Sofar Ocean Tech Stack
Real-time ocean intelligence platform for maritime and climate applications
Sofar Ocean operates a global sensor network that streams ocean data to scientists, governments, and shipping operators. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward design and internal collaboration tools (Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Confluence), with embedded systems (C/C++, Arduino, Raspberry Pi) driving the hardware layer—typical of a hardware-software hybrid. Active hiring spans sales (6 roles), engineering (2), and data (1), with leadership gaps in senior engineering and product; the sales-heavy mix combined with projects around APAC expansion and channel partnerships suggests a shift from early adoption toward scaled distribution.
