Software Engineer II

Software Engineer II Department: Engineering Team: Backend Location: New York, United States Type: Full-Time **About the Role** We are building the next generation of automated retail intelligence. Our team transforms images of store shelves into real-time signals that power smarter inventory management. As a Software Engineer II, you will design and build the backend systems that power this transformation. You will own the pipelines and services that ingest large volumes of image data, orchestrate model inference, and convert raw predictions into reliable, actionable inventory signals. You’ll work closely with backend engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, Mobile Engineers, Product Managers, and Operations partners to build systems that are scalable, reliable, and performant in real-world retail environments. **What You Will Do** 1. **Build Scalable Data Pipelines:** Design and maintain robust pipelines that ingest, process, and transform large-scale image and metadata streams into structured inventory signals. 2. **Backend Service Development:** Develop and operate backend services that orchestrate model inference, post-process predictions, and expose high-quality data to downstream systems and partners. 3. **System Reliability & Performance:** Ensure high availability, low latency, and fault tolerance across distributed systems handling high-throughput image and prediction data. 4. **Data Modeling & Signal Quality:** Design data models and processing logic that translate raw model outputs into accurate, consistent, and interpretable inventory insights. 5. **Cross-Functional Collaboration:** Partner closely with backend engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, Mobile Engineers, Product, and Operations teams to define requirements, integrate systems end-to-end, and continuously improve the quality and usability of inventory signals. **Minimum Qualifications** - Education: B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience), - Experience: 3+ years of professional software engineering
