Position: Backend Software Engineer, (Mid-Level)

Digital Global Systems is seeking a Backend Software Engineer to own and evolve the Target Tracker service within the CLEARSITE™ platform. This role is responsible for persistent target identity, association logic, decoder integration, and migration of legacy tracking systems to a modern, scalable backend architecture.

The engineer will build low-latency services that maintain continuous target tracking across sessions, protocols, and observation gaps using decoded identifiers and RF fingerprint matching.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement the Target Tracker Service, including:
    • Dual-path association using decoded identifiers (Wi‑Fi MAC, BLE) and RF fingerprint similarity
    • Track lifecycle management (candidate, active, timeout, split/merge)
  • Build and maintain REST APIs with strict latency SLOs (sub‑20ms update paths)
  • Implement persistent storage using MySQL and long‑term archival in Click House
  • Develop composite fingerprint matching algorithms with policy‑weighted similarity scoring
  • Lead legacy system migration efforts, including dual‑write, backfill, cutover, and rollback
  • Integrate tracking services with signal processors, decoders, and image‑based detectors
  • Support onboarding of new protocol decoders (Wi‑Fi, BLE, LoRa, LTE)
  • Maintain high‑quality test coverage and performance validation

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years backend development experience (Python, FastAPI)
  • Experience building low‑latency REST APIs
  • Familiarity with data migration strategies and real‑time pipelines
  • Solid testing practices (pytest, integration, performance)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Click House or columnar databases
  • Background in entity resolution, tracking systems, or identity matching
  • Familiarity with RF signal metadata or protocol decoding
  • Experience with production legacy system migrations
