Who You Are

---------------

Fellow is looking for a Backend Engineer to build, scale, and operate the backend systems and IoT infrastructure that connect our physical products to the cloud. A successful candidate will possess excellent backend engineering fundamentals paired with hands-on experience owning a connected-device fleet end to end — from secure provisioning through OTA delivery. This is a rare opportunity to own the full device-to-cloud stack for physical products used in kitchens around the world.

Reporting to the Director of Firmware and Software, you will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimizing our backend systems and IoT infrastructure, and will serve as the connective tissue between our hardware devices, mobile application, and cloud backend. You bring strong technical judgment, a high engineering bar, and the operational instincts to ship reliable systems. We are looking for someone who can drive technical decisions independently while remaining agile and pragmatic. You'll champion AI, automation, and new ways of working to drive the effectiveness and efficiency of our engineering team.

This is a hands-on technical role. You'll set the architectural direction for our device-to-cloud stack, and you'll also roll up your sleeves to build, ship, and operate it yourself.
