About CoreConnect
CoreConnect, a flagship product by VentureOne, the commercialization arm of the Advanced Technology Research Council, acts as the digital glue within the complex ecosystem of autonomous mobility in logistics.
CoreConnect is building the infrastructure layer for autonomous operations in complex ecosystems. We develop a robot orchestration platform that enables logistics and other operators to deploy, manage, and scale fleets of autonomous robots across real-world environments. Our technology sits at the intersection of robotics, operations software, and intelligent automation, and we're just getting started.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) who prioritizes system reliability and product impact. You will be a key contributor to CoreConnect, developing a scalable Hexagonal Backend API service that serves as the primary interface for our commercial ecosystem. We value engineers who operate with a high degree of autonomy, technical pragmatism, and a commitment to operational excellence.
We are specifically looking for candidates who demonstrate ownership, pragmatism, and feel comfortable with navigating ambiguity.
Key Responsibilities
- Core Engineering & Architecture: Design, implement, and optimize scalable Kotlin Spring Boot backend services using a Hexagonal architecture for high-performance fleet orchestration.
- Data & Integration Strategy: Manage complex data layers (Postgres/PostGIS, TimescaleDB) and develop a Unified Abstraction Layer to integrate diverse autonomous vehicle APIs for fleet-agnostic control.
- Real-time Systems & Optimization: Drive the technical roadmap for real-time data engineering, resolving bottlenecks in high-frequency data ingestion (MQTT/WebSockets) to ensure sub-second latency.
- Security, Scalability & Observability: Enforce standards for platform security and observability, implementing Multi-tenant Architecture (RLS) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Engineering Leadership, and DevSecOps to build high-quality solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.
- Engineering Culture: Mentor engineers, lead rigorous code reviews, introduce process improvements, and foster a culture of operational excellence.
Qualifications
- Experience & Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or other relevant fields and 5+ years of professional experience with Java or Kotlin and Spring Boot delivering well-tested, complex systems in a SaaS startup environment
- Architecture & Data Mastery: Deep proficiency in distributed systems, Hexagonal Architecture, and scalable API design. Expertise in SQL (PostgreSQL), geospatial data (GIS/PostGIS), and time-series data (TimescaleDB).
- Real-Time & Integrations: Experience architecting low-latency communication (WebSockets, MQTT) and building abstraction layers for third-party vendor APIs.
- Mindset & Execution: Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, balance architectural purity with commercial objectives (managing technical debt, shipping MVPs), and take full ownership of the code lifecycle and incident management (root-cause analysis and prevention).
- Security & Quality: A consistent focus on software quality and security best practices with hands-on experience in automated testing (unit and integration test suites), SAST, DAST, and setting up platform observability tooling.
- Complementary Expertise:
- Frontend Proficiency: Practical experience building interfaces with React or Next.js and TypeScript.
- Infrastructure & DevOps: Mastery of cloud environments, specifically AWS and Kubernetes (EKS), along with CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or Helm)
- Industry Experience: Direct background in logistics, robotics, or fleet management systems.
- Communication: Fluency in Business English is a must.
