About the role

About Us

We are a deep-tech company developing advanced real-time systems that integrate hardware and software to address complex operational challenges in dynamic environments. We are looking for a highly motivated Distributed Systems Engineer with strong experience in Go (Golang).

In this role, you will collaborate closely with engineering and research teams to design, build, and enhance distributed data-processing and sensor integration systems. These systems provide real-time insights to support critical decision-making and automated responses.

The position emphasizes practical system performance, scalability, and reliability in real-world deployments, rather than purely theoretical or research-driven work.

Commitment

We are seeking candidates available for full-time work who can thrive in a fast-paced, delivery-oriented environment.

Compensation is competitive and based on experience, technical expertise, and demonstrated impact.

This role requires eligibility to work in Canada and the ability to obtain and maintain necessary security clearances.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop backend services using Go and related technologies to integrate data from multiple hardware and software sources
  • Build and maintain distributed systems for real-time data ingestion, processing, and coordination
  • Contribute to modern web-based user interfaces (e.g., using React) for monitoring, control, and visualization
  • Implement logging, monitoring, and observability tools to provide actionable insights and system transparency
  • Collaborate across software, hardware, and research teams to deliver integrated system functionality
  • Ensure high-quality, production-ready code with strong performance and reliability characteristics
  • Participate in system design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of professional experience in software development
  • 2+ years of experience working with distributed systems
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with Go (Golang) in production environments
  • Experience integrating data from multiple sources or working with real-time data pipelines
  • Familiarity with frontend development (e.g., React) is an asset
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows
  • Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to handle competing priorities
  • High attention to detail, especially when working with systems that rely on accurate, real-time data
  • Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within cross-functional teams

What You’ll Gain

  • Competitive compensation aligned with your experience and contributions
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits
  • Flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance
  • Opportunity to work on technically challenging, high-impact systems
  • Exposure to advanced distributed architectures and real-world system deployments
  • A collaborative, fast-moving environment that values ownership, innovation, and continuous improvement
