Senior Backend Engineer

Outsight's software solutions track the motion of people and vehicles using 3D LiDAR data.

Operators of transportation hubs like airports and train stations but also sport venues, road infrastructures and industrial sites can now access accurate and anonymous Spatial Intelligence data, in order to improve operations and increase user safety and satisfaction.

Our international team of scientists and engineers drive the development of our solutions from Paris, San Francisco, Sophia-Antipolis (Nice) & Hong Kong. To support our global outreach, we also operate a commercial office in Spain.

Context

This role focuses on bridging data warehouse storage with live execution engines. You will build and optimize the high-availability API layers, protocol engines, and streaming communication paths that expose core spatial context to downstream real-time applications.

Responsibilities

• Develop and scale concurrent backend microservices responsible for high-throughput spatial data querying.
• Build, secure, and maintain high-performance context communication engines and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
• Optimize streaming data pipelines and ensure robust websocket/gRPC data delivery mechanisms.
• Standardize organizational API structures, ensuring a decoupled architecture where the Spatial Apps group can consume data seamlessly.

Requirements for the role

• You must have native experience building Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations, tool definitions, and JSON schemas that allow autonomous LLM agents to perform zero-shot data discovery.
• High proficiency in leveraging automated execution frameworks to minimize administrative engineering boilerplate is required.
