Senior Software Engineer, CHAOS Industries

• 3+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong proficiency in Python
• Experience designing and operating scalable backend systems in cloud environments (Azure strongly preferred)
• Track record of building and supporting production systems — you've been on-call, debugged outages, and shipped under pressure
• Proficiency with modern engineering practices: git, unit testing, CI/CD, code review
• Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or permanent resident) — required for access to controlled technology
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

Desirable

• We're looking for a software engineer to build the backend systems that power our sensor infrastructure — the services that ingest, process, and serve data from radar, RF, and other sensing systems at scale
• You'll design and operate cloud-native systems on Azure, working alongside systems, hardware, and software engineers in a small team with high autonomy
• This is an early-stage role with outsized impact. You'll define architecture decisions, ship production code, and see your work protecting people's lives
• Design and build scalable backend services in Python that process and serve sensor data on Azure
• Architect cloud infrastructure for high-throughput, low-latency data pipelines
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, testing infrastructure, and release processes
• Work directly with hardware and systems engineering teams to integrate software with physical sensor systems
• Define software architecture decisions as a foundational member of the team
• Mentor engineers as the team grows
• Travel periodically to other offices (LA, DC) and customer sites
