The Faraday is a small, focused engineering team. We hire people who want to understand every layer of what they build — and take ownership of it.
The Faraday was founded on the belief that the best systems are built by people who understand them completely — from the silicon to the interface. We don't divide that understanding by department. Everyone here has a working knowledge of the full stack.
We are a deliberately small team. That means the work you do will be visible, your decisions will have direct impact, and there is no bureaucracy between an idea and its implementation. We move quickly and we hold our work to a high standard.
We're based in New York, NY. Most roles are hybrid, and we prioritize depth of craft over credentials or pedigree.
Deep technical ownership
You understand what you build. You can explain every decision from requirements to implementation.
Comfort at multiple layers
Whether your focus is firmware, backend, or hardware design — you're curious about the layers adjacent to yours.
Precision and restraint
You write clean, minimal systems. You don't add complexity because it's clever — only when it solves a real problem.
Low ego, high standards
Good ideas come from honest assessment. You argue for the right approach, not for your own approach.
We hire on a rolling basis. If a role matches your background, we'd like to hear from you — even if timing isn't perfect on either side.
Design and implement firmware for microcontroller-based systems. You'll work across the full embedded stack — from bare-metal drivers and RTOS configuration to hardware bring-up and peripheral integration.
Build complete software systems from API design to frontend delivery. You care about correctness and performance at every layer. Experience with systems languages (Go, Rust, C++) alongside modern web is a strong advantage.
Design multi-layer PCBs from schematic to production-ready Gerbers. You understand signal integrity, power delivery, and design-for-manufacturing. Experience with high-speed differential pairs and controlled impedance routing is preferred.
Build intelligent systems and automation pipelines that integrate into real-world environments. You think rigorously about data pipelines, model deployment, and observability. Edge inference and on-device ML experience is a plus.
We occasionally hire outside of listed openings for the right person. If your background is in systems engineering and you're looking for a team that builds at depth, send us a note.

We're not organized into feature teams or sprints with story points. You own your work end to end — from the initial design decision to the final shipped state. That means more responsibility, and more satisfaction.
02
Every project we take on requires real engineering. There are no purely administrative roles here. If you're on the team, you're building something. The variety of work — hardware, software, embedded — means you'll rarely be doing the same thing twice.
03
We disagree openly and decide clearly. There's no culture of consensus-seeking or avoiding difficult technical conversations. The best outcome for the project is the goal, and we trust each other to argue for it honestly.
