Mid-level Backend Engineer

Middleware/Integration Engineer - Autonomous Systems & Command-and-Control

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE (relocation supported)

About the rol

e
You'll join an advanced tech engineering team building mission-critical autonomous systems - UAV, UGV, and USV platforms - and the command-and-control software that operates them. This is deep infrastructure work: real-time messaging, distributed pub-sub systems, and the plumbing that enables robotics, sensors and operator interfaces to communicate reliably under real-time constraint

What you'll

• doDesign and build the messaging/integration layer connecting robotics subsystems (sensors, autonomy stack, device management) with backend and command-and-control platfo
• rmsImplement and maintain pub-sub communication using DDS (Fast DDS/Cyclone DDS/RTI Connext), NATS, or M
• QTTDefine QoS policies, topic/schema contracts, and service boundaries for real-time, high-volume teleme
• tryWork closely with backend (Go/TypeScript), frontend, robotics/autonomy, and DevOps teams to keep data flowing cleanly across the st
• ackHelp migrate legacy or ad hoc integrations into a maintainable, typed, well-documented middleware la
• yerContribute to architecture reviews, interface definitions, and technical documentat
