Consumer Apps Developer (Focus on Hardware)

We’re seeking a Mid-Senior Software Engineer to help build our next-gen, on-premise service that integrates computer vision, edge computing, and secure connectivity to deliver powerful insights to all pickleball enthusiasts.

This role blends hands-on engineering with architecture-level decisions: you'll choose appropriate hardware platforms, develop software for edge systems, and help build robust connections to cloud systems.

• Design and maintain local networking and secure communication between multiple devices (cameras, hubs).
• Develop edge services responsible for orchestration and coordination between edge devices and cloud backends.
• Interface with Azure backend cloud services for secure data exchange, device provisioning, and remote monitoring.
• Contribute to and uphold security best practices with a focus on privacy, access control, and data protection.
• Conduct hardware testing and troubleshooting
• Collaborate with software teams to integrate hardware and software
• Document hardware designs and specifications

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 2+ years on edge or embedded systems.
• Deep familiarity with small form-factor hardware and the ability to evaluate technical trade-offs.
• Experience working with camera systems, camera APIs and interface types (USB, Ethernet, CSI, etc.).
• Proficiency in Python is required, with additional experience in shell scripting languages, Rust, Go, or C++ considered a plus for systems development in Linux environments.
• Understanding of networking (DHCP, static IPs, firewall rules) and local service orchestration.
• Comfortable working with device-to-cloud communication using MQTT, WebSockets, or REST APIs.
• Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized service deployment.
• Exposure to Azure or equivalent managed cloud services.
• Experience with prototyping and testing hardware systems

Nice To Have:

• Experience implementing OTA (Over-the-Air) update systems or device lifecycle management.
• Background in sports tech, computer vision, or field-deployed sensor systems.
• Experience in greenfield product development or early-stage product teams.
