About the job
Build backend systems that ingest physical sensor and hardware data, integrate and normalize it for TyrOS, and support tracking and sensor-fusion capabilities.
What you'll do
- Build and operate production systems and pipelines that ingest, process, and expose data from sensors, devices, and hardware.
- Develop hardware integrations and tracking or sensor-fusion capabilities that correlate detections into tracked entities.
- Collaborate across engineering, product, and operational teams; deploy and test software in unclassified and classified environments and troubleshoot production issues.
What they ask for
- 4+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production systems.
- Hands-on experience integrating software with physical hardware, sensors, or device-generated data, including personally building direct hardware data-ingestion systems.
- Proficiency in Python or Go, plus a strong backend foundation in services, APIs, data pipelines, and production systems.
- Ability to work with messy or poorly documented interfaces and data, and to operate with limited structure as an early hire.
Nice to have
- Experience with sensor fusion, multi-sensor correlation, or object tracking.
- Experience in hardware-software environments, defense or government data, constrained environments, radar, embedded pipelines, telemetry, or an active Secret-level-or-higher security clearance.
