Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

Heat pump and other HVAC failures cost billions in emergency repairs and wasted energy annually, and are managed by an increasingly short-handed labor pool. That’s where we step in: Thalo is transforming the HVAC industry with next-generation sensing and AI-powered intelligence. Our AI-powered platform transforms static assets into self-monitoring, high-performance systems, empowering technicians to shift from reactive fixes to proactive service.

Our team has built self-driving cars at Waymo, worked on satellite imagery at Google, designed systems for John Deere, developed space missions for NASA, led manufacturing design for Boom Supersonic jets, and more. We are united by our shared goal of making products that help us leverage the built environment to decarbonize today and accelerate drawdown globally!
