Responsibilities

Build robust interfaces between edge devices and cloud infrastructure (device enrollment, secure connectivity, configuration, health monitoring, version management)

Partner with embedded/sensor and ML teams to ensure cloud services support model rollout, diagnostics, and quality feedback loops

Define and own the sensor data contract from edge to cloud: telemetry schemas, calibration/firmware metadata, diagnostics, and traceability identifiers

Partner with Sensor Engineering to translate sensor KPIs (noise floor, dynamic range, saturation/clipping, drift, CMRR/gradiometry) into measurable software health checks, alerts, and acceptance tests

Build and maintain tooling for time-synchronized captures (sensor + camera) and dataset packaging to support debugging, labeling, and ML feedback loops

Enable remote diagnostics and field triage by exposing sensor health signals (timing/synchronization, data integrity, self-test status) through APIs, dashboards, and logs

Support manufacturing and deployment workflows by integrating calibration results and production test outputs into cloud services and operational processes

Quickly prototype new features end-to-end (API → service → UI/dashboard if needed), validate with stakeholders, then harden for production

Develop internal tooling to speed debugging, data analysis, and system verification (Python utilities, automated tests, regression harnesses)

Design and build cloud services and APIs that support SafePointe workflows (alerts, event processing, configuration, monitoring, reporting) using Python

Own production deployments: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, environments, release processes, and operational readiness (observability, on-call hygiene, incident response)

Implement secure, scalable data pipelines and storage patterns for device/telemetry/event data; ensure reliability and performance at scale

Write high-quality, well-tested code; lead code reviews; drive pragmatic architecture decisions and technical standards

Produce clear technical documentation (APIs, runbooks, deployment and validation procedures)

Required

6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of production cloud services

Expert-level Python (APIs, services, async/concurrency, testing, performance profiling)

Working proficiency in C++ on Linux (ability to read, debug, and make small-to-medium contributions in a mixed C++/Python edge codebase)

Familiarity with gdb, profiling/perf basics, and debugging concurrency/memory issues on edge systems

Strong experience deploying cloud-based products on AWS/Azure/GCP (or equivalent), including: Containers (Docker), CI/CD, and environment management; Observability (metrics/logs/tracing), reliability practices, incident response

Experience designing RESTful APIs and service integrations (FastAPI/Flask/Django acceptable)

Strong database fundamentals (SQL; Postgres preferred) and production data modeling

Comfort collaborating with embedded/sensor engineers and reasoning about sensor/DAQ constraints (sampling rate, latency, clock sync, data integrity) to design robust software interfaces

Experience working with time-series telemetry and building diagnostic/analysis tools (e.g., Python/numpy/pandas) to support root-cause analysis

Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills; ability to move from prototype to durable production systems

Experience with event-driven systems / streaming (e.g., queues, pub-sub, Kafka/Kinesis, Celery)

Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK), Kubernetes, service security (authN/authZ), and secrets management

Experience building dashboards/ops consoles for configuration and diagnostics

Familiarity with edge/IoT architectures and secure device communications

Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern web frameworks (React/Next.js) for building internal tools or dashboards

Prior work in physical security, safety, or other high-reliability domains
