Senior Software Engineer

Role Title: Senior Software Engineer

Exp: 4+ Years

Location: Noida (with 34 hours overlap with EST)

Team: Platform Engineering Safety & Presence

Employment Type: Full-time

Position Summary

We are looking for a Sr. Software Engineer with strong frontend expertise (React.js/TypeScript) to lead a small, high-impact squad building a real-time safety and presence monitoring platform.

You will lead the development of the operator console and web experience, while collaborating with backend and DevOps engineers to deliver a cloud-first, event-driven system.

The team will:

1- Deliver a cloud-first, private-site safety & presence MVP in 3 months

2- Evolve the platform into a production-ready system within 67 months

3- You will play a key role in designing and building a real-time web application (React/PWA) that interacts with backend services handling event ingestion, zone logic and multi-channel notifications (web push/SMS/email).

4- Experience with LoRaWAN or IoT systems is not mandatory. You are expected to quickly learn the fundamentals while focusing primarily on frontend architecture, real-time UX and system integrations.
