About

As a Platform Backend Engineer, you’ll work on core systems that ingest, model, and serve real‑time AI insights at industrial scale, building and maintaining infrastructure that powers live factory data.
About the role We’re looking for early‑career engineers who have already built interesting systems, whether on nights and weekends or using AI tools as a core part of their workflow. You’ll write production code that runs fast and matters.
What You’ll Actually Work On
Build and optimize high‑volume, low‑latency ETL pipelines ingesting streaming sensor data.
Design and maintain backend services powering real‑time dashboards and AI model outputs.
Contribute to the automation and alerting layer using AI to catch issues early.
Address data modeling challenges between operational technology and modern infrastructure.
Collaborate with forward‑deployed engineers embedded at client sites.
What We’re Looking For
A portfolio you’re proud of. Side projects, open‑source contributions, AI‑powered tools you built.
Real fluency with AI development tools (agentic workflows, LLM‑assisted pipelines, etc.).
2+ years of professional software engineering experience, or less if your work speaks for itself.
Python as primary language, solid knowledge of at least one other high‑level language.
Strong foundation in data structures and algorithms; exposure to distributed systems.
Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, PostgreSQL).
Comfort with Unix/Linux environments.
Shipped code in a mature codebase and can move existing systems forward without breaking them.
Clear, direct communication.
Nice to Have
Experience with Azure Cloud.
Exposure to ETL or large‑scale data ingestion.
Familiarity with statistical technologies such as R.
Exposure to Industrial IoT or OT environments.
Active GitHub profile that tells a story.
