Akselos delivers Structural Performance Management (SPM) software that empowers industrial operators to make safety-critical, high-value decisions regarding the integrity and lifetime of their assets. As we scale our platform across complex data environments, backend reliability, performance, and security are paramount. We are a forward-thinking team that bridges advanced engineering with modern cloud infrastructure and cutting-edge AI-assisted workflows.
The role
We are seeking a Backend Developer to design, build, and maintain the robust backend services and APIs that power our cloud-based, high-performance computing (HPC) simulation platform. In this role, you will collaborate closely with frontend developers, simulation engineers, and product teams to ensure our systems remain scalable and highly secure.
A central focus of this position is driving operational efficiency. We expect you to proactively leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC), scripting, and AI-assisted engineering tools to automate recurring development and backend tasks.
Key responsibilities
- Backend Service Engineering: Core feature development, profiling backend services, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing performance for safety-critical, industrial-scale applications.
- Security & Quality Assurance: Auditing code pipelines for logic errors, mitigating security vulnerabilities, participating in peer code reviews, and building automated testing suites.
- Cloud Infrastructure & Reliability: Scaling cloud resources (GCP/Azure), continuously upgrading CI/CD pipelines, and implementing modern logging, diagnostic, and monitoring frameworks.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Aligning on system interfaces and technical requirements with global teams, alongside making minor frontend widget adjustments (TypeScript/React) to seamlessly integrate backend features.
What you bring (required qualifications)
- Education & Experience: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, paired with at least two years of professional backend development experience focused on cloud-based distributed systems.
- Technical Proficiency: Strong programming fluency in Python and SQL .
