Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Chicago, IL

Design, build, and operate highly concurrent, distributed backend services in Go. Drive architecture, performance optimization, reliability, observability, and secure development practices. Partner with frontend, platform, autonomy, and embedded teams to deliver mission-critical systems from edge devices to cloud production.

Design, build, and operate secure, scalable AWS cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes (EKS) platforms using Infrastructure as Code. Create self-service tooling and CI/CD pipelines, enforce security best practices, improve reliability and observability, and collaborate with backend, SRE, data, autonomy, and security teams to support mission-critical autonomous systems and compliance requirements.

Build and scale high-performance, data-driven React web applications and visualization-heavy, map-based interfaces. Integrate with REST/GraphQL APIs, optimize rendering for real-time large datasets, contribute to frontend architecture, reusable UI systems, testing, and cross-functional collaboration to support mission-critical workflows.

Build and scale performant, data-driven React web applications and reusable UI components. Integrate with REST/GraphQL backends, support real-time data and map-based visualizations, optimize rendering for large datasets, collaborate across product, design, and backend teams, and maintain frontend architecture, testing, and documentation for mission-critical systems.

Design, build, and operate secure, scalable AWS-based cloud platforms and Kubernetes (EKS) environments. Lead infrastructure-as-code development, CI/CD automation, observability, reliability practices (SLIs/SLOs), cost optimization, and cross-team collaboration to enable mission-critical autonomous systems.

Design, build, and operate scalable, highly concurrent backend services in Go. Architect distributed, fault-tolerant systems, optimize performance and reliability, define APIs and service boundaries, improve observability and operational readiness, and collaborate cross-functionally to support mission-critical autonomous deployments.

Lead technical execution for robotics, autonomy, software, hardware, and defense programs. Own schedules, risks, dependencies, integration and test planning, field testing, stakeholder communication, and delivery of mission-ready systems while coordinating cross-functional engineering and customer teams.

Lead design and delivery of end-to-end integrations between C2, communications, and commercial systems. Build backend services, APIs, SDKs, and front-end interfaces. Mentor engineers, shape integration architecture, engage open-source developer community, and own implementation, deployment, validation, and support for production integration solutions.

As an Embedded Perception Engineer, you'll develop perception pipelines for autonomous systems, focusing on vision model development, sensor fusion, and optimization on embedded hardware.

Lead full contract lifecycle for government and commercial agreements: draft, negotiate, ensure FAR/DFARS compliance, support proposals, advise program teams, manage records, and improve contract processes.
