Senior Backend Engineer
Location: Petah Tikva (IL)
Description
We are building the core infrastructure and operating system for autonomous platforms.
This platform enables real-world autonomous operations by coordinating drones, docking stations, and edge systems in real time. It serves as the operational backbone for mission execution, communication, telemetry, orchestration, and fleet coordination across distributed autonomous environments.
This is not a typical backend role.
You will work on a distributed, real-time system powering autonomous platforms operating in production environments worldwide.
The platform includes:
- Fleet orchestration and mission lifecycle management
- Real-time communication between distributed autonomous components
- Telemetry, video, and operational data processing
- Device interoperability across heterogeneous autonomous platforms
- SDKs and APIs for platform integration and extensibility
As a Senior Engineer, you will help shape the technical foundation, architecture, reliability, and scalability of the platform from the ground up
Responsibilities
- Design and build distributed backend systems for autonomous platform operations
- Lead architecture and system design decisions across services and communication layers
- Develop scalable, low-latency, and resilient services in Java
- Design reliable communication and messaging flows between distributed system components
- Solve complex challenges related to concurrency, scalability, latency, and fault tolerance
- Build abstraction layers for integrating multiple autonomous devices and platforms
- Develop internal SDKs and reusable infrastructure components
- Improve system observability, debugging capabilities, and operational reliability
- Drive engineering best practices, clean architecture, and code quality standards
Requirements
- Strong experience building and operating backend systems in production environments
- Excellent fundamentals in software engineering, distributed systems, and system design
- Strong proficiency in Java
- Experience designing scalable microservices and distributed architectures
- Deep understanding of: Concurrency and multithreading, Distributed systems and failure handling, Network communication and messaging patterns, Real-time processing and system data flow architectures
- Experience with event-driven and real-time systems
- Experience building real-time distributed communication systems using technologies such as: RabbitMQ, gRPC, WebSockets
- Experience designing reusable infrastructure, abstraction layers, or SDKs
- Strong architectural thinking and ability to own complex technical decisions
We care more about how you design systems, solve problems, and think about architecture than specific frameworks or tools.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Spring / Spring Boot
- Experience with Python and/or C++
- Familiarity with: DDS, Zenoh, MAVLink
- Experience with telemetry, sensor, or real-time data systems
- Experience with video streaming technologies (WebRTC, GStreamer, FFmpeg)
- Background in robotics, drones, or autonomous systems
