At Hidden Level, we build software that connects the physical world to actionable intelligence. Our RF sensing technology helps protect troops, secure critical infrastructure, and enable smarter cities by delivering real-time airspace awareness for defense and commercial applications.
Position Overview
Help solve challenging problems in Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) and Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM). You’ll work across device integration, backend services, databases, and customer-facing applications to turn sensor data into information people can use.
Your work could involve integrating a camera or other advanced sensor, developing services that process device data, designing queries that reveal meaningful patterns, or deploying application capabilities in the cloud. You’ll collaborate with engineers across disciplines and own features from initial design through testing and deployment.
Location: On-site in Syracuse, NY
We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer who enjoys working with physical devices and building the applications that make their data useful. If you’re interested in working with cameras, radars, and other advanced systems, analyzing data, and developing cloud-scalable applications, this role offers opportunities across that entire spectrum.
Responsibilities
You’re curious about how systems work, from a device on a network to the database and application behind it. You take initiative, communicate clearly, and enjoy solving problems that cross software and hardware boundaries.
You bring:
Salary range: $xx–$xx annually. This range is a general guideline. Offers consider the position’s scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, and market and business considerations.
