What You’ll Do
- Backend Architecture: Design, develop, and maintain the core backend systems supporting our data and simulation applications. Ensure robust, scalable, and secure server-side functionality to handle massive volumes of vehicle telemetry, analysis compute, and relational database management.
- API Design & Integration: Build and manage high-performance APIs (REST, GraphQL, or gRPC) to enable seamless data exchange between internal microservices, external partner systems, and our front-end interfaces.
- Data Management & Pipelines: Implement efficient data storage, retrieval mechanisms, and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines to support complex data processing and analytics. Ensure data integrity, security, and compliance with industry standards.
- Performance & Scalability: Optimize server performance for low latency and high throughput. Identify and resolve systemic bottlenecks, optimize database queries, and ensure cloud infrastructure scales efficiently under load.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Architect and manage scalable cloud deployments utilizing 'infrastructure as code' (IaC) techniques to maintain reliable and repeatable environments.
- Testing & Debugging: Develop and execute comprehensive testing plans (unit, integration, and load testing) to ensure backend reliability and resilience. Troubleshoot and resolve complex system issues and bugs promptly.
- Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams—including embedded systems engineers, data scientists, and front-end developers—to deliver cohesive software solutions and practice continuous improvement.
- Documentation: Create and maintain detailed, up-to-date documentation of system architecture, data models, and APIs to ensure clarity and long-term maintainability.
