Beacon Biosignals is on a mission to revolutionize precision medicine for the brain. They are seeking a Software Engineer to join their Datastore team, focusing on the design and scaling of backend systems for data infrastructure to support analytical tools and applications used in clinical studies.
Responsibilities:
- You partner with product managers, internal stakeholders, and other development and support teams to design new integrations, services, and solutions for scaling Beacon's data platform
- You implement features with attention to detail, demonstrating product awareness and high standards for data integrity, design soundness, and maintainability across the lifespan of the system
- You draft RFCs to lead complex feature discovery and technical design phases, soliciting and incorporating input, and helping your team align on a set of decisions to guide development
- You leverage feedback from internal stakeholders and external partners to improve operational robustness and ease of use of the Datastore and its services via new documentation, tools, and dashboards
Requirements:
- 5+ years of backend development experience, including at least 2 years focused on data engineering, data platforms, or infrastructure for data-centric applications
- Strong proficiency in SQL, with production experience working with PostgreSQL
- Hands-on experience with data streaming and event processing, using tools such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pulsar, or a cloud-based equivalent like Amazon Kinesis
- Proficiency in a data-oriented programming language such as Julia, Python, or R
- Experience deploying and operating services in containerized environments, with familiarity in Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform and/or Helm
- A collaborative mindset - you enjoy working across disciplines and believe people achieve more together than alone
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in asynchronous and remote-friendly environments
- A self-directed approach, with a track record of thriving in hybrid or fully remote teams
- Experience with Julia is a strong plus, but not required - we welcome candidates eager to learn it!
- Experience in TypeScript/JavaScript (Node.js) is a plus, especially for API integration work
