We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members.</span></p></div><p data-start="651" data-end="670"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Archer is best known for Midnight, our electric aircraft. This role isn't on that program. The AI Products Org builds consumer software for the general aviation industry. There's a lot we're not ready to talk about publicly yet, so this posting stays vague on purpose. What we can say: the products are real, they ship, and people use them every day.</span></p> <p data-start="651" data-end="670"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll build and maintain systems that servie as a critical link between physical hardware and backend services. You may write software that runs on embedded devices one day and scalable cloud services the next, requiring both breadth across systems and the ability to dive deep when needed.</span></p> <h3 data-start="1228" data-end="1250"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What You’ll Do:</span></h3> <ul data-start="1251" data-end="1907"> <li style="font-size: 12pt;" data-start="1251" data-end="1347"> <p data-start="1253" data-end="1347"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Design, build, and maintain software systems that span edge devices and cloud infrastructure</span></p> </li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;" data-start="1348" data-end="1438"> <p data-start="1350" data-end="1438"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Develop and support software running on Raspberry Pi and similar embedded environments</span></p> </li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;" data-start="1439" data-end="1494"> <p data-start="1441" data-end="1494"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Build scalable backend services using Python on AWS</span></p> </li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;" data-start="1495" data-end="1583"> <p data-start="1497" data-end="1583"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ensure reliable data flow and system integration between hardware and cloud services</span></p> </li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;" data-start="1584" data-end="1689"> <p data-start="1586" data-end="1689"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Monitor system performance and troubleshoot production issues across hardware and software boundaries</span></p> </li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;" data-start="1690" data-end="1782"> <p data-start="1692" data-end="1782"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following engineering best practices</span></p> </li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;" data-start="1783" data-end="1907"> <p data-start="1785" data-end="1907"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Adapt to changing priorities by contributing across software development, infrastructure, and hardware testing as needed</span></p> </li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br><strong>What You Need:</strong><br></span></p> <ul data-start="1947" data-en
