$190,000 - $210,000

The Company:

Our client is redefining operational safety in the field through cutting-edge robotics and computer vision. Their platform integrates real-time data from edge devices deployed on construction and industrial sites to enhance visual inspections and ensure compliance, reliability, and safety in mission-critical environments.

The Role:

As a Staff Backend Engineer, you’ll lead the design and implementation of systems that power real-time communication between edge devices, cloud infrastructure, and internal tools. You’ll play a key role in building resilient backend services that support robotics workflows in unpredictable, low-connectivity environments.

Key Responsibilities

1. Architect and build robust, scalable backend systems that process and synchronize data from robotics platforms and edge devices
2. Design and maintain APIs for edge-to-cloud communication, focusing on performance, reliability, and security
3. Collaborate closely with robotics and hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration between software services and physical devices
4. Implement systems to manage edge device authentication, telemetry, and data streaming
5. Own cloud infrastructure design and CI/CD processes to ensure fast, reliable deployment in both field and production environments
6. Contribute to the technical strategy around system design and long-term scalability

Requirements

1. Proven experience building backend systems for real-time, distributed applications—ideally those involving hardware or edge computing
2. Strong Python skills with expertise in designing APIs and backend architecture
3. Deep understanding of cloud platforms like AWS and edge computing challenges (e.g., intermittent connectivity, offline-first design)
4. Experience with infrastructure tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform
5. Knowledge of security best practices for device communication and data management
6. Comfortable working cross-functionally with robotics, hardware, and product teams

Compensation and Benefits

The base salary range for this role is $190,000 to $210,000, along with a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
