About The Position

Echodyne is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, IoT Platform, to join their fast-growing team. This role is for a technical, hands-on lead engineer who thrives at the intersection of edge computing and cloud-native integration. The engineer will lead by example, writing clean, high-performance code while mentoring the engineers on their team. They will be comfortable going deep into on-device logic while simultaneously navigating AWS services to ensure a seamless "edge-to-cloud" connection. The ideal candidate is a builder and a driver, ensuring that the components living on the radar are built with clarity, reliability, and real-world mission constraints in mind.

Requirements

Strong proficiency in high performance languages like Rust or C++, with a focus on building middleware or services that live directly on hardware/client devices.
Deep experience working with AWS IoT Core, AWS SDKs, and RESTful APIs.
Experience as a Lead or Senior Engineer (3+ years in leadership) with a track record of driving a small team to meet delivery commitments.
Solid understanding of secure coding practices and the implementation of AuthN/AuthZ (e.g., X.509 certificates, IAM roles) and data privacy on edge devices.
Understanding of the tiered software stack, from on-device telemetry and middleware to the cloud-side ingestion layers.
Proven ability to move fast and maintain sound engineering judgment in 0 → 1 or rapid R&D environments.
You understand how to leverage cloud services (e.g., Kinesis, S3, Lambda) from an edge perspective to manage telemetry and state.
You understand the unique constraints of the edge (latency, bandwidth) and can translate those into actionable integration requirements.

Responsibilities

Develop & Integrate: Act as a technical driver for components living on the edge, specifically focusing on how those components interact with AWS cloud services and APIs.
Shepherd Local Innovation: Drive the design and implementation of robust interfaces that ensure reliability in "disconnected" or high-latency environments.
Collaborate in Tandem: Work closely with the Principal Cloud Tech Lead to implement the contracts and protocols required for secure, high-throughput device-to-cloud communication.
Mentor & Coach: Support the growth of engineers on the edge team, ensuring high standards for code quality, AWS integration best practices, and pragmatic development.
Anticipate Challenges: Use your hands-on engineering background to identify technical risks early and ensure the edge-to-cloud bridge is durable and secure.
