Principal Fullstack Engineer (Backend-Oriented, Real-Time Infrastructure)

Who We Are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries. 

About the Product: 
Prisma Photonics is an award-winning platform that uses optical fiber sensing, AI-driven analytics, and real-time data processing to oversee power grids, oil & gas pipelines, and transportation systems—spanning hundreds of kilometers. Their solution replaces traditional physical sensors with intelligent signal processing powered by machine learning—ensuring early detection of anomalies like physical threats, failures, or inefficiencies before they escalate.

This is not a typical SaaS product—this is about real-time impact on life-critical infrastructure, operating at high scale, with complex backend and cloud architecture challenges.

About the Role: 
We’re looking for a Principal Fullstack Engineer with strong backend orientation and infrastructure experience. You’ll play a key role in developing robust backend services, implementing real-time alerting mechanisms, and working hands-on with Kubernetes, AWS, and real-time data pipelines. You'll work on the cutting edge of real-time infrastructure monitoring, leading the end-to-end delivery of scalable features across a high-load, microservices-based platform. Your work will directly support global utility operators in preventing disasters and protecting energy and transportation infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Software Design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, and improvement
• Building intelligent systems that provide real-time visibility into complex infrastructure networks
• Developing responsive, real-time alert mechanisms to detect anomalies and trigger proactive actions
• Collaborating with colleagues and internal customers on technical challenges
• Troubleshoot system issues and provide quick and thorough solutions
• Maintain high standards of software quality by utilizing good practices and habits

Required Competence and Skills:

• Experience with microservice architecture 
• Experience implementing real-time data communication features using WebSockets
• Proven experience in delivering large-scale, robust, available SaaS applications
• Expertise with development processes, including feature design, design reviews, code reviews, and automated testing
• Proven experience in end-to-end feature life cycle ownership from product requirements to architecture and design to development and testing
• Excellent English communication skills, both verbal and written
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.

Why Us?

• Work on a mission-critical platform that monitors and protects essential infrastructure
• Tackle real-world, real-time problems at a massive scale
• Join a senior-level, fast-moving team focused on engineering excellence
• Shape the architecture of a platform combining ML, optics, cloud, and edge computing
