Senior Backend Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p><strong>Life at Plume</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life’s moments better. Which is why we’ve built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We’re expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can’t do it exceptionally well, we don’t do it. It’s how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it’s how we’re reinventing what’s possible every day.</span></p></div><div class="p-rich_text_section"><strong>Location Requirement: Applicants must be based in the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone to be considered for this role.</strong></div> <div class="p-rich_text_section"> </div> <div class="p-rich_text_section"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Responsibilities</strong></span></div> <ul class="p-rich_text_list p-rich_text_list__bullet p-rich_text_list--nested" data-stringify-type="unordered-list" data-list-tree="true" data-indent="0" data-border="0"> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">API Development:</strong> Design, implement, and maintain RESTful and gRPC APIs powering internal and external applications.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Cloud Microservices:</strong> Architect and deploy scalable microservices in AWS/GCP/Azure using Kubernetes and modern DevOps practices.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Data Pipelines:</strong> Build real-time and batch data pipelines, ensuring data accuracy, performance, and observability (EMR on EKS).</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Collaboration:</strong> Partner with cross-functional squad members to deliver features end-to-end, from concept to production.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">System Reliability:</strong> Optimize services for scalability, resilience, and high availability.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Engineering Excellence:</strong> Contribute to architecture discussions, enforce coding standards, and drive best practices in CI/CD, testing, and monitoring.</li> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Security:</strong> Embed security and compliance into backend systems and data workflows.</li> </ul> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Qualifications</strong></span></p> <ul class="p-rich_text_list p-rich_text_list__bullet p-rich_text_list--nested" data-stringify-type="unordered-list" data-list-tree="true" data-indent="0" data-border="0"> <li data-stringify-indent="0" data-stringify-border="0">Strong proficiency in <strong data-stringify-type="b ...
