Xneural develops next-generation airspace surveillance systems thatprotect civil and critical infrastructure, based on distributed radar sensorsand cloud-based AI perception. Our mission is to make the lower airspacevisible through Drone Detection as a Service deployed on existingtelecommunications infrastructure.

We are building a highly scalable radar perception platform capable ofdetecting, tracking, and classifying airborne objects in complexreal-world environments.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong operations focus to build and operate the backend of our distributed radar platform. You will work across distributed systems, cloudinfrastructure, deployment automation, databases, messaging systems, and observability, with a strong emphasis on reliability and sound engineering practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build backend services for ingesting, processing, and distributing data fromdistributed sensor nodes
• Build and maintain reliable CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows
• Establish and operate development, staging, and production environments
• Design systems that degrade gracefully and recover from partial failures
• Operate and improve databases, messaging systems, and other stateful infrastructure
• Build metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting for the platform
• Automate infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code and cloud-native tooling
• Define backend architecture and drive engineering practices, mentoring engineers as the teamgrows

Nice to Have

• Experience operating production systems across multiple cloud providers, on-premises, and edgeenvironments
• Experience with distributed edge or sensor systems
• Experience with observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
• Experience designing or operating authentication and authorization systems
• Experience with geospatial or time-series data
• Knowledge of database replication, high availability, and disaster recovery
• German language skills are beneficial but not required

What We Offer

• High autonomy and influence on architecture, infrastructure, and tooling
• Direct collaboration with radar, signal processing, and product teams
