Backend / Telemetry Engineer

Role Description

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.

• 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.

Qualifications

• 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.

Requirements

• 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.
