HoverVerse Technologies, Inc. is hiring: Senior Software Engineer (DevEdgeOps) i

Notes:

• This is a contractor role for approx. 40 hours per week.
• This is a fully remote role, applicant must reside in USA or Canada with resident country work permit.

Why this role exists

We’re displacing keyboards, mice, and touchscreens with an innovative operating system called Hover OS that includes SurfaceWare™ technology in the stack. SurfaceWare powers and Hover OS enables touchless, gesture-based interactive displays. We need a senior engineer who loves owning systems end-to-end—someone who can ship reliable code to both cloud and edge devices, and level up our DevEdgeOps practice along the way. This is a hands-on role. You’ll write code most days, automate everything you can, and make the product sturdier, faster, and easier to ship, update and maintain.

What you’ll do

• Build & ship Hover OS features across edge devices and cloud services (Python/C/C++/TypeScript/JS as well as Mender.io/Azure IoT) with a bias for instrumentation, testability, and reliability.

• Design practical DevEdgeOps pipelines for build/test/deploy to cloud, on-prem, and edge targets (CI/CD, artifacts, rollouts, OTA updates).

• Own deployment hygiene: infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Ansible), containerization (Docker/K3s), secrets, monitoring, and logging.

• Harden performance at the edge: image footprints, boot times, resource constraints, CPU/accelerator usage, and offline-first behavior.

• Make operations boring: alerting that matters, dashboards that explain themselves, graceful rollbacks, and safe canaries.

• Collaborate tightly with Product, Solutions, and CV/embedded teammates to turn requirements into shipped experiences.

• Collaborate with CTO, Product Lead and Devs to streamline comprehensive QA.

• Raise the bar via code reviews, docs, and small patterns that others can copy—no empire building, just clean, repeatable practices.

The kind of problems you’ll touch

• Delivering low-latency gesture & computer-vision workloads on embedded Linux.

• Packaging and updating edge apps reliably across a fleet with multiple tenants.

• Integrating Hover OS with SurfaceWare™ inside (our proprietary ISO operating system) with external hardware and partner systems.

• Deploying Hover OS at scale through a partner channel supporting everything from high volume assembly to bespoke one-off high-end integrations.

• Re-platforming services between cloud and edge when latency or cost demands it.

What you’ve probably done

• 5+ years building production software with a track record of shipping and supporting it.

• Designed or owned CI/CD for multi-target builds (edge + cloud).

• Used Terraform/Ansible, Docker/Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP).

• Written solid code in Python and/or C/C++, with enough TypeScript/JS to be dangerous.

• Worked on embedded Linux (Debian; drivers, services, or real-time concerns) and know your way around systemd, cross-compilers, and Yocto (or similar).

• Built observability you trust (Prometheus/Grafana or ELK/OpenSearch) and can explain an outage with data.

• Comfortable with security basics for cloud + edge: least privilege, secret rotation, image signing, SBOMs.

Nice to have

• A degree in Computer Science, computer engineering or equivalent.

• Experience working with channel partners like MSP, VAR, Integrators.

• HCI/UX instincts for interactive installations.

• Computer vision familiarity.

• Domain work in industrial, healthcare, or public-space deployments.

What you’ll get

• Contractor full-time hours.

• A front-row seat to shape touchless interaction in the real world.

• The chance to make an outsized impact on Hover OS from day one.

• And work with a dream team on cutting edge of ambient computing.
