Software Engineer (Web App & Cloud Services)

Neuron Industries Inc.; Gardena (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Neuron Industries Inc. is seeking a senior backend engineer to design and own cloud-backed services for Cortex controllers and Synapse, our development environment for industrial machines.

You’ll craft robust APIs, data models, and telemetry pipelines, while ensuring reliability and observability across a growing user base. You’ll work with founders and embedded engineers to ship features in TypeScript/React, deploy via CI/CD, and turn machine workflows into practical cloud capabilities.

Qualifications

• Experience owning production backend services in a scalable system.
• Ability to design APIs and data models for cross-service communication.
• Proven track record delivering software from design to deployment.

Responsibilities

• Architect backend services and cloud systems for device connectivity and data.
• Develop reliable APIs and data models to support growth.
• Build telemetry ingestion, storage, and querying with reliability considerations.
• Own production reliability and observability, addressing incidents with data-driven fixes.
• Deliver TypeScript/React features for deployment, monitoring, and debugging.

Job description

About the role

You’ll build the backend and cloud architecture connecting Cortex controllers to Synapse, our development environment for industrial machines. Your work will span APIs, device connectivity, telemetry pipelines, data storage, and the application features engineers use to deploy, monitor, and debug their systems.

We’re looking for strong backend and distributed systems judgment, backed by hands-on software delivery. You’ll make decisions about how services communicate, how data moves, and how the system behaves as usage grows. You’ll also build the frontend features needed to deliver a complete product experience. Working directly with the founders and embedded team, you’ll own software from design through deployment, operation, and improvement.

Gardena, CA • Full-time • On-site five days a week

What you’ll build

• Architect backend services and cloud systems for controller connectivity, application state, and industrial data, with clear paths to thousands or millions of users and devices.
• Develop reliable APIs, data models, and service boundaries that support growth without making the early product unnecessarily complex.
• Build telemetry ingestion, storage, and querying, with explicit decisions about throughput, latency, consistency, and failure handling.
• Own production reliability and observability; investigate incidents and remove bottlenecks using measured evidence.
• Deliver TypeScript/React features in Synapse for deployment, monitoring, debugging, and working with machine data.
• Ship tested software through CI/CD with clear rollout, rollback, and recovery paths.
• Work with customers and embedded engineers to turn real machine workflows into useful application and cloud capabilities.

What you’ve already proven

• Strong engineering depth demonstrated through personal architecture ownership in a production system scaled from an early product to thousands or millions of users or devices.
• You’ve designed, implemented, and operated production backend services and can explain your personal contribution and technical decisions.
• Strong networking, API design, database, concurrency, and distributed systems fundamentals.
• You can explain a production bottleneck or failure you resolved, the evidence you used, and the resulting improvement.
• Depth in a backend language such as Go, Rust, Python, or C++, and the ability to deliver application features in TypeScript/React.
• You use automated testing, instrumentation, and operational feedback to improve the systems you own.
• You can turn incomplete requirements into useful software and communicate tradeoffs across reliability, performance, cost, and delivery speed.

What gets you here faster

• Connected device fleets, industrial telemetry, or cloud services supporting physical systems.
• Developer tools, IDEs, simulation, or production AI features.
• Ownership across backend architecture and frontend workflows in an early product.
