Job description

About Maneva

Maneva, a startup founded by an ex-Google DeepMind researcher, is an AI service provider revolutionizing manufacturing operations with cutting-edge AI solutions for autonomous factory operation and optimization. Our solution generates AI-powered actions and insights using off-the-shelf hardware or existing vision systems for real-impact manufacturing problems in products and equipment inspection, production efficiency, safety, and more.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and sustain high-availability, fault-tolerant real-time systems that power connected industrial environments. You’ll work across both on-premise nodes and cloud backends, ensuring robust integration between hardware interfaces, data pipelines, and production infrastructure.

This role combines deep systems engineering with hands‑on development — ideal for someone who thrives on debugging in production, optimizing low‑latency performance, and building resilient distributed architectures that never go down.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement scalable, maintainable, and fault‑tolerant software for real‑time industrial applications.
• Deploy and debug production systems, ensuring reliability and uptime across edge and cloud environments.
• Integrate with hardware interfaces and manage data pipelines across hybrid environments.
• Lead the design of resilient architectures, including circuit breakers, retries, and failover strategies.
• Implement real‑time monitoring, alerting, and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Own incident response and post‑mortem processes, driving continuous reliability improvements.
• Contribute to CI/CD, automated testing, and system‑level QA to ensure consistent deployments.
• Collaborate with AI, hardware, and infrastructure teams to deliver performant, deterministic systems.

Travel: Up to 15% (primarily Quebec & Ontario, with regular opportunities for U.S. travel)

What You Bring

• 3–7 years of software engineering experience, including production deployment and debugging (not just academic or research projects).
• Proven experience designing and implementing scaled production environments, ideally within remote real‑time or IoT systems.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++, Python, and TypeScript/React.
• Hands‑on experience with Linux‑based development and production environments.
• Solid understanding of networking, storage, and compute resources in on‑prem environments (bare metal, VMs, Kubernetes clusters).
• Experience building low‑latency, deterministic systems with strict timing constraints.
• Familiarity with embedded hardware systems and interfacing software with hardware components.
• Expertise in monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
• Strong skills in testing, CI/CD pipelines, debugging, and performance optimization.

Why Join Maneva?

• Work with cutting‑edge Vision AI & IoT solutions that power autonomous manufacturing, robotics, and industrial automation.
• Opportunity to lead in a fast‑growing AI company driving real‑world impact in industrial AI adoption.
• Travel opportunities to customer sites across Quebec, Ontario, and the U.S., as well as industry events and conferences.
• Collaborate with world‑class engineers, AI researchers, and customer success professionals in a dynamic, innovation‑driven environment.
