Description
You'll design and build scalable backend services in Python that process and serve sensor data on Azure, working on cloud-native systems that power sensor infrastructure. This role involves architecting cloud infrastructure for high-throughput data pipelines and working directly with hardware and systems engineering teams to integrate software with physical sensor systems. You'll have high autonomy in a small team with outsized impact, seeing your work protect people's lives.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional software development experience
- Strong proficiency in Python
- Experience designing and operating scalable backend systems in cloud environments (Azure strongly preferred)
- Track record of building and supporting production systems — you've been on-call, debugged outages, and shipped under pressure
- Proficiency with modern engineering practices: git, unit testing, CI/CD, code review
- Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or permanent resident) — required for access to controlled technology
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
Responsibilities
- Design and build scalable backend services in Python that process and serve sensor data on Azure
- Architect cloud infrastructure for high-throughput, low-latency data pipelines
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, and release processes
- Work directly with hardware and systems engineering teams to integrate software with physical sensor systems
- Define software architecture decisions as a foundational member of the team
- Mentor engineers as the team grows
- Travel periodically to other offices (LA, DC) and customer sites
