We're hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to design and build the services that sit at the heart of the Distributed Spectrum platform: the systems that ingest spectrum data, orchestrate ML inference, and increasingly, power autonomous agents that reason over what our sensors see. You'll define how our backend evolves from a set of services into an agent-native system — one where models, tools, and workflows are first-class citizens of the architecture rather than bolted-on integrations.

This is a high-ownership role. You'll set technical direction, make architecture decisions that stick for years, and mentor engineers around you.

Design, build, and operate backend services that are reliable, observable, and built to scale with our sensor fleet and customer base.

Architect the agent layer of our platform: tool-calling interfaces, orchestration, state management, memory, and evaluation harnesses for LLM- and model-driven agents.

Own the ML inference architecture — model serving, batching, GPU/CPU scheduling, latency and cost optimization, and the APIs that expose inference to the rest of the system.

Define service boundaries, data contracts, and API standards across the backend.

Build for production: instrumentation, alerting, graceful degradation, and clear runbooks.

Partner closely with ML researchers to move models from experiment to production quickly and safely.

Lead design reviews, mentor engineers, and raise the bar on code quality and engineering practice.
