As a Software Engineer on this team, you will design, develop, and operate core cloud services that support millions of devices and users worldwide. You'll be joining a high-impact group that owns the foundation for current and next‑generation Wyze products. You’ll work closely with mobile, firmware, data, and product teams to evolve our platform as we take on new device types, new AI experiences, and increased global scale. If you like thinking in terms of SLAs, latency budgets, and failure modes (and then actually shipping the thing), this role is for you. You’ll be excited about this role if you want to: Design APIs and microservices that are easy to evolve, safe to change, and simple for other teams to adopt. Tackle real distributed systems challenges - fan‑out/fan‑in workloads, spikes from product launches, regional failover, and more. Balance reliability, performance, and cost in a high‑volume, customer‑facing environment. Own services end‑to‑end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and observability.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in backend development with Java, Go, or Python
• Hands-on experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and cloud-native architectures (microservices, containers, managed services)
• Strong knowledge of microservices and distributed systems (scalability, resilience, consistency, and latency)
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB, etc.), including schema design and query optimization
• Strong problem-solving skills, solid understanding of systems and networking fundamentals, and the ability to debug complex issues in production
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced, iterative environment, collaborate cross‑functionally with product/firmware/mobile/data teams, and take ownership of projects from design to delivery

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools is a strong plus

Responsibilities

• Design and develop highly scalable, highly available cloud services using Java (Spring Boot) and cloud-native technologies.

• Own services end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production operations.
• Ensure reliability, observability, and performance through robust monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions.
• Implement and enforce security best practices across authentication, authorization, data access, and service communication.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve production incidents and performance bottlenecks, driving root cause analysis and preventive fixes.
