Software Engineer, Data Assembly

Work at Blissway: Opportunity for Impact Every Day ✨ Blissway is a startup that simplifies toll collection and dramatically improves highway safety. We are multiple startups in one: Deep Tech, AI/ML, Hardware, SaaS, and IoT. For the past five years, we have built a nearly insurmountable technological lead in tolling—an under‑the‑radar industry that is bigger than American football. While our competitors have thousands of employees, we operate with a lean but growing team of less than 30. We’ve stayed under the radar, but our impact is visible on the massive Interstate Highway System connecting every major US metro (except Juneau, AK—sorry, Juneau). You are a good fit if... You love the grind: You take ownership and put in the time to meet deadlines. We are excited when we have a late night install because it means we have a new project launching. You are detail obsessed: You have experience writing code that stands up to the unpredictability of the physical world, where the small details are the difference between success and failure. You are "Fluid": We are a lean team and we flex across functional areas as needed. You will be challenged to learn quickly and figure out what you need to do to be productive. You code really well: We mostly use Python and TypeScript, but we don’t care what you’re most proficient in today—as long as you learn fast. Software Engineer (Data Assembly) The Mission: You are the architect of our data truth. Every byte captured at the edge is a liability until it is assembled, processed, and validated. You will build the high‑frequency pipeline that moves data from the "Road to the Cloud," ensuring precision at a scale of millions of images per day. This role is for the engineer who views a bottleneck as a personal affront. The Tactical Front Road‑to‑Cloud Deployment: Own the full‑stack data lifecycle—from the code running on roadside sensors to the distributed servers receiving the intake. The Assembly Engine: Optimize the logic that determines road usage charges and safety infractions with 99.9% accuracy. Machine Learning: Collaborate with the ML team to pinpoint opportunities for new ML models and integrate them into our process to improve vehicle identification accuracy and speed. Extreme Scaling: Build and maintain data structures capable of processing millions of high‑resolution images daily without breaking a sweat. First‑Principles Engineering: Challenge our current data architecture. If there’s a faster way to assemble a packet, you’re the one to find it. The Bar High‑Stakes Record: You were the "go‑to" person at your last company or the top of your graduating class. You thrive when the stakes are high. Infrastructure Depth: Expert knowledge of distributed systems, data integrity, and high‑volume cloud architecture. Location: Denver, CO. Relocation and visa support available for world‑class talent. Must already be based in the USA to apply. Our Technical Ecosystem (SEO for the curious): While we value problem‑solving over specific syntax, skills that transfer well are: Languages: Typescript, Python, C++, SQL, Bash. Frameworks and Tools: Node.js, Express, NestJS, Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS. Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Linux, IoT Edge Devices. Specialties: Computer Vision (OpenCV), ML Integration, Payment Processing. The Essentials (Health & Wealth) Relocation Support: We are excited for you to join the team at our engineering office in Denver. We value in‑person collaboration and daily team lunches and we provide a relocation bonus to help you get here. Personalized Health Coverage (ICHRA): We don’t believe in one‑size‑fits‑all healthcare. We provide a monthly allowance for you and dependents so you can choose the individual plan that actually fits your life. Investing in Your Future: 401(k) matching up to 4%. Peace of Mind: Transparent compensation. Company‑sponsored life & disability insurance. Early Stage Equity: Competitive equity package with 24‑month exercise window. Every year, we facilitate a tender process that gives you the opportunity to sell your vested shares at the same valuation as our investors. Rest & Recharge High‑Trust Time Off: 4 weeks of untracked PTO. We don't micromanage your calendar; we focus on your impact. Take the time you need to stay sharp and inspired. Family First: 12 weeks of paid parental leave for birth and adoptive parents. We want you present for the moments that matter most. The Deep Breath (Sabbatical): Every 5 years, take 12 weeks of fully paid leave. Go travel, write a book, or master a new hobby—then come back and tell us all about it. Fuel & Community The Blissway Kitchen: Whether it’s breakfast to start your day or our daily group lunches, we keep the team fueled. Snacks Autonomy: Our kitchen is fully stocked and we mean it—if we’re missing your favorite fuel, just add it to the request list. The "BlissTrip": An annual 3–4 day getaway for the team and significant others. Monthly Beats: Game nights, escape rooms, and dinners to celebrate the grit we put in. Continuous Learning: Tuition reimbursement for courses, programs, and conferences that sharpen your craft. #J-18808-Ljbffr
