The Opportunity

At Iru, we are redefining enterprise IT and security by building a unified, AI-powered device management platform. As a Senior Software Engineer on our IT Products team, you will build the core, high-throughput backend infrastructure that remotely configures, patches, and secures millions of endpoints from macOS and Windows laptops to iOS and Android devices worldwide.

The IT Products teams own the critical, real-time communication pipeline between our platform and the devices themselves. You will tackle complex challenges in distributed systems, handling massive influxes of device telemetry and building automated, event-driven workflows that allow IT admins to manage their entire fleet from a single console. If you want to build deep highly performant systems where your code directly secures and orchestrates enterprise hardware at scale, this is your opportunity.

How You'll Make a Difference Day to Day

• Build and Maintain Service Architecture: Architect and implement reliable, scalable backend services to support our device management platform, with a heavy focus on backend engineering (~70% of the role).


• Power Real-Time Device Orchestration: Own and evolve our asynchronous service communication, configuration distribution, and telemetry pipelines using Kafka to handle high-velocity device state changes.


• Optimize Database Performance: Write clean, high-performance database queries to interact directly with our relational databases, ensure maximum query efficiency, speed, and visibility into device inventories.


• Leverage Modern Dev Workflows: Lean into AI-assisted development tools to accelerate your workflow, while maintaining a rigorous standard for self-reviewing code so as not to bog down the team’s pipeline.


• Drive Infrastructure Improvements: Partner with the infrastructure team to evolve CI/CD pipelines, agent distribution networks, and service deployment patterns.


• Mentor and Lead by Example: Lead technical development with knowledge of up-to-date best practices, and guide other engineers through code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical decision-making.


• Design for Scalability and Resilience: Build systems that handle massive device fleet growth gracefully and are resilient to failure across distributed global environments.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a heavy leaning toward backend web development.


• Expertise in Python and TypeScript: Strong, professional proficiency in Python and TypeScript is required.


• Python Framework Experience: Production experience building APIs and services with FastAPI, Django, or Flask.


• Full-Stack Capability: Comfort or exposure to frontend architecture like React to handle the ~30% frontend needs of the platform's administrative consoles.


• Experience working with event-driven architectures and message brokers, with Kafka being a strict requirement.


• Deep understanding of service-oriented architecture, microservices, and handling high-concurrency connections.


• Pragmatic approach to AI-assisted development (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.), knowing how to use it to move faster, while possessing the senior-level debugging skills to review and validate generated code before it hits peer review.


• Prior experience in a fast-paced environment.


• Proficiency with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.


• Hands-on experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation.


• Strong experience with peer code reviews, offering and receiving constructive feedback.


• Experience with E2E testing systems like Playwright or Selenium.


• Experience with observability tools including distributed tracing, logging, and monitoring using tools such as DataDog.


• On-Site Requirement: Ability to work on-site in our Coral Gables office Tuesday through Thursday.
