About the role
- You'll join us in our mission to bring 21st-century software to the sustainment domain: modernizing inventory management, transportation optimization, and operational planning with state-of-the-art user experiences.
- You'll work closely with a team of experienced engineers, product leaders, and operational experts who care deeply about delivering real-world impact.
- As our Backend Software Engineer for Sensors and Integrations, you will be the first engineer dedicated to this workstream within TyrOS.
Responsibilities
- Build and own production-grade backend systems that ingest data directly from physical sensors, devices, and hardware platforms.
- Develop integrations for a range of sensor and hardware systems, working with clean APIs where available and finding reliable ways to extract data where interfaces are incomplete, poorly documented, or nonexistent.
- Design services and data pipelines that normalize, process, and make sensor data available within TyrOS.
- Build and improve tracking and sensor-fusion capabilities that correlate detections from multiple sources into a single tracked entity.
- Collaborate with platform engineers, product teams, and operational stakeholders to translate sensor and tracking requirements into dependable software.
- Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews, contributing to a culture of engineering rigor, ownership, and mission focus.
- You will also help develop tracking and sensor-fusion capabilities that correlate detections from multiple sources into a coherent view of a single entity or object.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in software engineering, with demonstrated experience building and operating production software systems.
- Proficiency in Python or Go.
- Strong backend software engineering foundation, including experience designing services, APIs, data pipelines, and production systems.
- Ability to work effectively with messy, incomplete, or poorly documented hardware interfaces and data formats.
- Genuine software development experience-this role requires someone who writes and ships production code, not someone whose experience is primarily interpreting signals, configuring systems, or analyzing their output.
- Comfort operating as an early or first hire in a new function with limited existing structure, internal expertise, or established processes.
- Experience with sensor fusion, multi-sensor correlation, object tracking, or related algorithms.
- Experience at a company operating at the intersection of hardware and software, such as autonomous systems, drones, radar, aerospace, satellites, robotics, or defense technology.
- Familiarity with defense or government sensor, signal, or tracking data.
- Experience working with radar systems, embedded data pipelines, telemetry, or other real-time hardware-generated data.
- Hands-on experience integrating software with physical hardware, sensors, or device-generated data streams.
- Experience personally building systems that ingest data directly from hardware-not only consuming data that has already been processed or exposed through a third-party service.
- Strong sense of ownership and a bias for action.
- Experience building software for classified, disconnected, degraded, or operationally constrained environments.
