Job Description

Join a small, collaborative team as a Senior Backend Software Engineer, where you'll design and operate the backend services and cloud infrastructure for advanced radar systems. This high-ownership role allows you to influence architecture, build production systems, and define the engineering foundations of a rapidly evolving platform. You'll work closely with software, hardware, and systems engineers to deliver secure, reliable end-to-end capabilities from sensor to cloud. Enjoy generous benefits, including pre-IPO stock options, unlimited PTO, and fully paid medical, dental, and vision benefits.

  • Design and operate backend services and cloud infrastructure that ingest, process, and deliver mission-critical sensor data at scale.
  • Define infrastructure as code, automate deployments, and continuously improve the platform through modern DevOps practices.
  • Shape the technical direction of the platform, making architectural decisions that support new capabilities, increasing scale, and long-term maintainability.
  • 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 motivated by building technology with meaningful real-world impact
  • Care deeply about reliability, security, scalability, and operational excellence
  • Are eager to learn new technologies and adapt to new technical domains
  • Communicate well and enjoy collaborating across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams
  • Enjoy building scalable backend systems and taking ownership of production services
  • 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
  • Python and modern backend development
  • 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
