Senior Python Software Engineer – IoT & Systems Integration | Primarily Equity

We need a hands‑on Python engineer to build a hardware‑agnostic platform that connects robots, drones, autonomous vehicles and IoT devices. You’ll own the core software stack, design real‑time integration layers, and ship production‑grade code. High ownership, early‑stage entrepreneurship and equity upside define the experience. What You’ll Do Design and implement core software infrastructure linking diverse autonomous machines. Build device adapters, SDKs, and real‑time communication layers. Develop concurrent Python services for multi‑device orchestration and mission scheduling. Create robust state‑management and failure‑recovery mechanisms for distributed fleets. Write automated tests, simulations, and debugging tools for end‑to‑end validation. Collaborate with robotics, drone, and AI engineers to integrate hardware capabilities. What You Need 4–10 years of Python backend development, OOP, and modular design. Strong async programming (asyncio, multithreading, multiprocessing) experience. Proven track record integrating IoT devices via MQTT, HTTP/WebSockets, or similar protocols. Hands‑on building REST APIs, real‑time services, and scalable backend infrastructure. Deep understanding of distributed, event‑driven systems and reliability patterns. Proficiency with Linux, Git, Docker, and CI/CD tooling. Ability to debug complex networking and hardware‑software integration issues. Good to Have Experience with FastAPI, Redis, PostgreSQL, and container orchestration. Familiarity with ROS/MAVLink or other robotics communication stacks. Background in AI/LLM integration or edge‑device machine learning. The Opportunity This early‑stage role offers primarily equity‑based compensation (up to ₹1.5 crore) and the chance to relocate to Germany or the Middle East within 1–2 years. You’ll work directly with the founder and have a clear path to technical leadership.
