Backend Software Engineer
Posted
Summary
Backend Software Engineer building secure Azure cloud platform for advanced radar systems: design/operate backend services ingesting real-time sensor data, infrastructure as code (Terraform), Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cross-functional collaboration with hardware/systems engineers. Core tech: Python, Azure, distributed systems.
- You’ll join a small, highly collaborative team building the secure cloud platform behind some of the world’s most advanced radar systems
- Working alongside software, hardware, and systems engineers, you’ll design and operate the backend services and cloud infrastructure that ingest, process, and deliver mission-critical sensor data at scale
- The systems you build must be reliable, resilient, secure, and performant—enabling operators to depend on them in the environments where they matter most
- This is a high-ownership role where you’ll influence architecture, build production systems, and help define the engineering foundations of a rapidly evolving platform
- We’re looking for engineers who enjoy solving hard infrastructure problems, scaling distributed systems, and building software that performs under demanding real-world conditions
- Cloud Platform – Design, build, and operate secure, scalable Azure infrastructure that powers distributed radar systems and backend services
- Backend Services – Develop high-performance services that ingest, process, and distribute real-time sensor data with low latency, high reliability, and security at scale
- Infrastructure & Automation – Define infrastructure as code, automate deployments, and continuously improve the platform through modern DevOps practices
- Reliability & Operations – Own observability, monitoring, resiliency, and operational readiness, ensuring production systems remain secure, scalable, and dependable in demanding environments
- Platform Architecture – Help shape the technical direction of the platform, making architectural decisions that support new capabilities, increasing scale, and long-term maintainability
- Cross-Functional Integration – Partner closely with software, hardware, and systems engineers to deliver secure, reliable end-to-end capabilities from sensor to cloud
Benefits
- Generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance + (coming soon!) annual bonuses
- Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO (for exempt employees), casual dress code
- Life, FSA, HSA, 401k (+ Company match), and more
- Medical, dental and vision benefits will be 100% paid for by the company
- We’re looking for exceptional backend and cloud engineers who are excited by solving hard technical problems and building systems that matter
- You don’t need experience with every technology we use—we value strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly
- Enjoy solving complex cloud infrastructure and distributed systems challenges
- Are eager to learn new technologies and adapt to new technical domains
- Enjoy building scalable backend systems and taking ownership of production services
- Communicate well and enjoy collaborating across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams
- Care deeply about reliability, security, scalability, and operational excellence
- Are motivated by building technology with meaningful real-world impact
- Python and modern backend development
- Experience in one or more of the following is a plus:
- Azure or another major cloud platform
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Kubernetes, containers, and CI/CD
- Frontend development using modern web technologies (TypeScript/React) or a willingness to work across the stack when needed
- Real-time data pipelines or distributed systems
