Aquabyte
Software Engineering
San Francisco, CA, USA
Posted on Aug 8, 2025
Aquabyte is seeking a Frontend Engineer to help continue to build and develop our UI application that enables fish farm's sustainable operations across the world.
Hybrid Role (Bay Area Candidates Only):
This is a hybrid position, and we are seeking candidates who reside in the Bay Area and can commute to our San Francisco office twice a week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The ideal candidate will excel in both in-person collaboration and a flexible work setting.
Our mission
Aquabyte is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea for generations to come.
We are a diverse, mission-driven team that is eager to work alongside kindred spirits. If this vision makes you smile, gives you goosebumps, or otherwise inspires you please get in touch.
Our product
We are currently focused on helping Norwegian salmon farmers better understand their fish populations and make environmentally-sound decisions. Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.
Above all, Aquabyte is a customer-driven company. Our product development is dictated by the needs of fish farmers and we prioritize customer delight in everything we do. We are committed to build a global, collaborative team that creates value far beyond Silicon Valley.
The role
As a Frontend Engineer at Aquabyte, you will be responsible for creating the user interface for our fish farming clients.
