Full Job Description
The RoleSpecter is hiring a full stack engineer to build and scale the applications that bring our sensing and perception platform to life. You'll be responsible for developing intuitive, high-performance interfaces and APIs that connect users to a world of real-time physical intelligence, spanning video, sensor data, and alerts across our distributed infrastructure. This role bridges Specter's cloud infrastructure and customer-facing experiences, owning the reliability, performance, and usability of the software surfaces that define how operators interact with the physical world.

Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement scalable full-stack web applications that visualize live sensor and video data.
  • Build high-performance APIs and data models in PostgreSQL, ensuring low-latency reads and writes for time-series and event data.
  • Develop rich, reactive dashboards and control interfaces using React, TypeScript, and TanStack Query/Router/Table.
  • Integrate real-time updates from WebSockets, Kafka streams, or REST APIs into intuitive front-end components.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to optimize performance across the edge-cloud pipeline.
  • Implement secure authentication, role-based access control, and enterprise-grade user management.
  • Own end-to-end feature development (from schema design to front-end polish) in mission-critical applications.


Qualifications:
  • Deep experience with React, TypeScript, and modern web app patterns (hooks, context, component-driven design).
  • Strong backend experience with Node.js or Python, and relational database design in PostgreSQL.
  • Expertise in TanStack (Query, Router, Table) for state management, data synchronization, and UI responsiveness.
  • Familiarity with WebSockets, GraphQL, or real-time event delivery systems.
  • Experience building and deploying applications in Docker or Kubernetes environments.
  • Solid understanding of data modeling, caching, and API performance optimization.
  • Experience visualizing spatial, temporal, or operational data (e.g., with Mapbox, Recharts, D3).
  • Interest in physical AI, IoT, or large-scale distributed sensing systems.
