At Emlid, we make modern professional geodetic equipment for highly accurate measurements. We develop both hardware and software ourselves, and constantly communicate with our users to gather feedback that inspires us to enhance our products.

Our team is united by a shared interest in research, deep engagement in tasks, and a collective drive for excellence — and we welcome those who share our values and approach to work.

Now we’re looking for a new Cloud Backend Developer to join our team.

In this role, you will:

• Own backend services end to end – from the data model to production behaviour;
• Design data models for new features in our document databases, and evolve existing ones as usage grows;
• Design how services talk to each other, to client apps, and to third-party APIs;
• Debug and resolve production issues;
• Write and maintain unit and integration tests.

Our tech stack:

Python (FastAPI), Kotlin (Ktor), DigitalOcean, Kubernetes, Couchbase, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, Grafana, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry.

Examples of tasks:

• Design the data model for a new feature (e.g. sharing projects across organizations) and migrate existing data without downtime;
• Replace a synchronous third-party integration with a queue-based flow – retries, idempotency, failure handling;
• Design how project updates propagate from device to cloud and on to other users’ apps, including conflict resolution;
• Stream a receiver’s live position from the mobile app through the cloud to the web app, so a colleague can watch it move on a map in real time;
• Extend the billing module to support a new payment provider.

Requirements:

• Fluency with Python;
• 5+ years of commercial experience designing resilient backend services and APIs, and working with distributed systems;
