Job description

Fogsphere is a London‑based innovator focused on transforming workplace and urban safety through advanced AI, Computer Vision, and Industrial IoT. Built on a principled “Edge‑to‑Fog‑to‑Cloud” architecture, our platform turns passive CCTV cameras and sensors into proactive hazard detectors, capable of identifying threats like missing PPE, fire, smoke, restricted access violations, and more—in real time and at scale. This helps organizations across industries—from manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, and healthcare to smart cities—reduce workplace accidents by up to 90%, ensure regulatory compliance (EHS), and gain powerful operational insights. Fogsphere’s intuitive no‑code visual workflows, hyper‑scalable Kubernetes‑based infrastructure, and commitment to ethical AI and privacy (GDPR compliance) make it a user‑friendly yet enterprise‑grade solution.

About the Role

We are looking for a Backend Developer who can independently manage, maintain, and evolve Fogsphere’s microservices codebase and proprietary libraries.
You will be responsible for implementing new product features, maintaining and writing database migration scripts, identifying and fixing bugs autonomously, and ensuring high-quality, reliable backend services across our platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and optimize backend microservices powering the Fogsphere platform
• Design and implement new features and integrations in Node.js
• Maintain and write SQL database migration scripts for our relational DB ecosystem (primarily PostgreSQL)
• Debug issues across services and infrastructure with minimal supervision
• Contribute to designing scalable APIs and distributed system components
• Collaborate with DevOps and ML/AI teams to ensure seamless platform operation
• Ensure code quality, reliability, and security across the backend stack
• Participate in architectural discussions related to microservices, performance, and scaling

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Solid experience with PostgreSQL and relational databases
• Good understanding of the TCP/IP stack
• Good knowledge of Linux operating systems and shell workflows
• Excellent hands‑on knowledge of Docker
• Good understanding of Kubernetes (not mandatory, but highly valuable)
• Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of complex backend components

• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge front‑end development challenges in some of the largest deployments in the field.
• Collaborative environment with a team of engineers based in multiple countries.
