Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Design, implement, and optimize backend services that power the RTK Corrections Network and customer-facing APIs.
- • Build and evolve API-first services that are clear, well-documented, and reliable for internal and external developers.
- • Break down high-level goals into concrete tasks, schedules, and milestones, and hold yourself accountable for delivering against them.
- • Drive performance and efficiency improvements across the request path - latency, throughput, and cost.
- • Ensure the service stack is well-structured, maintainable, and built to last as the product and customer base grow.
- • Own the ingestion, processing, and distribution of GNSS correction data from reference stations to devices in the field.
- • Design streaming and connectivity paths (e.g., NTRIP and similar protocols) that deliver corrections reliably and at low latency.
- • Expand network capacity and coverage as new regions, stations, and customers come online.
- • Design for high availability, graceful degradation, and recovery under partial failure.
- • Own observability - metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting - so issues are caught and resolved before customers feel them.
- • Identify and resolve bottlenecks and reliability risks early, particularly as traffic and scale grow.
- • Engage directly with evolving customer needs and translate them into well-designed, durable technical solutions.
- • Collaborate with embedded, firmware, infrastructure, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable end-to-end systems.
- • Surface technical risks and tradeoffs early so architecture and delivery decisions reflect real-world constraints.
- • Design and maintain rigorous testing strategies across backend services and the correction pipeline.
- • Treat test coverage as a first-class engineering responsibility - ensuring the team and customers have confidence in every release.
- • Identify gaps in coverage proactively, particularly as new services, protocols, or customer configurations are added.
🎯 Requirements
- • 7+ years of professional software development, with significant depth in backend or distributed systems.
- • Proven ability to design, build, and operate production backend services and APIs at scale - from architecture through deployment and on-call ownership.
- • Proven ability to decompose high-level goals into actionable tasks, realistic schedules, and clear milestones - with a track record of delivering on commitments.
- • Strong proficiency in a backend language such as Go, Java, or Python.
- • Deep understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, TLS, HTTP) and experience building low-latency, high-throughput services.
- • Experience designing and operating distributed systems - availability, scaling, and observability.
- • Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar), containers, and CI/CD.
- • Experience designing and owning testing and verification strategies for complex systems.
- • BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive salary and benefits package.
- • Opportunities for growth and advancement within the company.
- • Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
- • Access to cutting-edge technology and tools.
- • Flexible work arrangements, including remote work options.
- • Professional development opportunities, including training and education assistance.
