About the Job

We’re seeking an experienced Software Engineer to own the reliability, health, and observability of a nationwide IoT device fleet.

You’ll work across embedded systems, backend infrastructure, and site reliability engineering—designing monitoring pipelines, automation, and diagnostic tools that keep hundreds of devices online and performing reliably.

This is a remote-first role (North America) with ~20% travel for deployments and on-site debugging.

What’s in it for you?

• $160,000 – $190,000 salary

• Remote-first flexibility – work wherever you’re happiest and most productive

• Team off-sites ~2x per year (past destinations include Tahoe, Puerto Vallarta, San Diego, Austin)

• Room to grow – be part of a foundational team scaling rapidly over the next few years

What you’ll be doing:

• Design and implement systems to monitor and improve IoT device health at scale

• Build internal tools for device setup, QA automation, and fleet observability

• Develop backend services for device integration, calibration, and reliability improvements

• Debug distributed environments using logs, telemetry, and remote diagnostics

• Conduct fleet-wide health assessments and recommend firmware or deployment improvements

• Collaborate with operations and hardware teams to drive process and architectural improvements

• Maintain troubleshooting guides and playbooks to streamline deployments

• Travel as needed (~20%) for QA, deployments, and on-site support

What you’ll need:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Experience managing distributed Linux-based hardware or IoT fleets

• Proficiency in Python and SQL; C++ a plus

• Strong background with Linux systems (dmesg, journalctl, ip, systemd, etc.)

• Familiarity with observability tools (DataDog, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana)

• Wireless connectivity experience (cellular, WiFi, WiFi HaLow, etc.)

• Proven ability to build internal tooling and monitoring platforms

• Strong communication skills and ability to write clear reports and guides

• Self-starter mentality with willingness to travel up to 20%
