’re moving fast.
Who we’re looking for We’re looking for someone who’s fired up by our mission and ready to build. You’ll thrive here if you adapt quickly, take ownership, and care about the details.
This is a full-time, on-site role at our Los Angeles headquarters. You’ll report to Software Engineering Manager and work closely with a lean, high-trust team where everyone’s work matters.
Core responsibilities
Designing, building, testing, and deploying customer facing applications including the boat infotainment systems, mobile app, and website
Working closely with our product team to develop boundary-pushing user experiences
Identifying opportunities to use software to accelerate the company’s trajectory
Basic Qualifications
2+ years of industry experience, including expertise in at least one frontend technology (e.g. iOS, Android, React, Qt)
Familiarity with frontend patterns and architectures (e.g. MVVM, reactive programming, unidirectional data flow, declarative programming)
Familiarity with API development best practices (language/framework agnostic)
Strong grasp of the fundamentals of software engineering and passion for developing high quality, maintainable software
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
Bonus Qualifications
Experience building applications on embedded or resource constrained devices
Appreciation for customer-driven products and beautiful design
Comfortable in a fast paced and dynamic environment
Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy
At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You’re always welcome to reach out even if you don’t meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.
Our values We move with urgency and build with care. We value these five things above all else:
Ownership
over both your work and the company’s success
Empathy
for colleagues and for customers
Humility
in problem solving and collaboration
Pragmatism
for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
Inclusion
of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, and perspectives.
We want people who share and embody these values. It is vital that our values align – we’d be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.
What we offer We don’t think great work happens by accident. We invest in the people building Arc — because when you’re supported, you do your best work.
Salary $160,000
