Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement resilient store-and-forward transport and data synchronization protocols for low-bandwidth, high-latency, and DDIL environments.
  • Implement local peer discovery and asynchronous I/O transports over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, and ad-hoc mesh networks.
  • Apply delay-tolerant networking, CRDT, and content-addressable storage techniques to support offline-first mission-critical applications.
  • Integrate software components deployed at the edge with core infrastructure across edge nodes, mobile endpoints, and cloud synchronization services.
  • Optimize performance and resource usage through memory management and debugging on constrained systems.
  • Implement authorization, authentication, and cryptographic security patterns for contested and disconnected environments.
  • Collaborate with hardware, mobile, and forward-deployed teams to validate systems under simulated and live field constraints.

Requirements

  • 5–7+ years of software engineering experience building robust systems software or distributed networking services.
  • Strong proficiency in Rust or another systems-level language such as Go, C, or C++.
  • Demonstrated experience with store-and-forward architectures, delay-tolerant networks, asynchronous I/O, or local device-to-device transport layers.
  • Practical experience solving synchronization challenges in intermittent, contested, or low-throughput DDIL network conditions.
  • Familiarity with hybrid mobile/cloud application architecture and state reconciliation is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience testing wireless networking hardware and software in physical field or operational environments is a plus.
  • Background in content-addressable data structures, Merkle DAGs, or CRDTs is a plus.
  • Expertise in embedded hardware or robotics orchestration is a plus.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits, including a high-deductible HSA option with a $200/month company contribution.
  • 401(k) match for U.S.-based employees.
  • Equity options.
  • Flexible PTO policy.
  • Parental leave for eligible employees.
  • Continuing education support.
  • Company-paid basic life insurance, supplemental life insurance, and short- and long-term disability coverage.
