About The Position

Echodyne is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, IoT Platform, to join their fast-growing team. The ideal candidate is a technical, hands-on lead engineer who thrives at the intersection of edge computing and cloud-native integration. This role involves writing clean, high-performance code, mentoring engineers, and navigating both on-device logic and AWS services for a seamless "edge-to-cloud" connection. The engineer will be responsible for building components on the radar 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 leveraging cloud services (e.g., Kinesis, S3, Lambda) from an edge perspective to manage telemetry and state.
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.

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.
