TL;DR · Senior Mission Software Engineer

As a Senior Mission Software Engineer on the Imaging team, you will play a critical role in maintaining and enhancing state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems deployed for security purposes. Your day-to-day responsibilities include triaging issues across hardware, firmware, and software layers to ensure system uptime, developing and extending modular production services that run on edge-compute devices, and supporting field operations by diagnosing and resolving issues with non-technical users. You will also represent the team in external integrations, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and maintain a deep understanding of the entire system stack. The role requires strong Python and C++ skills, experience with Linux-based environments, and proficiency in diagnosing complex system issues. Ideal candidates should be comfortable working in ambiguous situations, have excellent communication skills, and be willing to travel approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer integrations.

What you'll do

  • Own the health and uptime of deployed imaging systems, diagnosing issues across all components.
  • Develop and extend modular software services for edge-compute devices in challenging environments.
  • Diagnose and resolve technical issues with field operators and non-technical users under pressure.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert in integrations with other products and teams, both remotely and on-site.
  • Maintain comprehensive understanding of the full system stack to optimize service interactions and graceful degradation.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in software development with production responsibility.
  • Strong Python and C++ skills for effective coding in Linux environments.
  • Ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries without full visibility.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including technical explanations.
  • Willingness to travel approximately 15% of the time for field testing and customer support.
  • Experience supporting fielded or deployed systems beyond just development environments.
