Backend / Platform 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.
