Software Engineer – IOT

Data Engineer Data Scientist 5-10 Years Exp
Job Location: South San Francisco, CA

Location: Remote (US Time Zones)
Work Hours: Must be available during US business hours (East Coast preferred)
Travel: ~20% for on-site troubleshooting and deployment
Salary: $160K to $190K
Equity: Have a stake in the business you’re helping to build and grow
Work Policy: This role is primarily remote. Live and work wherever you’re happiest and most productive

We’re looking for a backend engineer who’s operated at the edge, literally. If you’ve managed fleets of connected Linux-based devices, built tools to monitor and stabilize thousands of endpoints, and still write clean, production-grade Python, you’re who we want

This is a role for someone who owns uptime, sees logs before dashboards, and isn’t afraid to ssh into broken boxes to figure it out. You’re not just building apps. You’re building the operational backbone that keeps hardware in the field alive and accountable

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing and scaling large IoT fleets (1000 plus devices)
• Building backend systems using Python and SQL that handle real world network noise, failure states, and system health
• Working with protocols like NATS Jetstream and MQTT for device messaging and command and control
• Creating internal tools and monitoring pipelines that give teams real signal from noisy environments
• Interfacing with Linux systems at the operational level using journalctl, dmesg, systemd
• Troubleshooting remotely but flying in when it matters

What You Bring

• 5 plus years of professional software engineering experience with clear backend and IoT relevance
• Strong Python and SQL skills, not just scripts, but maintainable, deployable code
• Familiarity with observability tooling like DataDog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Grafana
• Deep comfort working with Linux in production environments
• Track record of building infrastructure and tools that scale and survive

Not a Fit If…

• Your experience is mostly enterprise Java or Spring Boot pipelines
• You haven’t touched a terminal in years
• You’re more interested in writing abstractions than building operational resilience

This is a backend role with real world consequences. You’ll be part of a tight technical team building resilient systems that make distributed hardware just work, no matter what the environment throws at it

Apply now if you’re the kind of engineer who prefers logs over guesses and systems that heal themselves

Here’s the deal
 
We’ve built the first product of its kind for live sport already in stadiums, already generating revenue, and scaling fast. Now we need a hands-on engineer who can own the next hardware + firmware release end to end.
 
What you’ll tackle
  • Take charge of the MCU-based design: schematics, layout, bring-up, test.
  • Drive low-level C development, from board support through to production firmware.
  • Work with founders and field teams to turn game-day feedback into rock-solid features without slipping the schedule.
  • Keep the design docs tidy, the risk list honest, and the build pipeline humming.
Must-haves
  • 5–10 + years shipping embedded products that made it to paying customers.
  • Comfort wearing both hats, electronics design and C firmware.
  • A habit of spotting trade-offs early and calling them out in plain English.
  • Happy to follow a formal process when it matters, and to sprint when the clock is ticking.
  • Deadline-driven, “let’s just get it done” mindset.
  • On-site presence (Adelaide) – this hardware doesn’t debug itself over Zoom.
Nice-to-haves
  • You’ve delivered under tight broadcast or live-event timelines.
  • You’re a sports nut who knows the buzz of a packed stadium.
  • You like mentoring juniors and leaving a trail of clear docs behind you.
Why join
  • Structured bonus: ~AUD 5 k each year for meeting the plan.
  • Upside: uncapped discretionary rewards—our last big push saw the team pocket AUD 20 k each.
  • Direct line to the founders, zero corporate layers, and the thrill of seeing your work on screen before the final whistle.
Sound like you?
