  • Contribute to architecture and technical strategy alongside company leadership
  • Design and implement APIs and backend services to support hardware-software integration

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent and at least 4 years of professional engineering experience.
  • Experience in full stack development for web-based and cloud-native applications
  • Experience working with time-series or real-world sensor data and/or deploying machine learning models in production

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL database systems
  • Experience setting up CI/CD pipelines

Bonus Points

  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
