About Rekise Marine

Rekise Marine is building autonomous ships and submarines that operate in the world's most hostile environments. We're executing India's flagship autonomous submarine project — the Jalkapi XLAUV — on order from the Indian Navy. This is an unmanned submarine weighing over 20 tons that can travel 5,000+ kilometers autonomously and operate in the ocean for 30+ days at a time.

We're creating some of the largest autonomous robots in the world, machines with direct impact on the global economy and national security. While autonomous cars in India may still be a dream, autonomous ships and submarines are already a reality, and it is possible to build for the world from India.

The Role

We are looking for a Software Engineer - 2 Full Stack to build the command & control system for autonomous submarines and ships. Your primary focus will be the frontend command & control GUI that operators use to monitor and command our vessels on live missions, this is the mission-critical interface operators rely on to visualize vessel state, execute commands, manage missions, and respond to system alerts in real-time.

In this role, you will:

Own the command & control frontend interface: Build real-time telemetry dashboards, command execution flows, mission planning UI, and operator alert systems.
Collaborate across teams with engineers on data contracts, robotics teams on system integration, and operators on UI/UX feedback.

This is a rare opportunity to engineer real-world, high-impact technology that operates in some of the most challenging environments on the planet

Key Responsibilities

Own the design and delivery of real-time C2 interfaces for telemetry visualization, mission planning, and operator workflows for autonomous maritime vessels.
Sensor and payload data visualization such as video, sonar, LiDAR and AIS into contextually appropriate displays per operator role.
Engineer the role-based access and user management system for user provisioning, approval workflows, and permission models across operator roles.
Build reliable and low-latency backend services (WebSockets, REST, gRPC) for command routing, mission execution, and telemetry streaming over bandwidth-constrained maritime networks.
Build robust alert and notification systems for critical vessel events (battery, comms, sensor faults, anomalies) with high-confidence delivery.
Lead frontend optimization and rendering strategies to handle high-frequency sensor updates while maintaining responsive UX.
Establish data persistence and audit trail patterns for mission logs and telemetry with strong consistency guarantees.
Set code quality standards through testing, architectural reviews, and mentorship of junior engineers.
Participate in architectural discussions on cross-stack design decisions

Required Qualifications

3–5 years of hands-on frontend development with React.js and Next.js.
Experience with real-time data visualization building dashboards that handle high-frequency updates and continuous streams.
Solid understanding of state management for complex application state (Redux, Context API, Zustand, or similar).
Practical experience with WebSockets for real-time communication and data streaming.
Performance optimization skills profiling, rendering optimization, memory management under high-frequency updates.
Hands-on experience building REST APIs and/or WebSocket services (Node.js, Python, Go, or similar).
Practical experience with gRPC or other real-time communication protocols.
Database experience SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL (MongoDB, DynamoDB). You should be comfortable writing queries and optimizing performance. Core Skills
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills using browser DevTools, network monitoring, and backend logging tools.
Ability to write clean, testable code for both frontend and backend.
Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.

Preferred Experience

Experience building command & control, telemetry, or monitoring systems (industrial dashboards, flight control interfaces).
Familiarity with geospatial/mapping libraries for mission planning (Leaflet, Mapbox, Cesium, or similar).
Understanding of safety-critical systems or mission-critical software design patterns.
Knowledge of robotics, IoT, or edge computing.

Why Join Rekise Marine

Build the Bridge to Autonomy: Architect the software platform that operators rely on to command autonomous vessels across a range of applications — from our flagship Jalkapi XLAUV, a 20-ton submarine travelling 5,000+ kilometres underwater, to platforms operating from the coast to the deep sea. The full-stack challenges, from streaming high-frequency sensor data to rendering live mission interfaces, are unlike anything else being built in India.
Mission Impact: Your applications are the eyes, ears, and command surface for autonomous vessels on live missions — including defence and security operations of national importance. Every API you ship and every interface you design directly shapes how operators monitor, navigate, and make decisions in the field.
Technical Ownership: You will architect the full stack from the ground up — backend services, real-time data pipelines, frontend command interfaces, and deployment infrastructure.
Cross-Disciplinary Work: Build at the intersection of web engineering, AI, perception, and robotics. Few full-stack roles let you work this closely with the systems your code commands.
Growth: As we scale, your role grows from engineer to platform architect, with the scope to shape the engineering organisation around you.
Benefits: Compensation benchmarked to top-quartile for the role, health insurance for you and your family and other benefits..
