Vectra AI’s Office of the CTO is seeking to expand the Emerging Technologies team to include a Senior Software Engineer contributing to the company’s next generation of AI-based products and services. This role will focus on server-side, back-end, and API-integration responsibilities for ongoing research initiatives and prototypes.
The ideal candidate will both collaborate through the difficult challenges of early-stage research and development while also working independently and autonomously in their specialized area of focus.

- Transition prototypes from early-stage design into long-term supportable state in partnership and collaboration with peers across organizational boundaries.
- Research emerging or newly viable technologies to identify innovation opportunities.
- Promote continuous learning, experimentation, and collaboration throughout CTO organization and across organizational boundaries at Vectra AI.
Individual Responsibilities:
- Develop, test, and maintain server-side code and back-end services for early-phase R&D initiatives.
- Design and implement API integrations and glue code to connect prototyped systems and services.
- Leverage software engineering expertise to collaborate with cross-functional teams chartered to identify and enable opportunities for research acceleration through platform capabilities.
- Capacity to flex into adjacent technical domains to maintain research velocity.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in software development, with a focus on server-side and back-end development.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Proficiency in common programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or Rust.
- Strong experience with API development and integration.
- Solid understanding of traditional and non-traditional (e.g., Graph) database technologies.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization technologies.
- Experience working in R&D organization.
- Familiarity with machine learning and data processing frameworks.
