Founding Backend Developer

St. John’s, NL (Hybrid)

Build the Future of Industrial Safety

Audyse is reimagining industrial safety with AI-powered smart PPE that enables clear communication, real-time situational awareness, and live telemetry in the world’s harshest environments. As we scale from pilot deployments to thousands of connected devices, we’re looking for a Founding Backend Developer to help design and build the cloud systems that power our platform.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role. You’ll help define our backend architecture, build production-grade systems from the ground up, and work closely with a lean team to shape both the product and the company.


What You'll Do

As a Founding Backend Developer at Audyse, you will:

  • Build and maintain our AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliability, performance, and cost efficiency as we scale.
  • Design and implement fast, secure, and scalable cloud services, data flows, and APIs for user-facing applications.
  • Build and optimize data pipelines and storage layers for streaming data and ML workflows.
  • Work in end-to-end development, from infrastructure and APIs to dashboards and portals used by industrial customers.
  • Implement security best practices across IAM, networking, secrets, and data protection.
  • Collaborate closely with the Head of Software and a lean cross-functional team, working autonomously while owning major technical decisions.
  • Thrive in an early-stage startup environment with high ambiguity, rapid iteration, and direct product impact.

We value strong judgment, ownership, and problem-solving. Experience matters, but how you think and deliver matters more.



What You Need

  • Strong hands-on experience with core AWS services and tooling
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, or Node.js
  • Experience building and maintaining data analytics or data processing workflows
  • Solid understanding of AWS security best practices (least-privilege IAM, secrets management)
  • Ability to own backend systems end-to-end with minimal oversight
  • Startup mindset: you thrive on ownership, ambiguity, and speed

Don’t meet every bullet but excited about what we're doing? Apply anyway. Many excellent candidates don’t tick every box and we are looking for team players with talent.



Interview Process

We'll ask about specific situations you've handled:

  • Projects you owned end-to-end with minimal oversight
  • Production incidents and how you diagnosed and resolved them
  • Technical decisions you made and the tradeoffs you considered
  • Times you learned and applied new technologies under pressure

We care about how you think and solve problems, not just what’s on your resume.



Benefits

  • 💰 Competitive salary + equity (your success is tied to ours!)
  • 🏥 Health and Dental Insurance
  • 🗓️ Flexible PTO
  • 🏡 Hybrid Work Environment
