Software Engineer - Distributed Systems

Mission:

The Future Technologies team investigates, designs, and prototypes the core technologies that will underpin Verity’s products for years to come. Led by the CTO, our mission is to extend Verity’s technological leadership by reinventing the way we autonomously collect data, manage it, and provide valuable insights. We achieve this by deeply understanding the technology state of the art and Verity’s product vision, challenging conventional implementations, and proving new designs by building functional prototypes.

Your Role:

• Lead the transformation and spearhead re-imagining the architecture of Verity’s insight generation workflows
• Analyze and optimize our existing implementations, identifying opportunities for improvement in usability and performance.
• Innovate with purpose by developing and prototyping a workflow orchestration system tailored to Verity's unique applications, setting a new standard for data-driven insights.
• Mitigate risks proactively by conducting rigorous proof-of-concept studies, safeguarding against technical uncertainties.
• Facilitate seamless productization with well-structured documentation, clear communication, and strategic guidance for cross-functional teams.

Your experience:

• Proven expertise in distributed systems engineering, ideally in workflow orchestration or cloud-edge computing environments.
• Demonstrated strength in system architecture and the ability to create scalable, resilient solutions.
• Extensive experience with Python.
• Exceptional communication skills—both verbal and written.
• A Master’s degree in computer science or a related field.

Who you are:

You are an independent, reliable, and systematic engineer known for taking ownership of complex, unstructured problems. You like to deeply understand the technologies you use, verify your intuitions experimentally, and challenge your own assumptions as much as other’s.
