Role Overview

RIME Platform is seeking a Back End Engineer specializing in Edge AI/CV Orchestration to join our team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This full-time position is for professionals with 5-10 years of experience who will focus on enhancing and scaling our core engine that manages AI workloads on resource-constrained edge devices.

Position Summary

The primary mission of this role is to improve the orchestration engine that dictates which AI tasks run, when they run, and how they perform on hardware such as the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. The successful candidate will serve as the bridge between our backend infrastructure and deployed physical hardware, ensuring efficient, reliable, and scalable operation of our edge devices.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize new features for our Python-based backend orchestration engine.
• Implement robust solutions for resource allocation (CPU, GPU, memory), task scheduling, and priority management across a fleet of edge devices.
• Profile and fine-tune the performance of AI/CV pipelines on the Jetson platform, including deep dives into the Linux environment to resolve bottlenecks.
• Build and maintain scalable backend services and APIs (*, REST, gRPC) for remote deployment, monitoring, and updating of tasks.
• Improve automated deployment pipelines for pushing new AI models and orchestration logic to devices in the field.
• Act as the key troubleshooter for complex system-level issues spanning AI models, orchestration code, and the underlying Linux OS on Jetson hardware.

Required Qualifications

• Proven Experience: 3-5+ years of experience in backend development, systems programming, or DevOps, with a focus on distributed or embedded systems. The role generally requires 5-10 years of overall professional experience.
• Expert Python: Strong proficiency in Python, particularly for building backend services, asynchronous programming (*, asyncio), and system-level scripting.
• NVIDIA Jetson Expertise: Demonstrable, hands-on experience with the NVIDIA Jetson platform (*, Orin Nano, Xavier NX, AGX), including comfort with the JetPack SDK and its tools.
• Deep Linux Knowledge: Strong command of the Linux operating system, encompassing system administration, process management, shell scripting, networking, and performance tuning (*, using top, htop, perf).
• Backend Systems: Solid experience in designing, building, and maintaining APIs and microservices.

Preferred Skills

• Containerization: Experience with Docker, containerd, and/or edge-focused Kubernetes (K3s, MicroK8s).
• NVIDIA Stack: Direct experience with the NVIDIA stack, especially NVIDIA DeepStream, TensorRT, or Triton Inference Server.
• AI/CV Exposure: Understanding of the challenges in deploying computer vision or machine learning models.
• Other Languages: Experience with C++ or Go for performance-critical components.
• Fleet Management: Experience with IoT fleet management tools (*, AWS IoT Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, or Balena).
