# Software Engineer, Systems Architecture

- **Company:** Valinor Enterprises, Inc.
- **Location:** Boston, MA, United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing, Continuous Integration, DevOps, Embedded Software, Firmware, Python (Programming Language), Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Signal Processing, Software Requirements Analysis, Systems Architecture, TypeScript, Data Processing, Data Ingestion, ReactJS, Backend, Apache Kafka, Front End Software Development, Data Pipelines
- **Published:** September 17, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=013745071ddf0bc1

## About the Role

* Architecture contribution, ready to lead: you've been part of a small team that designed and built a system with real architectural stakes - edge/embedded software, sensor or data pipelines, or similar - and you're ready to own that kind of system yourself for the first time.
 * Data pipeline and storage experience: comfortable designing and operating time-series data systems and message-based ingestion pipelines (MQTT, Kafka, or equivalent), including handling for intermittent/unreliable connectivity.
 * Full-stack range: comfortable moving between backend/data pipeline work (Python, Go, or similar) and frontend (React/TypeScript) without needing a specialist for each; enough familiarity with embedded/edge constraints to architect around them, even if you're not writing firmware yourself.
 * At least one sensing/signal domain: hands-on experience with at least one of acoustic, EO/IR, or radar signal processing or detection - and genuine excitement to pick up the others as the product grows into them.
 * Cloud infrastructure ownership: able to stand up and maintain CI/CD and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred; GovCloud experience a plus) without a dedicated DevOps function yet in place.
 * Step-up temperament: proven ability to build and rebuild quickly with loose specs, and comfort taking ownership of a decision you'd previously have brought to someone else.

Strongly Preferred

 * TAK (or similar government system) integration experience: hands-on work integrating with TAK (ATAK/WinTAK/TAK Server) or a comparable government C2/situational-awareness system is a significant plus.
 * Applied ML experience, particularly anomaly detection or pattern-of-life modeling.
 * Prior experience in defense or dual-use tech, including familiarity with the general shape of DoD software requirements (security, data handling, eventual ATO/RMF processes).
 * Geospatial visualization experience (Mapbox, Cesium, deck.gl, or similar).
 * Prior experience on an autonomous systems, robotics, or maritime/subsea platform.

## Description

We're looking for a software engineer to own the architecture, data handling, and product layer of the software stack at one of Valinor's product companies, currently in stealth. The system turns raw sensor data into a usable, trusted picture for the end user. You'll work directly with the General Manager and alongside a small team of engineers to rapidly develop a new product. You'll also partner with product enablement at the Valinor Hub to stand up infrastructure and management.
