Senior Full Stack Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Build scalable backend APIs and microservices using Python and C++ within an event-driven architecture for real-time orchestration operations
• Design and implement event-driven data pipelines that process telemetry, sensor feeds, and mission data from heterogeneous vehicle fleets using publish/subscribe patterns
• Develop responsive operator interfaces using React for mission planning, fleet coordination, and system monitoring
• Create WebSocket-based communications for low-latency operator interactions with autonomous systems
• Build data transformation and aggregation services that prepare autonomous system data for operator consumption
• Implement secure, role-based access controls and authentication systems for multi-user mission control environments
• Design and maintain database schemas and query optimization for high-throughput operational data
• Collaborate with autonomy engineers to integrate vehicle control systems and sensor data streams
• Support integration with diverse autonomous platforms through RESTful APIs, ROS2 topics, and message queuing systems
• Ensure application resilience and performance through comprehensive testing, monitoring, and deployment automation
