Who We Are
Omen is miniaturizing lab-grade spectroscopy into field-deployable embedded sensors. Our systems deliver PPM-level trace analysis reports on the fluids in industrial machines and datacenters, allowing us to detect complex wear trends like hydraulic cylinder failures or coolant contamination in real-time.
The Role
You will join the engineering team working on the backend services and platform infrastructure that power our diagnostics. This is a blend of product-minded feature development and building robust, reliable systems. You'll bring a security conscious approach to your work, take ownership of project workstreams, and collaborate closely with the engineering team.
We're open to strong mid-level and senior engineers. Technical depth, good judgment, and genuine interest in hard problems matter more to us than a title.
Core Responsibilities
Backend Development: Design and build scalable, reliable backend services that handle sensitive industrial data.
Platform Engineering: Contribute to and improve our cloud infrastructure, keeping it performant and maintainable alongside the team.
Security Fundamentals: Apply security best practices throughout the development lifecycle. Thinking defensively and building systems that handle sensitive data with care.
Code Quality: Uphold high standards for code quality and technical documentation, contributing to a culture of engineering excellence.
Technical Collaboration: Work closely with the team on architectural decisions, ensuring alignment across backend and platform projects.
Requirements
Solid experience with backend development and platform engineering.
Security-conscious mindset; you think about security as part of how you build, not as an afterthought.
Strong proficiency in Python.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and distributed infrastructure.
Familiarity with API design and responsible handling of sensitive data.
In-office 5 days a week at our SF office.
