What we’re building

We’re an early-stage company building software that helps enterprises measure, understand, and improve connectivity performance across complex environments. Our system combines edge software running on Linux-based devices with cloud services that ingest and process telemetry at scale.

The role

You’ll own critical parts of the edge agent (Linux/OpenWrt-class environment) and contribute meaningfully to our Python backend (APIs, ingestion services, and operational tooling). This is a high-ownership role for someone who loves shipping reliable systems that work in real-world conditions.

What you’ll do

  • Build and maintain a production-grade edge agent (service lifecycle, watchdog behavior, structured logs, resource constraints).
  • Implement telemetry collection and active probing focused on network and device health.
  • Design reliable edge→cloud delivery (local buffering, retries, idempotent batching, backpressure).
  • Build and extend Python backend services:
    • ingestion endpoints, validation, and versioned schemas
    • device registry / fleet health primitives
    • event processing and operational debugging tools
  • Improve system observability and operability (metrics, dashboards, alerts, and field-debug workflows).
  • Collaborate with product and engineering to translate real customer problems into shippable features.

What we’re looking for

Required

  • Strong experience building production systems in Python (services/APIs/workers).
  • Experience shipping software on Linux-based edge devices (routers/gateways/IoT preferred).
  • Solid networking fundamentals (routing, DNS, DHCP, NAT, common failure modes).
  • A track record of building reliable pipelines (retries, persistence, idempotency, resilience).
  • Comfort owning problems end-to-end and operating what you build.

Nice to have

  • OpenWrt familiarity (or similar constrained Linux environments).
  • Wi-Fi and/or cellular telemetry experience.
  • Experience with Postgres/Redis/queues, cloud deployment, and security fundamentals for device fleets.

Startup culture & how we work

  • High ownership: you’ll ship meaningful systems and see them used quickly.
  • Speed with discipline: we move fast, but we don’t cut corners on reliability for production-facing code.
  • Simple > clever: we prefer pragmatic, maintainable designs and clear interfaces.
  • Direct communication: small team, low ego, high accountability.
  • Customer reality: we build for messy environments—power interruptions, flaky networks, imperfect inputs.

Why join

  • Work on a technically deep problem at the intersection of networking, edge systems, and backend.
  • Make foundational architecture decisions early.
  • Competitive compensation + meaningful equity (early-stage).

To apply: Send your resume / LinkedIn and a short note about a system you built that had to run reliably in the real world.
