Job Description

Join a small, collaborative team as a Backend Software Engineer, where you'll design and operate the secure cloud platform behind advanced radar systems. You'll work closely with software, hardware, and systems engineers to build reliable, resilient, and secure backend services and cloud infrastructure. This high-ownership role allows you to influence architecture, build production systems, and define the engineering foundations of a rapidly evolving platform. Enjoy generous benefits, including pre-IPO stock options, relocation assistance, and unlimited PTO.

  • Design, build, and operate secure, scalable Azure infrastructure that powers distributed radar systems and backend services.
  • Develop high-performance services that ingest, process, and distribute real-time sensor data with low latency, high reliability, and security at scale.
  • Define infrastructure as code, automate deployments, and continuously improve the platform through modern DevOps practices.
  • 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
  • Communicate well and enjoy collaborating across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams
  • Are motivated by building technology with meaningful real-world impact
  • Are eager to learn new technologies and adapt to new technical domains
  • Enjoy building scalable backend systems and taking ownership of production services
  • Care deeply about reliability, security, scalability, and operational excellence
  • Enjoy solving complex cloud infrastructure and distributed systems challenges
  • Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or permanent resident), as required for access to controlled technology
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
  • Python and modern backend development
  • Azure or another major cloud platform
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Kubernetes, containers, and CI/CD
  • Real-time data pipelines or distributed systems
  • Frontend development using modern web technologies (TypeScript/React) or a willingness to work across the stack when needed
