Back End Developer
Senior Edge + Backend Software Engineer (Founding Team)
Location: New York, NY (Williamsburg)
Schedule: On-site Monday–Thursday (4 days/week)
Compensation: $180K – $200K base
About the Company
This company is building the world’s first Connectivity Digital Twin — an AI-powered platform that designs and simulates WiFi and cellular network architectures at scale.
This is deep tech, not just LLM wrappers — combining geometric computation, GPU-accelerated simulation, and real-world connectivity intelligence.
Backed by strong investors with active customers and clear growth trajectory, the team is small, experienced, and highly technical. The company operates out of a modern Williamsburg office and offers a highly collaborative, builder-focused environment.
The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Edge + Backend Software Engineer (5–10 years experience) to join the founding team and help build a new hardware + software product from the ground up.
This is a high-impact, ownership-heavy role where you’ll work across edge systems, backend services, and data pipelines to power real-world telemetry and connectivity insights.
What You’ll Do
- Architect and build a production-grade edge agent (Linux-based) that is resilient and self-healing
- Design and own device-to-cloud data flows, schemas, and ingestion pipelines
- Develop and operate Python backend services and APIs
- Work across the full stack — from edge devices → data transmission → backend systems → occasional frontend contributions
- Partner with a small, high-performing team to anticipate system needs and build scalable telemetry infrastructure
- Contribute wherever needed in a true startup environment
What We’re Looking For
Core Requirements
- Strong experience with Python backend development
- Experience working with telemetry data, data pipelines, or device-generated data
- Background in startup environments (ideally Seed to Series A)
- Comfortable working on-site in NYC (4 days/week)
We are intentionally broadening the profile — strong candidates may come from one or more of the following areas:
- Backend / Data Engineering
- Python services, APIs, ingestion pipelines
- Experience with distributed systems or data infrastructure
- Edge / IoT Engineering
- Linux-based systems, embedded devices, or IoT environments
- Experience shipping device-side software
- Systems / Telemetry / Observability
- Metrics, monitoring systems, reliability engineering
- Experience working with high-volume telemetry data
👉 You do not need to have experience across all three areas — strength in one or two is a strong fit.
Tech Stack
- Python
- Linux / OpenWrt
- AWS
- Postgres, Redis
- IoT systems
- Cellular (QMI/MBIM)
- Wi-Fi (nl80211)
Why Join
- Founding-level role with significant ownership and impact
- Work on cutting-edge AI + connectivity infrastructure
- Solve complex, real-world problems involving hardware + software
- Join a high-caliber, experienced team of builders
- Strong funding, real customers, and meaningful traction
- Collaborative, in-person culture in Williamsburg with great perks
