You'll work alongside specialists in automation, sensor fusion, and distributed systems to solve complex challenges in a modern DevOps environment.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a few years of experience who wants to take ownership of major features and help drive architectural and system-level improvements in a fast-moving, impactful platform.

RESPONSIBILITES:

• Design and develop backend services using FastAPI, Kafka, PostgreSQL, and Docker.
• Build and maintain frontend interfaces using React, TypeScript, and real-time visual components (e.g., WebSockets, Mapbox).
• Create and maintain REST APIs and Kafka consumers for automation and alerting workflows.
• Integrate a wide range of devices and sensors (e.g., PTZ cameras, LiDAR, radar, drones) into reusable service modules.
• Contribute to component design, service orchestration, and data modeling.
• Participate in sprint planning, peer reviews, and CI/CD deployment workflows.
• Debug, test, and optimize both backend and frontend features.
• Collaborate using Git, GitHub, Jira, Confluence, and automated build pipelines.
• Work is typically based in a remote environment and subject to frequent interruptions. Business work hours are Monday-Friday standard core hours, however some extended or weekend hours may be required.
• Other duties as assigned.

    • OAuth/JWT authentication flows (e.g., via Keycloak, Auth0)
    • Real-time systems: WebSockets, pub/sub architectures
    • IoT, robotics, or physical device integrations
    • CI/CD tooling: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Kubernetes
