Built on a principled “Edge-to-Fog-to-Cloud” architecture, our platform turns passive CCTV cameras and sensors into proactive hazard detectors, capable of identifying threats like missing PPE, fire, smoke, restricted access violations, and more-in real time and at scale. This helps organizations across industries-from manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, and healthcare to smart cities-reduce workplace accidents by up to 90%, ensure regulatory compliance (EHS), and gain powerful operational insights. Fogsphere’s intuitive no-code visual workflows, hyper-scalable Kubernetes-based infrastructure, and commitment to ethical AI and privacy (GDPR compliance) make it a user-friendly yet enterprise-grade solution.\n About the Role\nAs a Junior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in the development, testing, and reliability of Fogsphere’s AI platform.\nThis role blends software engineering with elements of site reliability engineering (SRE) - giving you exposure not only to building robust software but also to ensuring its smooth, automated, and scalable deployment in production environments.\nYou’ll start by supporting our engineering team with Python and JavaScript development, test automation, and CI/CD workflows on Azure, progressively expanding your scope toward infrastructure reliability, monitoring, and performance optimization.\nWe are looking for brilliant, motivated, and curious individuals - those who love solving complex problems, learning new technologies, and taking ownership of both code and systems.\nThis position is ideal for someone who enjoys coding but is equally passionate about automation, quality, and the reliability of the systems they help build.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop and maintain small Python and JavaScript modules supporting internal tools, workflows, and production systems.\nDesign, write, and execute unit and integration tests using frameworks such as pytest, unittest, Playwright.\nSupport test data preparation, validation scripts, and backend service testing.\nAssist in automating CI/CD pipelines on Azure, improving build and deployment reliability.\nCollaborate with Software, QA, and SRE Engineers to identify, reproduce, and document bugs and performance issues.\nParticipate in code reviews and contribute to improving code quality, testing coverage, and deployment stability.\nLearn and apply DevOps and SRE principles - observability, monitoring, and automated recovery.\nExplore infrastructure-as-code, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud-based automation.\nRequired Skills & Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.\nBasic to intermediate knowledge of Python and JavaScript programming.\nUnderstanding of software testing principles, version control (Git), and CI/CD basics.\nCuriosity for QA, DevOps, and reliability engineering practices.\nStrong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and problem-solving mindset.\nGood communication and collaboration skills in English.\nNice-to-Have (or “Good to Grow Into”)\nExperience with testing libraries (pytest, unittest, mock, Playwright, MochaJS, …).\nExposure to REST API testing, Selenium, or other automation tools.\nFamiliarity with Azure DevOps, Docker, Linux environments, or cloud-based CI/CD systems.\nInterest in site reliability, monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana), or infrastructure automation.\nEnthusiasm for learning, experimentation, and continuous improvement.\nWhat We Offer\nZERO micromanagement. At Fogsphere, developers work independently under the Head of Engineering, with a focus on open discussion and professional development, where the best ideas are the ones applied.\nOpportunity to work on cutting-edge front-end development challenges in some of the largest deployments in the field.\nCollaborative environment with a team of engineers based in multiple countries.\nCompetitive salary and benefits package.\nCareer growth and continuous learning opportunities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4139,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Occupational Health"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T13:26:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.138,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":363,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fogsphere-junior-software-engineer-with-sre-influences","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fogsphere-junior-software-engineer-with-sre-influences.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T11:01:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19957,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673815},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673815"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffogsphere-junior-software-engineer-with-sre-influences"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffogsphere-junior-software-engineer-with-sre-influences"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffogsphere-junior-software-engineer-with-sre-influences"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fogsphere-junior-software-engineer-with-sre-influences\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffogsphere-junior-software-engineer-with-sre-influences"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":743681}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"fogsphere.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":743681},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
