This is a remote position.About Monaire       ​          Monaire is building the infrastructure layer for intelligent commercial HVAC. We combine on-device sensors, smart thermostats, and machine-learning systems to automate control, surface real operational insight, and materially reduce energy waste at scale.   This is not offline modeling or notebook ML. Models run in production, interact with physical systems, and must be observable, debuggable, and correct. The platform spans edge devices, cloud services, streaming pipelines, control logic, and ML inference.          Engineers here work on:       Data ingestion and streaming at scale from heterogeneous hardware    Low-latency decision pipelines and control loops    ML systems that survive missing data, drift, and adversarial real-world conditions    Infrastructure for model deployment, monitoring, and rollback    Apps and services that customers depend on to run their buildings every day   The market is large, broken, and technically underserved. We’re scaling the system and need engineers who care about correctness, performance, and ownership — people who want to build infrastructure that actually controls the physical world, not just dashboards that look good in demos.          Role OverviewAs a Senior Backend Engineer, you will design and build high-scale, cloud-native backend systems that power real-time monitoring, analytics, and automation for commercial HVAC/R operations.You will take end-to-end ownership of critical services, influence architectural decisions, and mentor other engineers while working closely with product, data, and infrastructure teams. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex distributed systems problems and want to see their work have real-world impact.Key Responsibilities       Design, develop, and operate scalable backend services for a high-growth SaaS platform    Own the end-to-end lifecycle of services—from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and optimization    Build and evolve distributed, event-driven microservices handling high-volume data and real-time workflows    Ensure high availability, reliability, performance, and security of production systems    Drive architectural decisions around APIs, data models, service boundaries, and system integrations    Lead prototyping and proof-of-concepts for new ideas, features, and platform capabilities    Collaborate closely with frontend, data, DevOps, QA, and product teams to deliver cohesive solutions    Identify technical debt and proactively improve system design, developer experience, and operational excellence    Mentor and guide other engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and best practices          Thrive in a fast-paced startup environment with high ownership and accountability             RequirementsMust-Have Skills       4–6 years of experience building and operating medium to large-scale backend systems    Strong hands-on experience with Go, Python.    Proven experience designing cloud-native, distributed systems for SaaS platforms    Strong understanding of microservices architecture, REST APIs, and asynchronous processing    Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases    Excellent grasp of computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, complexity)    Expertise in debugging, performance tuning, and production issue resolution    Experience writing clean, maintainable, well-documented code    Solid experience with Docker and AWS     Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams    Self-driven mindset with the ability to learn, adapt, and lead by example   Nice-to-Have Skills       Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration    Experience with message queues and streaming systems (Kafka, AWS SQS/SNS, Kinesis)    Exposure to big data and workflow platforms (Spark, Flink, Airflow)    Experience with API gateways (Kong, Ambassador), service meshes, or Vault    Familiarity with caching systems, distributed tracing, logging, and monitoring stacks    Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments    Prior experience in IoT, telemetry, time-series data, or industrial systems    Startup or 0→1 product-building experience   QualificationsBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field from a reputed institution          Benefits       Competitive salary + equity with meaningful ownership    Comprehensive health insurance (self, spouse, children, and parents)    Remote-first, flexible work culture    Opportunity to work on high-impact systems with climate and sustainability impact    Strong emphasis on engineering excellence, ownership, and growth    ​Collaborative, inclusive, and low-ego team culture
