Senior Software Engineer - IoT Platform

Senior Software Engineer, IoT Platform

Echodyne is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, IoT Platform to join our fast-growing team. The ideal candidate is a technical, hands-on lead engineer who thrives at the intersection of edge computing and cloud-native integration.

About the role

The Senior Software Engineer, IoT Platform will develop and integrate components living on the edge, focusing on how those components interact with AWS cloud services and APIs. They will shepherd local innovation, drive the design and implementation of robust interfaces, and collaborate in tandem with the Principal Cloud Tech Lead to implement contracts and protocols for secure, high-throughput device-to-cloud communication. They will also mentor and coach engineers on the edge team, ensuring high standards for code quality, AWS integration best practices, and pragmatic development.

Required Experience

• Hands-on Edge Development: Strong proficiency in high performance languages like Rust or C++, with a focus on building middleware or services that live directly on hardware/client devices.
• AWS API & Service Expertise: Deep experience working with AWS IoT Core, AWS SDKs, and RESTful APIs. Knowledge of cloud services (e.g., Kinesis, S3, Lambda) from an edge perspective to manage telemetry and state.
• Technical Leadership: Experience as a Lead or Senior Engineer (3+ years in leadership) with a track record of driving a small team to meet delivery commitments.
• Security Fundamentals: Solid understanding of secure coding practices and the implementation of AuthN/AuthZ (e.g., X.509 certificates, IAM roles) and data privacy on edge devices.
• Full-Stack Visibility: Understanding of the tiered software stack, from on-device telemetry and middleware to the cloud-side ingestion layers.
• Bias for Action: Proven ability to move fast and maintain sound engineering judgment in 0 → 1 or rapid R&D environments.

What Sets You Apart

• The Integration Specialist: You don't just write code for the device; you understand the entire data journey, ensuring that edge logic and AWS APIs work in perfect harmony.
• Architectural Empathy: You understand the unique constraints of the edge (latency, bandwidth) and can translate those into actionable integration requirements.
• Low-Ego Ownership: You operate with an impact-driven mindset, taking full accountability for the technical success and reliability of the device-side software.

What You Do

• Develop & Integrate: Act as a technical driver for components living on the edge, specifically focusing on how those components interact with AWS cloud services and APIs.
• Shepherd Local Innovation: Drive the design and implementation of robust interfaces that ensure reliability in "disconnected" or high-latency environments.
• Collaborate in Tandem: Work closely with the Principal Cloud Tech Lead to implement the contracts and protocols required for secure, high-throughput device-to-cloud communication.
• Mentor & Coach: Support the growth of engineers on the edge team, ensuring high standards for code quality, AWS integration best practices, and pragmatic development.
• Anticipate Challenges: Use your hands-on engineering background to identify technical risks early and ensure the edge-to-cloud bridge is durable and secure.
