About the Role
As a Staff Software Engineer at Project Q GmbH, you will directly impact the technical direction of our orchestration products, Hydris and its underpinning interoperability API. You will work on integrating heterogeneous real-world systems into a tactical IoT backbone, addressing challenges in distributed systems, protocols, and data modeling within constrained and intermittently connected environments. This role is hands-on and requires shaping product development and technical strategy.
Responsibilities
- Design and build the core engine systems for Hydris.
- Own the architecture of systems running reliably on edge hardware, in disconnected mesh networks, and at scale.
- Evolve the schema defining sensor, asset, and mission system communication with Hydris.
- Make API design decisions for client libraries.
- Refine the integration framework for connecting new sensor types, data sources, and command systems.
- Set patterns for built-in integrations (ADS-B, AIS, ASTERIX, Meshtastic, SpaceTrack, TAK, federation).
- Enable external developers and system vendors to build plugins/integrations for Hydris.
- Architect the peer-to-peer mesh and federation layer for disconnected, denied, intermittent, and limited-bandwidth environments.
- Solve coordination problems like conflict resolution, eventual consistency, and track correlation.
- Ensure graceful system degradation during connectivity loss.
- Set technical standards for testing distributed behavior, protocol versioning, and backward compatibility.
- Review code for long-term maintainability and operational correctness.
- Make build-versus-integrate decisions and communicate trade-offs.
Requirements
- Have built and shipped distributed systems that run in production, ideally in environments where reliability matters more than convenience.
- Are comfortable working across the stack, from Protobuf schema design and systems-level Go, to TypeScript.
- Have well-formed views about API design and protocol evolution, informed by experience maintaining APIs that other people depend on.
- Can operate effectively with a high degree of autonomy but are adept at collaboration toward high-quality technical decisions.
- Are interested in contributing to European military, maritime, and critical infrastructure defence systems.
- Write clearly and communicate architectural decisions effectively.
- Candidates must already be eligible to work in Germany.
