Position Summary

We're hiring a software engineer to build the systems behind our edge sensing and secure-communications products. You'll spend most of your time writing production code, designing services and data pipelines, researching new technologies, and making distributed software run reliably on constrained Linux devices in the real world. This is a builder's role. You'll own technical problems end to end—from rough requirements to shipped, tested, deployable code—and work closely with engineers who live at the intersection of software, networking, and wireless. If you like turning hard, loosely-defined problems into clean systems that actually run in the field, you'll fit here.

What You'll Do

Write production Rust for real-time data ingestion, processing, and device control

Design and build modular services and APIs that span edge devices and backend infrastructure

Build data pipelines that feed analysis and automation

Integrate your software with network stacks, wireless tooling, and external data sources

Implement automation frameworks—rule-based workflows, triggers, and orchestration

Deploy and tune software on resource-constrained Linux systems, and debug system-level, networking, and performance issues when they surface

Prototype quickly and iterate as requirements evolve

Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and field teams to make the whole system work as one

What You Bring

Proficiency in Rust, Python, and Bash

Experience building backend, systems, or distributed software

Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, sockets, packet-level behavior)

Real fluency in Linux—services, processes, debugging, and performance tuning

Ability to work independently and deliver from loosely defined requirements

Additional Eligibility Qualifications

Familiarity with wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, BLE, cellular, SDR)

Experience with edge or embedded systems (e.g., ARM, Jetson, Raspberry Pi)

Working knowledge of C# and/or JavaScript

Exposure to security-focused engineering, red teaming, or penetration testing

Benefits

Comprehensive medical plan options

HSA/FSA accounts

Dental and vision coverage
