Senior Software Engineer, Edge & Cloud Integration

Job Description

Job Description

As a Senior Software Engineer – Edge & Cloud Integration, you will design, implement, and optimize software that runs on the "edge" — onboard companion computers and embedded systems — and connects seamlessly to our cloud services. You'll play a key role in building the next generation of intelligent, connected drone applications that power Auterion's ecosystem, enabling real-time communication, mission planning, and data-driven insights across edge and cloud environments.

In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to bridge the gap between onboard systems and cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring robust data flow, efficient processing, and secure integration between autonomous platforms and distributed services.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Design, develop, and maintain software that runs on edge devices (e.g., Jetson based companion computers and Auterion Skynode devices) and integrates with cloud-based systems.
• Implement reliable, low-latency communication between edge and cloud using REST, gRPC, MQTT, or WebSockets.
• Develop and deploy edge applications using C++ and Python on Linux environments.
• Build and maintain containerized edge services using Docker and related orchestration tools.
• Integrate with cloud APIs and services for device management, telemetry, and data ingestion.
• Design and implement real-time or near-real-time data processing pipelines.
• Contribute to CI / CD pipelines to automate testing, integration, and deployment of edge and cloud software.
• Troubleshoot and optimize low-level Linux services (systemd, networking, process management).
• Collaborate with firmware, cloud, and UI teams to deliver a seamless end-to-end experience for Auterion-powered drones.
• Maintain strong engineering and cybersecurity best practices across all phases of development.
• Write clear, maintainable, and well-documented code with strong version control discipline.
