YOUR TEAM
The Software Engineering team is nestled within our Seakeeper Product Engineering department. It is a dynamic, nimble, high-profile group tasked with leveraging, obtaining, and owning the diverse technical expertise and capabilities required to fulfill critical, foundational product development functions. Its primary function is to deliver world class, Linux based, system management and user interface functionality to Seakeeper products. It is a flat team, managing projects through an Agile workflow that allows maximum exposure to a variety of projects and systems within the group. You’ll be involved in a myriad of projects and have opportunities for feature ownership and process ownership as time progresses. Seakeeper has heavily invested in vertical integration for our Linux subsystem, we control all the hardware and the software, so you'll get to play a diverse role on the software side of that equation.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE
It’s true that we make extraordinary products, but our favorite part about Seakeeper is our people! We believe in participative leadership. That means you have the freedom to make a difference and contribute to the larger goal, regardless of your position. Great ideas can strike at any moment, and when you have one, you’re empowered to speak up!
We are constantly pushing (or crushing) boundaries. Stagnant or bored are about as opposite from Seakeeper as you can get! We move quick and if there is something that can be improved upon, we jump on it.
WHO WE ARE
71% of our Earth is covered by water and we want everyone to make the most of it. That’s why we are committed to creating products that transform the boating experience with an organization that employees want to work for, customers want to buy from, and vendors want to partner with. Seakeeper Ride, a Vessel Attitude Control System, eliminates underway pitch and roll, making time on the water safer and more comfortable for everyone on board.
Seakeeper was founded in 2008, growing from a start-up operation to the worldwide leader in stabilization thanks to its popular line of gyro stabilizers. Seakeeper Ride launched in 2022 and is the first product deviation from that line, bringing the magic of Seakeeper to boats while underway. There’s a long runway of growth ahead as more and more OEMs adopt Seakeeper Ride as standard equipment and we work to make aftermarket refits a reality.
