About Nethermind

Nethermind is a blockchain research and software engineering company building high-performance infrastructure, security tooling, and cryptographic systems across the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond. We work closely with protocol teams, L2s, and ZK projects to help design, review, and secure cutting-edge decentralized systems.

We are expanding our Team and are looking for a Backend / Telemetry Engineer to build the cloud systems that support connected physical devices and real-world deployments.

This is a backend role for someone who wants to work on machine data, events, fleet infrastructure, dashboards, APIs, and operational systems.

Responsibilities:

• Build backend services for telemetry, device state, events, dashboards, and partner integrations.

• Design data models for machines, locations, users, events, status, diagnostics, and operational activity.

• Build APIs for edge devices, internal tools, dashboards, and AI workflows.

• Implement event ingestion pipelines, monitoring, alerting, and audit logs.

• Work with embedded engineers on device-to-cloud protocols.

• Work with product and business teams to define the data needed for demos, pilots, and customer reporting.

• Support security, reliability, observability, and scalability from the beginning.

Requirements:

• Strong backend engineering experience.

• Experience building production systems, APIs, databases, event pipelines, or telemetry platforms.

• Strong programming ability in TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, Rust, or similar.

• Experience with relational databases, time-series data, queues, event streaming, or cloud infrastructure.

• Understanding of authentication, authorization, logging, monitoring, and secure system design.

• English fluency required.

Must Haves:

• Experience with IoT, fleet management, retail technology, payments-adjacent systems, kiosks, robotics, or industrial systems.

• Experience with high-volume event ingestion or real-time monitoring.

• Experience with dashboards, analytics, alerting, field-service tools, or operational reporting.

• Experience with transaction-like event flows, reconciliation, audit trails, or financial-grade data systems.

Success in the first 90 days:

• You build the first reliable telemetry backend for prototypes and pilots.

• Devices can register, send events, report health, and expose useful data.

• The team has clear data models and APIs.

• You create observability that makes field debugging possible.

Success in the first 6-12 months:

• The backend supports multiple pilot environments and connected devices.

• The platform can show machine status, operational events, diagnostics, and performance data.

• You become a key owner of the data and telemetry platform.
