Backend / Systems Engineer

Induct builds low-cost cloud connected access control systems for physical buildings.

We build linux-based controllers deployed in real buildings, with real, unreliable network conditions, designed to retrofit existing legacy systems, alongside a cloud platform enabling real-time networking, device coordination, authentication, and fleet management.

We're looking for a backend/systems engineer who enjoys owning difficult real-world production systems.

What you'll work on:

• Realtime networking infrastructure
• Device ↔ cloud communication systems
• Distributed coordination and reliability
• Device identity, authentication and security
• Event-driven backend infrastructure
• Observability, debugging and production tooling
• Backend APIs and platform systems
• Device update orchestration and rollout systems
• Large-scale Linux device fleet management
• Guide the architecture of the platform as it grows

What we care about

• Strong engineering judgement
• Ownership and autonomy
• Interest in systems and infrastructure

Experience with the following is useful, but not required:

• TypeScript (Node.js / NestJS)
• PostgreSQL
• Rust
• Distributed / event-driven systems
• Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure
• Networking and reliability engineering
• Linux systems (server or embedded)

Role Details

This is an in-person role in Dublin City. We're a lightweight fast moving engineering team, so there's a high degree of ownership and responsibility expected. You'll have significant influence on the architecture, infrastructure, and overall technical direction of the platform.
