Software Engineer – AI Infrastructure & Edge Computing

Contribute to a software platform that powers AI-driven radar systems operating across edge and cloud environments!MatrixSpace develops AI-enabled radar and sensing systems that help people understand what's happening in the world around them. By combining advanced radar, edge computing, and AI, we deliver situational awareness in environments where traditional sensing solutions struggle.We're looking for a hands-on, C++-fluent Software Engineer to help build and scale the platform software that enables AI-powered applications at the edge. You'll spend time developing high-performance software in C++, building distributed services and APIs, and deploying applications across edge and cloud environments. You'll work closely with platform, AI/ML, and embedded systems engineers to deliver reliable, scalable systems that support real-time intelligence.If you're technically curious, can read code like a book, and are motivated by solving difficult systems problems, we'd love to talk.What You'll DoDesign and develop platform software supporting AI workloads, edge inference, and distributed data processingBuild and maintain high-performance components in C++, Go, and Python for real-time and resource-constrained environmentsDevelop APIs and middleware that connect AI models, data services, and user-facing applicationsDeploy and operate distributed systems across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments using modern infrastructure toolsPartner with AI, platform, and embedded engineering teams to bring machine learning capabilities into production systemsImprove system performance, scalability, reliability, and observability across the platformMentor and guide more junior engineersWhat We're Looking ForThis position requires working directly or indirectly with the US Government in restricted environments. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship and may be required to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance in the future.Required4+ years of professional software engineering experience or equivalent demonstrated expertiseStrong, hands-on C++ development experience; applicants without significant C++ expertise will not be consideredExperience building backend systems, distributed applications, or platform infrastructureProficiency in at least one additional language such as Go or PythonExperience with Linux development environments, networking fundamentals, and modern software engineering practicesDemonstrated ability to independently solve technical problems and deliver production-quality softwareStrong communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional engineering teamsSomeone Who Will Thrive In This RoleCan read code like a book without having to rely heavily on documentation or explanationEnjoys building systems that bridge software, AI, and hardwareTakes ownership and follows through on challenging technical problemsLearns quickly and adapts comfortably in a fast-moving startup environmentThinks at both the system and implementation levelValues collaboration, feedback, and continuous improvementBuilds projects, experiments with new technologies, or contributes to technical communities outside of workBonus PointsExperience with edge computing, AI/ML platforms, or real-time systemsExperience with Kubernetes, Docker, Infrastructure-as-Code, or CI/CD pipelinesExperience deploying machine learning models into production environmentsFamiliarity with service-oriented architectures, SaaS platforms, or distributed data pipelinesExperience working with embedded systems, sensing technologies, robotics, aerospace, defense, or autonomous systemsAt MatrixSpace, platform engineering is where advanced sensing, AI, and distributed systems come together. You'll help build the foundation that enables our products to deliver real-time intelligence in the most demanding environments. If that sounds exciting, we'd love to hear from you.
