Software Engineer

Position Summary

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join a high-performance engineering team building scalable, resilient, and low-latency systems. This role will contribute across multiple layers of the platform architecture, from real-time data ingestion services in C++ to higher-level application and control components in Python. This engineer will play a key role in defining inter-service communication, optimizing system performance, and collaborating closely with hardware teams to support specialized imaging and FPGA-based systems.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop core microservices using a polyglot stack including C++, Python, and Java
• Build scalable, maintainable, and high-performance distributed systems
• Define and implement GRPC-based communication contracts and service interfaces
• Develop low-latency C++ services for high-speed data ingestion and BSD socket communication
• Collaborate with Hardware Engineering teams on FPGA/RFSOM interfaces and real-time sensor integrations
• Contribute to Docker-based deployment and containerization strategies
• Support monitoring, logging, testing, and simulation frameworks across the platform
• Develop and utilize replay/simulation tools for system validation and analysis

Required Experience

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong proficiency in at least two of the following: C++, Python, Java
• Experience building distributed systems and microservices architectures
• Hands-on experience with GRPC and asynchronous/event-driven systems
• Familiarity with BSD sockets or other high-performance networking technologies
• Experience with Docker and modern DevOps/containerization practices
• Background designing systems for real-time or high-volume data processing
