About the Role
You will work as part of the team, building and delivering value across all dimensions of our product: user-facing applications, APIs and services, integrations to third party applications, analytics and data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
In this role you will help:
- Design, build, monitor, and maintain Python services
- Deploy and manage infrastructure using Terraform on Azure
- Improve our observability through logging, metrics, and alerting
- Monitor system health and respond to production issues
- Participate in technical design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions
- Collaborate with team members through pair programming, code review, and knowledge sharing
This role reports to the VP of Engineering.
What We Do
Lambent develops a software-only cloud-based spatial intelligence and occupancy data analytics platform for smarter space planning. Our product, Lambent Spaces, utilizes AI and Machine Learning to provide occupancy-based metrics using anonymous data from existing wireless technology in the built environment. We help space planners achieve space utilization targets, align schedules or staffing with actual demand, and reduce capital and operational expenses.
Our engineering team builds the platform that processes this data at scale, turning wireless signals into actionable insights for our customers.
What We're Looking For
This role typically requires 5+ years of relevant experience.
Required Skills:
- Strong Python development experience, particularly with async programming
- Track record of building, deploying, and maintaining production services with comprehensive monitoring
- Experience with infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines
- Strong communication skills and enthusiasm for collaborative problem solving
- Background in observability practices including logging, metrics, and alerting
It will be helpful if you have:
- Experience with pair and collaborative programming
- Experience with Microsoft Azure
- Experience with Data Lakehouses like Databricks or Snowflake
- Experience building and working with time series data
- Background in log aggregation systems (Azure Log Analytics, ELK, Splunk, etc.)
- Experience with metrics visualization tools like Grafana
- Experience with NextJS / React
- Experience with FastAPI
- Experience with Terraform
- Experience with Gitlab CI
We value engineers who:
- Treat the customer experience as the highest priority
- Enjoy iterative development: the art of doing just what we need to do
- Balance pragmatic solutions with long-term architectural sustainability: making expedient choices while avoiding design decisions that limit future options
- Enjoy collaborative technical discussions and are comfortable making and evolving technical decisions as a group
- Take initiative in improving system reliability
Our Engineering Culture
We maintain a highly collaborative environment where engineers actively participate in technical discussions and shape architectural decisions. We value driving value for the customer, pragmatic solutions, iterative development, and open communication.
We embrace a lean, kanban-style workflow that maximizes time spent on meaningful work. Our deep background in Agile methodologies has led us to streamline our process - our daily meetings focus on active collaboration and planning, and we adapt our priorities based on emerging customer needs and technical insights.
