Senior Backend Architect: Cloud-to-Edge, Data at Scale

Analog; Abu Dhabi; On-site; AED 400,000 - 650,000; Full time

Job summary

Analog is building the connective tissue between humans, cities, and technology from a single office in Abu Dhabi. You will architect backend systems that move data reliably between our cloud systems and edge/device environments, across multiple network protocols, with real failure tolerance baked in.

We are looking for a senior engineer who has owned large-scale, in-production backend systems, and who can make core design decisions with minimal guidance.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of backend experience with ownership of large-scale, in-production systems.
• Fluent in at least two of Java, Python, Kotlin; able to reason across all three.
• Proven track record of driving system design and architecture decisions.
• Real experience with cloud services and edge compute; moving data reliably across protocols.
• Strong experience with containerized development and cloud-to-edge deployment patterns.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and making the call without a large team.

Responsibilities

• Architect backend systems moving data reliably between cloud and edge environments, across multiple network protocols, with real failure tolerance.
• Make core design calls on containerization and cloud-to-edge deployment patterns for resilient systems.
• Partner with engineers building the physical and product side to define backend support needs.
• Diagnose and fix hard production issues (latency, dropped connections, data consistency in unreliable links).
• Raise the technical bar for the backend team as we scale, through hands-on work.
