Senior Software​/Platform Engineer; Backend​/Python​/Java​/Go​/Kubernetes​/AWS​/Geospatial

Mission: Greenfield geospatial intelligence & tactical telemetry platforms for national security.

Tired of maintaining rigid legacy pipelines and waiting weeks on siloed Dev Ops teams just to ship infrastructure changes?

An agile defense and geospatial intelligence technology provider is building next-generation platforms that fuse real-time tactical IoT, seismic sensor telemetry, and physics-informed data science models. Backed by long-term federal contracts, they need a Senior Platform Engineer to own greenfield architecture and operationalize complex analytical models from day one.

Zero legacy red tape. 100% cloud-portable stack. True end-to-end autonomy.

Why Build Here:

• Greenfield Platform Ownership: Shape backend APIs, Kubernetes orchestration, and cloud infrastructure without Dev Ops bottlenecks.
• Physics-Informed Scale: Partner directly with data scientists, seismologists, and MLOps engineers to take complex research models into live production.
• High-Velocity Telemetry: Solve event-driven engineering challenges across real-time edge streams, spatial data, and sensor networks.
• True Remote Flexibility: 100% remote day-to-day across TX, OK, or KS with only 1–2 team offsites per year.

The Tech & Work:

• Architect backend platform services and async APIs using Python (FastAPI) alongside Go or Java
• Build data science enablement tooling so research teams can deploy and run analytical models reliably
• Own end-to-end orchestration and cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, AWS, Docker, Terraform, Helm, Git Hub Actions)
• Implement real-time event-driven pipelines using Kafka, MQTT, gRPC, and Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Design spatial persistence layers and geospatial processing services (PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GDAL, Geo Pandas, Rasterio, Geo Parquet, COG)
• Drive RBAC, authentication, observability, and resilient error handling across distributed services

Hard Filters:

• U.S. Citizenship (must be eligible to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance)
• 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, backend software, or data-intensive distributed systems
• Strong production proficiency in Python (FastAPI), experience with Go or Java, and solid SQL/PostgreSQL skills
• Hands-on ownership of Kubernetes orchestration and AWS infrastructure
• Practical experience with geospatial tooling (PostGIS, GDAL, Geo Pandas, or Rasterio)
• Residing in Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas (remote with 1–2x/year onsite meetups)
• Bonus:
  Cross-platform mobile development experience or background in industrial IoT, seismic, or oil & gas telemetry
