Senior Software Engineer - Core Engineering

Architect the Future of Human-Computer Integration at IAXOV

About Us

IAXOV is pioneering the full senses-integrated-compute platform relied on by the world to blend human and computer beings through hyper-personalized engagement. Our flagship products include STRATEVITA, an AI-powered talent management platform, and UNIFYZE, a strategic intelligence platform for AI-driven planning and execution management.

We're not just building AI tools – we're fundamentally changing the relationship between humans and computing power through real-time computer beings that can act independently or collaboratively. Our solutions are already making waves in multiple sectors:

• Powering career readiness assessments for post-secondary institutions in Calgary
• Automating complex engineering studies in the automation & controls industry
• Developing groundbreaking solutions for the visually impaired
• Streamlining innovation ecosystem coaching and onboarding processes

The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Core Engineering team, you'll be at the forefront of our mission to fundamentally change the relationship between humans and computing power. You'll own the engineering aspects of our proprietary processes, code, LLMs, and integration layers that form the foundation of our senses-integrated-compute platform.

This is a rare opportunity to architect systems that will define the future of human-computer integration, working with cutting-edge technologies in a fast-paced startup environment with a $1T total addressable market in our sights.

Core Responsibilities

Build brilliant systems. Solve complex problems. Create the future.

• Architect and implement our next-generation senses-integrated-compute platform, enhancing our current production deployments through innovation in scalability, flexibility, and integration
• Lead the development of real-time capabilities for bidirectional audio, video, and sensor streaming for human-computer integration
• Design and build sophisticated turn detection systems with multiple configurable modes to accommodate different interaction styles
• Create robust integration layers between our platform and external systems (WebRTC, storage, databases, etc.)
• Implement error handling and recovery mechanisms to ensure resilient, production-quality systems
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Front-End, Middleware, and Systems Integration to deliver cohesive solutions
• Mentor and guide other developers while establishing engineering best practices

What You'll Bring

Passion for improving the world. Expertise in building exceptional systems.

• Engineering Excellence: Deep software engineering expertise with a focus on modular, maintainable, and scalable architectures
• Real-time Systems Experience: Proven track record building real-time communication systems, preferably with WebRTC, WebSockets, and audio/video streaming
• AI/ML Integration Knowledge: Experience integrating with LLM APIs and building systems that leverage AI capabilities
• Modern Development Approach: Comfort using GenAI for code acceleration while maintaining a keen understanding of system stability and effectiveness
• Full-stack Capabilities: Proficiency across the stack from backend services to API design to frontend integration
• Cloud Architecture Skills: Experience with cloud services, distributed systems, and microservice architectures
• Problem-solving Mindset: Ability to tackle complex technical challenges with creative, elegant solutions
• Communication Excellence: Clear communication skills to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Technical Skills

How you think is more important than the way you've expressed your thoughts in the past.

• Languages: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and other relevant languages
• Technologies: WebSockets, WebRTC, real-time communication protocols
• AI/ML: Experience with remote and local LLM/VLM integration
• Audio Processing: Knowledge of audio streaming, processing, and conversion
• Video Processing: Experience with video streaming, processing, and conversion
• Cloud Services: Azure (preferred), AWS, or GCP
• Databases: Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases
• DevOps: CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and deployment automation

The Ideal Candidate

You're an engineering leader who sees GenAI not as a replacement for solid engineering principles but as a powerful accelerator for building exceptional systems. You thrive in startup environments where you can wear multiple hats and directly influence product direction. Most importantly, you approach your work with unwavering integrity – our number one requirement.

You're excited by the challenge of fundamentally changing the relationship between humans and computing power, and you understand the technical complexities involved in creating seamless, reliable senses-integrated-compute experiences.

What We Offer

• Cutting-edge Work: Build technology that's redefining the relationship between humans and computing power
• Equity Potential: Share in our success with potential stock options
• Autonomy and Impact: Own significant technical decisions and see your work directly impact users
• Growth Opportunity: Join a rapidly growing startup with tremendous potential for career advancement
• Collaborative Culture: Work with a passionate team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible

How to Apply

Email: [email protected]

If you're ready to join our Core Engineering team and help us revolutionize the relationship between humans and computing power, we want to hear from you. Rather than a traditional resume, we invite you to submit a thoughtful proposal or pitch that showcases your vision, approach, and unique value proposition for this role.

Show us how you think, how you solve problems, and how you would approach building our next-generation senses-integrated-compute platform. We value quality over quantity – a well-considered, thoughtful submission that demonstrates a "bias for least action" will impress us far more than rushed, generic output.

IAXOV is committed to creating an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued and respected. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
