About this role

This backend engineering role sits in the product group developing Safie’s web products and cloud video platform. The team builds services used across retail, construction, transportation, manufacturing, and other industries, supporting more than 300,000 connected cameras and large volumes of video data. Engineers contribute from technical specification through implementation and work with other teams to improve product value.

The work includes API development for camera and viewer features, backend development for new products, system re-architecture, partner-facing applications, and architecture for a cloud recording service intended to scale to one million cameras. The role also covers service-cost optimization and reliable operation of large systems. The main stack is Python, Go, Java, and AWS, with MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, and Grafana among the tools. Development generally uses agile methods such as Scrum and Kanban.

Applicants must have experience developing and operating the backend of web services. Experience with Python or Go, AWS or other PaaS environments, authentication, databases, high-traffic systems, and video delivery is welcome but not required. The lead-candidate path also includes team development and project management responsibilities.
