C++ (Programming Language) Continuous Integration Fault Tolerance Python (Programming Language) ReactJS Backend Information Technology Front End Software Development Api Management

Job description

  • Deliver core platform components: async (Tokio/Rust) backend services, well-defined APIs, and real-time data/event models.

  • Partner closely with React/front-end teams to enable shared components, efficient state management, and system health visualizations.

  • Advance prototypes to production: transform algorithms or domain logic into well-tested, high-performance endpoints with solid observability.

  • Architect for resilience: address intermittent connectivity, graceful degradation, security hardening, and offline scenarios.

  • Drive quality and velocity: refine CI/CD, improve testing (performance, contract/property), and establish clear instrumentation and SLO/error budgets.

  • Mentor and influence: facilitate clear design narratives, code reviews, and integrate product and field feedback into the development lifecycle.

Requirements

  • 7+ years building customer-facing, production-grade software systems.

  • Modern full-stack expertise: React (or equivalent) front-ends and async backend services (Tokio/Rust or similar).

  • Strong experience with modular architectures, documented API contracts, and robust service lifecycles.

  • Designed for real-world constraints: field/defense/automotive deployments or similar high-stakes, performance-critical systems.

  • Hands-on with Python and/or Rust and/or C/C++ for practical, scalable solutions.

  • Skilled collaborator with product, UX, and technical experts; strong communication in cross-functional contexts.

  • Track record mentoring peers and driving technical excellence without direct authority.

  • Familiar with CI/CD practices, observability, and resilient system patterns.
  • B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience
