Job summary

Cisco's Smart Camera team is seeking a backend-focused software engineer to scale cloud video streaming, exports, and cloud storage services used by global retail partners. You’ll design high-performance APIs, implement backend services, and contribute across the stack when needed.

You’ll work with AWS to ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and observability, owning features from design through production.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) with 3+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 2+ years.
• Experience in production Go, TypeScript, or an equivalent statically-typed language; and in a scripting language like Ruby (preferred) or Python.
• Experience in backend software including REST-ful API design and relational databases.
• Experience with distributed systems, microservices architecture, and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Experience applying AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude) to accelerate velocity and code quality.

Responsibilities

• Architect & Scale: Build and maintain robust services for cloud video streaming, exports, and cloud video storage.
• API & Backend Design: Design and implement high-performance APIs and backend services integrated into the Meraki Dashboard.
• Cloud-Native Engineering: Develop scalable solutions on AWS with a rigorous focus on high availability, fault tolerance, and system performance.
• Full-Stack Agility: While your primary focus is backend engineering, you will demonstrate the versatility to contribute across the full stack, including UI components and firmware interactions as needed.
• End-to-End Ownership: Own your services from design through deployment, including comprehensive testing, instrumentation, and production observability.
• Leadership & Incident Management: Drive the resolution of complex production issues, lead post-mortems, and author root-cause analyses to improve system resilience.
• Strategic Collaboration: Partner with Product Managers and partner teams to define requirements, architecture, and long-term project roadmaps.
