Software Engineer

Wilmington, MA

Position Summary:

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a core member of the team responsible for developing a scalable, high-performance, and resilient platform. Your work will span multiple layers of the architecture, from low-latency data ingestion services in C++ to high-level web control components in Python. You will be instrumental in defining and implementing the inter-service communication contracts and ensuring real-time performance requirements are met.

 

Essential Functions:

  •  Lead the design and implementation of core microservices using a polyglot stack (C++, Python, Java), ensuring services are modular, performant, and maintainable.
  • Define and implement robust, language-agnostic communication using GRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) to facilitate efficient data flow between services.
  • Develop and optimize high-performance components, particularly in C++, for Data Ingestion, often involving low-latency BSD Sockets and interfacing with specialized hardware.
  • Collaborate with hardware teams on the FPGA/RFSOM Interface (C++) to ensure efficient, low-latency data acquisition from specialized imaging sensors.
  • Define and finalize GRPC service definitions (.proto files) as the contract between all services, ensuring seamless integration across the entire distributed system.
  • Contribute to the deployment strategy, including containerization (Docker) and orchestration, and establish best practices for monitoring and logging.
  • Develop and utilize the Replayer component for robust testing, simulation, and scenario analysis of the full system pipeline.

Essential Knowledge, Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience in designing and building scalable, distributed systems.
  • Strong proficiency in at least two of the following languages (C++, Python, Java) with a deep understanding of their application in a microservices environment.
  • Proven experience with microservices architecture, asynchronous communication patterns, and event-driven systems.
  • Extensive practical experience with GRPC and defining its associated service contracts. Familiarity with high-speed networking protocols like BSD Sockets is a significant plus.
  • Experience with modern DevOps practices, including Docker for containerization and a basic understanding of Workload Orchestration concepts.
  • Experience designing systems for high-volume, real-time data acquisition and processing.

Preferred (Bonus) Qualifications:

  • Experience with hardware acceleration or interfacing with specialized hardware (FPGA, RFSOM, etc.).
  • Familiarity with image processing, signal processing, or machine learning pipelines (e.g., using Python for prototyping image reconstruction).
  • Experience with message brokers or central communication buses beyond standard HTTP, REST.
  • Familiarity with web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) and webserver development C++ or Python web frameworks).
