About the role

The Nuclear Company is hiring a Backend Engineer to build the server-side systems behind NOS modules and applications. You will report to the Director of Product Engineering and work in the Product Engineering squad. NOS is the software platform behind one of the largest nuclear buildouts in the United States, and this role builds the APIs, services, and data access the products run on.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You will design and build backend services and APIs for NOS applications, model and access data, and make sure the server side is reliable, secure, and fast. You work with the Staff Software Engineer and product engineers on the applications and with the platform squad on shared services.

You will write production code, review pull requests, debug production issues, and build backends that hold up in a regulated, safety-critical setting.

Responsibilities

• Build backend services and APIs. Design, build, and maintain the server-side systems behind NOS modules and applications.

• Model and access data. Design schemas, queries, and data access patterns that are correct and performant.

• Keep the backend reliable and secure. Build for uptime, handle errors well, and follow security and access-control requirements.

• Integrate with the platform. Use shared platform services, data, and integrations rather than rebuilding them.

• Support the full lifecycle. Write tests, wire services into CI/CD, and support what you ship in production.
• Partner with product and platform engineers. Work across the squads so backends fit the applications and the platform.

Required Experience

• 5+ years building production backend systems and APIs.

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent production experience.

• Strong skills in at least one backend language (Python, Go, Java, TypeScript, or similar).

• Experience designing APIs and working with relational and/or non-relational databases.

• Experience with at least one major cloud (AWS preferred) and modern CI/CD.

• A solid grounding in testing, security, and reliability practices.

• Good written and verbal communication.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in a regulated or safety-critical industry (nuclear, aerospace, defense, energy, medical).

• Experience with event-driven systems, streaming, or real-time data.

• Experience with OT/IT integration or industrial data.

• Experience building backends for mobile or in-field applications.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation packages
• 401k with company match
• Medical, dental, vision plans
• Generous vacation policy, plus holidays
