Job description

About Compactica

Compactica is a software company based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, dedicated to pioneering efficient and reliable solutions within the geotechnical and construction space. We have developed and launched a groundbreaking SaaS solution aimed at transforming compaction testing practices at large construction sites. Our technology promises not only to save significant time, money, and risk for our clients but also to enhance the reliability and validity of test results. We are redefining the compaction space.

Our system comprises:

• Field Gear Subsystems: Run on custom single-board computers with cellular connectivity, GPS, and accelerometers. These operate autonomously, unaffected by intermittent internet, to collect and process sensor data. New initiatives include integrating camera sensors for image processing.
• Cloud-Based Systems: Multi-tenant SaaS user interfaces and data services, hosted on bare-metal servers via a cloud provider, delivering near real-time insights.
• Operational Support Systems: Tools to manage clients, hardware, and system performance, with a strong emphasis on data quality and system monitoring.

We’re on the lookout for a talented Intermediate Software Developer to join our dynamic team. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of developing and enhancing innovative projects that position Compactica as a leader in the industry. If you’re passionate about making a tangible impact and independently leading and innovating within our modular, high-performance platform, including new machine learning and AI-driven features, we’d love to hear from you.

Tech Stack

Languages: C# (ASP.NET, Entity Framework), TypeScript (Angular), C (microcontroller code), Python (for ML/AI development).
Tools: Visual Studio (IDE), GitHub (source control), ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).

Techniques:

• Custom code generation for consistent, reliable logic from database to UI.
• Asynchronous, multi-threaded, and parallel processing for high-performance data handling.
• Queueing patterns and HTTP/WebSocket APIs for reliable, high-frequency data transmission.
• Machine learning models for image processing and integration with sensor data (GPS, accelerometers).
• Design patterns inspired by large-scale enterprise systems (healthcare, manufacturing, finance, CRM).

Infrastructure: .NET and Angular for cross-platform compatibility, bare-metal cloud hosting.

The Role

As a Intermediate Software Developer, you’ll lead the development and enhancement of key modules in the Compactica suite, including new ML/AI-driven features. You’ll work closely with our team of engineers and developers to scale our platform, ensuring it remains robust, efficient, and customer-focused.

Responsibilities include:

• Designing and implementing new features for field gear, cloud, and operational subsystems.
• Developing and integrating ML/AI models for image processing from camera sensors on construction vehicles, leveraging existing field gear metrics (e.g., GPS, accelerometer data).
• Optimizing high-performance data processing and real-time communication pipelines.
• Mentoring junior developers and fostering a collaborative, quality-driven culture.
• Troubleshooting complex issues in a multi-user, large-scale data environment.

Who You Are

• Experience: 10+ years building and supporting complex, large-scale systems using Microsoft (C#, .NET) and JavaScript/TypeScript (Angular) stacks. Experience in domains like healthcare, manufacturing, or finance is a plus. Familiarity with ML/AI development (e.g., Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch) is highly desirable.
• Technical Expertise: Proficient in asynchronous programming, parallel processing, APIs (HTTP/WebSocket), and design patterns for scalable systems. Knowledge of ML/AI techniques for image processing and sensor data integration is a strong advantage.
• Problem Solver: A data enthusiast who thrives on solving complex challenges, from system optimization to AI model development.
• Passionate Learner: Invests personal time in exploring new technologies, including ML/AI, and building systems for technical growth.
• Trusted Collaborator: Reliable, communicative, and passionate about delivering systems that customers love and teams take pride in.

Why Join Us?
