About the Role
Pelagon is seeking a highly experienced, hands-on software engineer to lead the software development for their operations centre. This role involves architecting and building the data infrastructure, processing services, internal tools, and customer-facing applications, ensuring robustness, operability, and cybersecurity.
Responsibilities
- Define the architecture of core services, APIs, internal tools, and customer-facing applications.
- Write production code and take responsibility for the system from design through operation.
- Build reliable ingestion, storage, and retrieval for large volumes of sensor and operational data.
- Choose and operate databases and storage systems, design data models, and manage data quality, migrations, retention, and performance.
- Build the infrastructure to schedule, execute, and monitor data-processing and ML jobs.
- Handle dependencies, resource allocation, retries, reproducibility, and failure recovery.
- Make the platform reproducibly deployable on Pelagon and customer infrastructure.
- Own infrastructure automation, software packaging, configuration, release pipelines, upgrades, and rollback without depending on managed cloud services.
- Establish observability, performance testing, capacity planning, backup, and recovery.
- Diagnose production issues and build systems that recover predictably from interrupted connectivity, partial failures, and faulty inputs.
- Build security into architecture, implementation, deployment, and maintenance.
- Apply threat modeling, least-privilege access, authentication, authorization, network isolation, secrets management, encryption, and audit logging.
- Establish secure development practices, dependency and vulnerability management, patching, and incident readiness.
- Define clear interfaces and data contracts with the embedded systems and AI teams.
- Own integration and end-to-end testing so devices, data pipelines, algorithms, and applications operate as one system.
- Set a high standard for code, testing, documentation, and technical judgment.
- Mentor engineers and use AI-assisted development tools effectively to accelerate implementation, testing, and investigation.
Requirements
- Extensive experience building and operating robust, data-intensive production software, with architectural ownership across multiple components and teams.
- Strong hands-on software development skills, with the ability to move from system design to implementation and difficult production debugging.
- Deep experience with data ingestion, databases, storage systems, and distributed processing, including the practical challenges of performance, consistency, and scale.
- A strong DevOps and systems background: Linux, networking, containers, orchestration, infrastructure as code, and automated delivery.
- Proven experience deploying and maintaining software on self-managed infrastructure, private infrastructure, or customer premises, including operating the services that managed cloud platforms would otherwise provide.
- Experience building or operating job orchestration and data-processing platforms, and integrating ML workloads into production systems.
- Practical cybersecurity expertise and a record of applying it to production software and infrastructure.
- The judgement to choose maintainable solutions, anticipate failure modes, and balance delivery speed with long-term reliability.
- The ability to lead technically across disciplines, clarify ambiguous requirements, and take ownership of the overall outcome.
- Effective use of modern AI engineering tools, with the discipline to verify generated code and protect confidential information.
