Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Position Overview

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer at Anno.ai, you will design, build, deploy, and maintain production systems used for high-throughput data collection, fusion, and analytics across both cloud platforms and deployed edge environments. You will collaborate closely with infrastructure, data, product, platform, and field engineering teams, serving as a key technical contributor driving system performance, reliability, and usability.

This role is part of a fast-moving technology development group. We seek individuals who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and deliver solutions with minimal oversight—while also contributing to engineering rigor and cross-team architecture.

The ideal candidate for this role would reside in Minnesota.

Candidates need to be able to obtain and maintain U.S. Government security clearance (U.S. citizenship required). The company would pay for clearance costs. They also need to be able to travel up to 20% of the time.

What You'll Do

• Build full-stack systems that enable data ingestion, fusion, analysis, and visualization across cloud and edge environments
• Develop distributed services that handle real-time and recorded sensor and media data at scale
• Shape system architectures to support mission-critical performance, reliability, and operational resilience
• Design data models and storage strategies that ensure integrity, performance, and efficient retrieval
• Integrate internal services and external partner systems to support end-to-end workflows
• Create intuitive operator-focused user interfaces and mission-support tooling
• Implement testing, monitoring, deployment, and observability practices to ensure stable and supportable systems
• Deploy and validate software on edge computing devices under lab environments and during field exercises
• Collaborate closely with other engineers, data teams, and field personnel to deliver production-ready autonomous system capabilities

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Computer Engineering)
• 5+ years of software development experience across UI, backend services, and data/storage layers
• 3+ years of Python development experience
• 3+ years of Typescript and React experience for frontend application development
• PostgreSQL or similar relational databases (schema design and optimization)
• Designing and integrating secure APIs and web services
• Deploying and operating applications in AWS, familiar with ECS, EC2, Lambda, and S3
• Containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes
• Working effectively in both Linux and Windows environments
• Troubleshooting distributed systems and network-level interactions (e.g., TCP/IP, routing, VLANs, bandwidth constraints)
• CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows
• Communicating complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Operating with high ownership and autonomy across multiple concurrent projects
• Using modern collaborative development workflows (e.g., Git-based)
• Ability to obtain and maintain U.S. Government security clearance (U.S. Citizenship required)
• Ability to travel up to 20%

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing and deploying systems that handle real-time or high-volume sensor, media, or telemetry data
• Strong architectural design skills involving distributed systems, data synchronization, and networked compute environments
• Familiarity with edge computing, constrained compute deployments, or field-operated systems
• Experience with network video systems, streaming pipelines, or sensor fusion environments
• Ability to perform root-cause analysis and develop corrective design strategies
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams (software, hardware, field/ops) and drive outcomes to completion
• Familiarity with SBOM supply chain integrity
• Prior experience supporting U.S. Department of War programs, cUAS systems, or mission-critical autonomous platforms
• Proven ability to communicate clearly under operational constraints and evolving mission requirements
