Our backend team owns the mission-critical infrastructure of a rapidly growing ecosystem. We are seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to architect, implement, and optimize the core cloud infrastructure powering our Presence Intelligence technology. 

This is not a standard web-app role. You will be the technical linchpin connecting our distributed systems, hardware IoT devices, and cloud-native AI environment. We are looking for an engineer who thrives on building robust API integrations, scalable data ingestion pipelines, and high-throughput, secure capture workflows. If you love the challenge of processing high-velocity edge telemetry and designing for flawless operational excellence, this role is for you!

  • Design and manage robust ingestion pipelines capable of processing high-velocity telemetry and event data from edge devices into our cloud-native AI environment.
  • Implement scalable API integrations and efficient capture workflows ensuring data integrity, low latency, and secure service-to-service communication.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to audit and improve existing infrastructure, ruthlessly focusing on performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
  • Build and maintain proactive monitoring systems to track API health, ingestion throughput, and workflow latency.
  • Champion engineering standards through active participation in code reviews, technical documentation, and mentorship of junior engineers.

Technical Skills & Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in backend engineering, systems architecture, or a relevant software role. (BS/MS in Computer Science or related field preferred).
  • Strong development skills in Go and Python (with JavaScript/TypeScript expertise highly desirable).
  • Extensive experience building and scaling microservices on AWS or GCP, utilizing containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Proven track record with high-throughput streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis, MQTT), both SQL/NoSQL databases, and handling edge-to-cloud connectivity (device provisioning, telemetry ingestion).
  • Demonstrated ability to lead system architecture decisions and a commitment to raising the team's engineering bar.

Key Success Metrics

  • System Performance & Reliability: Achieve high availability, low latency, and optimal throughput for pipelines and microservices.
  • Operational Excellence: Proactive monitoring, efficient debugging, and a measurable reduction in production incidents.
  • Collaboration & Delivery: Timely implementation of features while successfully partnering with Front-End, DevOps, and Product teams.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary tailored to your experience and impact.

About Our Process

We know your time is valuable and we treat it as an investment. We consider the interview process to be a mutual evaluation. If your resume is a match, we'll reach out to schedule a brief 30-minute initial conversation. To ensure both sides get the depth they need without wasting time, our advanced rounds are highly focused: you'll deep-dive with the hiring manager, meet a panel of your engineering peers, and connect directly with our CTO and CEO to discuss the company's long-term vision.

"We have a huge amount of heart, and that energy is contagious. Previously we were primarily an engineering-led team. Since then, we’ve grown into a more product-led organization, which has brought a lot of clarity. As engineers, we trust the product team’s vision and feel empowered to build features that support an incredible product."

Harsha K.

"First off, everyone has been kind and helpful since the moment I started working here. I never feel afraid to ask for guidance and of course, it’s nice to genuinely like the people you work with. I also really appreciate the team's problem-solving attitude. I’ve seen us face some big challenges, and I’ve watched everyone take them on head-first."

"Ubiety gives you the chance to work on technology that makes such a positive impact on many lives. Families in their most vulnerable moments depend on what you’re building to help keep them as proactively safe as possible. It’s something we can all relate to, and it inherently motivates and connects us."
