Backend / Systems Engineer

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.
