At GRASP Innovations we are obsessed with inefficiencies, especially those within aviation security. We love to travel but hate standing in line unnecessarily (standing in line in general actually) and are convinced a combination of smart technologies and data handling products can help solve this.
Our security checkpoint management system is an effective tool to manage daily operations and enables deep performance analyses within airport security checkpoints. It combines granular data gathered through our IR-UWB radars and in-depth knowledge on a complex process into a unique solution. We’re looking for someone to take our application to the next level and to new industries.
We are searching for an experienced backend engineer that will help us deliver solutions within the airport security domain. We are using IoT radars to manage crowds and optimise the security process using data driven algorithms.
You’ll have the opportunity to decide and shape the future of our solution. We’re looking for a Senior/Medior developer to join our growing team (7 developers) You will be working with market leading airports, security companies and technology integrators.
A successful candidate will posses the ability to deliver an end to end solution using a complete backend stack (writing runtime python code as well as implementing infrastructure changes using terraform), communicate progress and refine solutions for complex business problems. This also means that in this role you’ll have the freedom and responsibility to help shape our future.
What you’ll do
Develop our backend that IoT devices connect to and store the data in our postgresql database, query this data and return it on endpoints that further displays the data on a web application, all hosted on GCP. You’ll be working within the tech team consisting of frontenders, backenders and a data scientist. Your work consists of:
- Backend Development: Design, develop, and maintain the server-side logic of our web applications.
- Database Management: Create and optimize database schemas, queries, and manage data storage.
- API Development: Build and maintain robust and scalable APIs to facilitate communication between the frontend and backend systems (all our logic is implemented in backend).
- Integration: Create apps to integrate multiple data sources (including IoT data streams, APIs, external databases).
- Security Implementation: Implement and adhere to security best practices, including data encryption, authentication, and authorization mechanisms.
