About Role
We are expanding our Team and are looking for a Backend / Telemetry Engineer to build the cloud systems that support connected physical devices and real-world deployments. This is a backend role for someone who wants to work on machine data, events, fleet infrastructure, dashboards, APIs, and operational systems.
Responsibilities:
Build backend services for telemetry, device state, events, dashboards, and partner integrations.
Design data models for machines, locations, users, events, status, diagnostics, and operational activity.
Build APIs for edge devices, internal tools, dashboards, and AI workflows.
Implement event ingestion pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and audit logs.
Work with embedded engineers on device-to-cloud protocols.
Work with product and business teams to define the data needed for demos, pilots, and customer reporting.
Support security, reliability, observability, and scalability from the beginning.
Requirements:
Strong backend engineering experience.
Experience building production systems, APIs, databases, event pipelines, or telemetry platforms.
Strong programming ability in TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, Rust, or similar.
Experience with relational databases, time-series data, queues, event streaming, or cloud infrastructure.
Understanding of authentication, authorization, logging, monitoring, and secure system design.
English fluency required.
Must Haves:
Experience with IoT, fleet management, retail technology, payments-adjacent systems, kiosks, robotics, or industrial systems.
Experience with high-volume event ingestion or real-time monitoring.
Experience with dashboards, analytics, alerting, field-service tools, or operational reporting.
Experience with transaction-like event flows, reconciliation, audit trails, or financial-grade data systems.
Success in the first 90 days:
You build the first reliable telemetry backend for prototypes and pilots.
Devices can register, send events, report health, and expose useful data.
The team has clear data models and APIs.
You create observability that makes field debugging possible.
Success in the first 6-12 months:
The backend supports multiple pilot environments and connected devices.
The platform can show machine status, operational events, diagnostics, and performance data.
You become a key owner of the data and telemetry platform.
