## Description

You will contribute to the design and development of next-generation acoustic location services, working directly with a ShotSpotter cofounder who brings deep domain expertise in acoustic science and system design. You will report to the cofounder (Director of Engineering) and work collaboratively with the VP of Engineering on architectural decisions and platform integration. This is life-safety software - your code will directly impact how fast and accurately gunfire is located in real cities., * Decompose and re-architect the monolithic LabVIEW-based location engine into AWS microservices (Lambda, EKS/Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, etc.)

 * Design event-driven pipelines for real-time acoustic data ingestion, multilateration computation, and location refinement
 * Collaborate with the cofounder to implement enhanced location algorithms incorporating 3D urban models to account for sound reflection, diffraction, multipath, and shadowing
 * Integrate geospatial data sources (LiDAR, GIS, 3D city models) into the location computation pipeline
 * Build simulation and back-testing frameworks to validate accuracy improvements against historical incident data
 * Translate legacy LabVIEW signal processing and mathematical logic into maintainable, well-tested, modern codebases
 * Define service boundaries, REST/gRPC APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code
 * Establish observability and monitoring for mission-critical services
