ย Echodyne is seeking a Principal Software Engineer, Cloud Platform,ย to join our fast-growing team.ย ย
Who You Areย
You are a high-caliber technical leader who specializes in building the cloud-native "connective tissue" for complexย radarย ecosystems. You thrive at the intersection ofย distributed systems and real-time data ingestion, turning the massive output of edge radar systems into structured, actionable intelligence. As aย technical shepherd, you guide the team to build a mission-critical backend that is "edge-aware"-designed to handle the unique telemetry, scale, and security requirements of a fast-growing fleet of radar assets.ย
Required Experienceย
- Data Ingestion:ย Expert-levelย proficiencyย inย AWS cloud-native servicesย specifically tuned for high-throughput device data (e.g., IoT Core, Kinesis, Timestream, Lambda). You have a provenย track recordย of leading the development of backends that "talk" to specialized hardware at the edge.ย
- Distributed Systems:ย Deep experience in leading the design of resilient systems that can handle the bursty, high-frequency telemetry unique to radar systems whileย maintainingย low-latency command-and-control loops.ย
- Security & Privacy:ย Deep understanding of software security, specificallyย authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ)ย for remote devices, andย data privacyย frameworks to ensure secure transmission and storage of radar data.ย
- Technical Leadership:ย Proven experience as aย Tech Lead, moving between high-level system guidance and driving the implementation of complex backend services that support physical assets in the field.ย
- Collaboration:ย A strong understanding of edge constraints. You understand how radar data is serialized and canย leadย the design of cloud schemas that account for intermittent connectivity and bandwidth limitations.ย
- Results-Oriented Delivery:ย A clear history of driving technical teams to meet commitments and delivering customer-facing products in rapid R&D or aerospace/defense-adjacent environments.ย
What Sets You Apartย
- The "Edge-Aware" Tech Lead:ย Youย don'tย treat the cloud as an isolated silo; you lead the development of backend services specifically to solve the challenges of remote radar deployment and management.ย
- Scalability Visionary:ย You lead the building of systems that can handle the data load of a single radar unit as easily as a global fleet of thousands, ensuring the platformย remainsย durable and supportable.ย
- Security-First Mindset:ย You ensure that encryption and identity management are baked into the ingestion pipeline, ensuring that every radar unit is a secure endpoint.ย
- Startup Agility:ย You move fast with aย strong bias toward action,ย maintainingย sound engineering judgment even when building "0 1" systems under tight timelines.ย
ย
What You Doย
- Radar Cloud Integration:ย Act as the technical lead for the cloud resources that ingest, process, and visualize data specifically from our edge radar units.ย
- Cloud Innovation:ย Research and prototype new backend technologies to improve how we manage radarย systems,ย dataย updates, and real-time telemetry at scale.ย
- Secure the Pipeline:ย Define and lead the implementation of rigorous authentication protocols for device-to-cloud communication, ensuring the platform meets high security and data privacy standards.ย
- Partner in Tandem:ย Workย closelyย with the Principal Engineer (Edge IoT) to define the contracts and protocols that bridge the gap between on-radar logic and cloud-side resources.ย
- Technical Mentorship:ย Partner with the Engineering Manager to mentor the team, elevating engineering standards for design clarity and pragmatic practices across the radar-cloud stack.ย
Echodyne's technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant's eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.ย
