Back-End Engineer – Edge AI/CV Orchestration

About the role

Rime is looking for an experienced Edge AI/CV Orchestration Engineer to enhance and scale the core engine that manages AI workloads on resource‑constrained edge devices. You will bridge backend infrastructure and physical hardware, ensuring efficient, reliable operation of Jetson‑based edge fleets.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimise new features for the Python‑based orchestration engine.
• Implement robust resource allocation, task scheduling, and priority management across a fleet of edge devices.
• Profile and fine‑tune AI/CV pipelines on NVIDIA Jetson platforms, resolving performance bottlenecks in the Linux environment.
• Maintain and evolve APIs and microservices that expose orchestration capabilities.
• Collaborate with hardware and AI teams to integrate new models and ensure seamless deployment.

Required profile

• 3‑5+ years of experience in backend development, systems programming, or DevOps with a focus on distributed or embedded systems.
• Strong expertise in Python, including asynchronous programming (asyncio) and system‑level scripting.
• Hands‑on experience with NVIDIA Jetson devices (Orin Nano, Xavier NX, AGX) and the JetPack SDK.
• Deep knowledge of Linux system administration, shell scripting, networking, and performance tuning tools (top, htop, perf).
• Proven ability to design, build, and maintain APIs and microservices.
