Software Engineer

Hologram is building the future of IoT connectivity, delivering internet access to millions of connected devices worldwide. We process over 5 billion transactions per month across our global infrastructure—this isn't just another app, it's the invisible backbone powering everything from fleet tracking to smart city infrastructure. We tackle challenges of scale, reliability, and performance that few companies face.

Technical challenges that define careers. Our full-stack engineers solve problems most never encounter: building event streaming systems that handle millions of messages daily, optimizing databases processing terabytes of device data, and creating APIs that maintain sub-millisecond latency at global scale.

Technical ownership with global impact. We're async-first because systems at this scale require deep architectural thinking. When you optimize a database query or redesign an event streaming topology, you're potentially affecting autonomous vehicles, industrial sensors, and smart city infrastructure worldwide.

We look for engineers with insatiable curiosity and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. You're the type who digs deeper when things break, asks 'why' before 'how,' and isn't satisfied until the solution is bulletproof.

Crave genuine technical challenges: You want to solve problems most engineers never face: processing billions of records, ensuring 99.99% uptime, building systems that scale globally

Value tenacious ownership over tasks: You don’t just complete tasks, you immerse yourself in the “why,” define the “what,” architect the “how,” and follow through to meaningful results.

Relentlessly pursue growth: Technology evolves rapidly, and so do we. You embrace new challenges, learn quickly, and help others grow alongside you.

Think like a product engineer: You write code with customer impact in mind, aligning technical decisions with product direction and business context.

Strive for collaborative excellence: You multiply impact through mentoring, cross-functional partnership, and inclusive problem-solving. Great software comes from great teams.

We're seeking two skilled, hands-on full-stack engineers who love to code and take pride in delivering critical features with excellence. You'll tackle sophisticated technical challenges at the heart of global IoT connectivity, where your code directly powers how millions of devices stay connected.

• Data Pipeline Architecture: Design and optimize systems processing billions of usage records monthly
• Real-time Processing: Build robust backend services using Kafka for high-throughput, low-latency data streams
• Customer Dashboard Features: Contribute to interfaces presenting detailed status and analytics for thousands of customer SIM cards
• API Development: Create and maintain APIs powering both internal systems and customer integrations
• Full-Stack Solutions: Implement features spanning database optimization to user interface enhancements

Take ownership of end-to-end delivery: Independently complete assigned projects from conception to launch, understanding both the technical "how" and business "why" behind every feature.

Influence product decisions: Collaborate directly with product and design teams, using your technical expertise to inform priorities and requirements.

Contribute to technical excellence: Contribute to architectural discussions that balance existing patterns with innovative solutions for scale while elevating overall code quality.

• 3-5 years building, testing, and deploying production software
• Backend engineer with full-stack skills and strong data processing experience.
• Strong hands-on coding excellence: you write clean, maintainable code quickly and love the craft
• Portfolio of work you can showcase and discuss
• Experience with modern technologies: Python, Go, Rust, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Angular
• Proven experience with high-scale systems: databases, cloud infrastructure (AWS), API development, software architecture
• Proven ability to ship features: you move quickly from concept to production, balancing speed with quality

• Kafka or similar event streaming platforms
• Carrier integration or IoT connectivity experience
• Database optimization and performance tuning
