You will design, build, and operate the distributed edge-to-cloud pipeline that runs on IoT devices on the production floor, ingesting high-rate sensor and controller data and reliably forwarding it to the cloud over intermittent connectivity.\nThis is a hands-on backend-focused role spanning containerized .NET services, relational and document data stores, pub/sub messaging, and industrial protocol integration. You will own features end-to-end and collaborate closely with Controls, HMI, Manufacturing, and Field Support to ship reliable, production-grade systems to our customers.\nKey Job Responsibilities\nDesign and implement backend services in C# on modern .NET / ASP.NET Core for the edge platform - REST APIs, background workers, message handlers, telemetry aggregators, and long-running device services.\nOwn the data pipeline from device ingest to cloud archive: schema design, repository / data-access layer, database migrations, partitioning and retention strategy, and durable store-and-forward upload to cloud object storage.\nBuild and maintain containerized services and their deployment manifests, configuration, and orchestration.\nIntegrate with industrial controllers over standard fieldbus and industrial communication protocols - designing message contracts, register maps, warning/error codes, and controls-side handshakes for coordinated operation.\nDeliver features end-to-end, from work-item breakdown through implementation, unit and integration tests, CI, code review, deployment, and field validation on live equipment.\nContribute to architecture: write and review architecture docs, evaluate new patterns, and drive refactors that keep the codebase maintainable as the team and product line grow.\nMentor and collaborate: raise the bar in code review, pair with junior engineers, and coordinate with Controls, HMI, DevOps, and Field Support to ship releases. Mentor junior software developers and provide guidance on best practices and advanced analytical techniques.\nCommunicate complex data insights and recommendations to non-technical stakeholders effectively.\nKey Competencies & Skills\nRequired\nStrong professional experience with C# and modern .NET building ASP.NET Core REST APIs, hosted / background services, and worker services.\nSolid database engineering skills: relational schema design, indexing, migrations, and query tuning. Comfort writing and reviewing raw SQL is expected.\nPractical experience with containerization\nComfort with Linux as a deployment target (systemd services, log management, networking, device troubleshooting) and shell scripting.\nProficiency with Git, pull-request workflows, and CI/CD (Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar), including running unit and integration tests in the pipeline.\nStrong grounding in software engineering fundamentals: automated testing, code review, refactoring, API design, and writing clear technical documentation.\nStrongly Preferred\nWorking knowledge of Python for tooling, data analysis, and test automation (pytest); ability to move fluently between C# and Python codebases.\nExperience integrating with industrial control systems via standard fieldbus or SCADA protocols (e.g., EtherCAT, MODBUS, OPC UA, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP), or otherwise interoperating with PLCs.\nAzure cloud services: Blob Storage, IoT Hub, Container Registry, Managed Identity, and Azure DevOps. Equivalent experience on AWS or GCP is also welcome.\nExperience with Kubernetes for orchestrating containerized workloads, including deployments, services, and Helm charts; lightweight distributions such as K3s or MicroK8s at the edge are a plus.\nExperience building IoT device software - long-lived services on embedded / ARM64 hardware, remote deployment, module or fleet management, and safe over-the-air updates.\nFamiliarity with columnar / analytics formats such as Parquet and downstream analytics engines (Fabric, Synapse, Databricks, DuckDB).\nFamiliarity with visualization / dashboard tools (Grafana or similar) and time-series data modeling.\nEducation and Experience Requirements\n3+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production systems.\nDemonstrated experience delivering distributed backend systems in production, ideally at the edge or in an IoT / industrial context, with responsibility for reliability, observability, and on-call or field-support obligations.\nTrack record of cross-functional collaboration with hardware, controls, or research teams, and of translating ambiguous product requirements into well-scoped, testable engineering work.\nWorking Conditions\nWork is performed inside a flex space building consisting of offices, open desk space, laboratory, machine shop, and a manufacturing floor. Level of noise is usually quiet in the office environment and temperature controlled. Noise levels are elevated in the warehouse space where temperatures can vary depending on the outside elements and weather. Travel may be required, including up to 2-8 trips per year to visit suppliers, attend conferences, meetings (customer, investor, and business) and customer sites (hatcheries).","description_format":"text","description_chars":5246,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Farming & Agriculture","Food & Beverages"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T02:55:26Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":18,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-08T05:49:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/targan-vision-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/targan-vision-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-09T00:23:35Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":467,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4533,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-10T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2217043},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2217043"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftargan-vision-software-engineer"},{"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%2Ftargan-vision-software-engineer"},{"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%2Ftargan-vision-software-engineer"},{"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/targan-vision-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftargan-vision-software-engineer"}]}
