Job Summary:
SignalFire Wireless Telemetry is a growing company that designs and manufactures advanced industrial wireless telemetry systems. The Principal Engineer & Team Lead for the SignalFire Cloud Platform is responsible for the architecture, backend development, and day-to-day execution of the cloud platform while leading a small engineering team to ensure system performance, scalability, and security.
Responsibilities:
• Own the overall architecture, performance, scalability, reliability, and security of the SignalFire Cloud Platform.
• Design, develop, and enhance cloud features, data pipelines, dashboards, integrations, and supporting infrastructure.
• Serve as the technical authority for the Cloud platform, making architectural decisions that balance customer needs, long-term sustainability, and engineering efficiency.
• Technically lead a small team of cloud engineers; actively contribute to development, conduct code reviews, oversee merge approvals, mentor engineers, and uphold engineering quality standards.
• Drive sprint planning, backlog prioritization, technical execution, and release management to ensure predictable delivery.
• Coordinate with offshore QA to ensure thorough testing, release readiness, and production stability.
• Translate Product and Sales requirements into clear technical plans, estimates, and deliverables.
• Ensure production readiness including uptime, monitoring, alerting, incident response, and cloud governance standards.
• Continuously improve development processes, tooling, documentation, and deployment workflows.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Support, and Operations to align the Cloud platform with business goals.
• Participate in hiring, onboarding, and mentoring cloud engineers as the platform and team scale.
• Provide technical support for escalations and complex production issues.
• Evaluate and recommend improvements to infrastructure, tooling, and system architecture.
• Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of professional software development experience, including significant work on production cloud systems.
• 2+ years technically leading or directly managing software engineers, including code review, technical oversight, delivery accountability, and mentoring.
• Demonstrated ability and willingness to remain hands-on in code, architecture, debugging, and production support while leading others.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience building, operating, and improving AWS-hosted production systems, including infrastructure design, monitoring, deployment, and operational support.
• Advanced proficiency in Python, with experience writing and maintaining backend services.
• 2+ years designing and operating IoT or time-series data systems that ingest, process, store, and visualize high-volume device data.
• Demonstrated experience with MQTT, REST APIs, and device‑to‑cloud data pipelines.
• Strong working knowledge of system reliability, performance, security, and scalability considerations.
• Experience managing Git-based workflows, formal code review processes, and production releases.
• Experience using JIRA (or similar) tools for agile planning, backlog management, and delivery tracking.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with Product, Sales, Support, and Operations teams.
Preferred:
• Experience with industrial IoT, telemetry systems, or hardware‑adjacent cloud platforms. Familiarity with Ignition (Inductive Automation), SCADA platforms, or industrial visualization systems.
• Experience designing customer‑facing dashboards, alarms, and configuration tools.
• Experience scaling cloud platforms and engineering teams as product usage and customer demand grow.
