Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a software engineering role building products, ideally in a fast‑paced environment
• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering or related technical degree
• Experience working with large enterprise applications and platforms with high data consistency and availability requirements
• Proficiency with web‑based technologies such as Javascript, React, Typescript, and web frameworks such as Remix or NextJS
• Ability to empathize with end‑users, to turn needs into features, and to balance user experience with engineering constraints
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data

Preferred Qualifications

• Willingness to work with the team on‑site on a rotation for shift 2 (≈3 pm – 11 pm)
• Expertise in data infrastructure, API design, IoT protocols, and edge computing architectures
• Experience in hyper‑growth startup‑like environments, with demonstrated success in scaling and maturing software development processes
• Experience with edge computing – systems that bridge IT and OT domains, ensuring reliability, security, and scalability
