The posting

About Revel

Revel is building the software infrastructure that controls the world's most critical hardware systems, across aerospace, energy, robotics, defense, and advanced manufacturing. Our platform replaces outdated tooling with a modern, high-performance stack for commanding, monitoring, and deploying real-world systems. Engineers rely on Revel to operate hardware where safety, speed, reliability, and clarity matter. As we scale, we're expanding the real-time software layer that connects control systems to the operators and applications that depend on them.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to build the software that connects Revel's real-time control system to operators and applications. Our backend includes the core runtime that executes RevelCode – our proprietary language for deterministic hardware control – the command and telemetry bus, and the services and APIs behind the Revel Console.

You will work primarily in Rust on systems that deliver commands, provide live visibility into hardware and automation, and support configuration and deployment. Revel operates in industrial environments where reliability matters, a missed command can have physical consequences, and customer systems may run without internet access.

What You'll Do

- Design and build backend services and core runtime components in Rust.

- Improve command delivery and live telemetry transport between the runtime, backend services, APIs, and UIs.

- Define and implement clear behavior for connection loss, recovery, and failures.

- Build services and APIs for system configuration, deployment, control, and monitoring.

- Investigate latency, throughput, and reliability issues across runtime and service boundaries.

- Work with embedded engineers on the interface between device drivers and the runtime.

- Work with frontend and product teams to support operator workflows and shape technical requirements.

- Maintain production systems with a focus on correctness, performance, and long-term reliability.

Must-Have Experience

- 7+ years of backend or systems engineering experience.

- Proficiency in Rust, or strong C++ and systems programming experience with a genuine interest in learning Rust.

- Production experience with concurrent programming, network communication, and message delivery, streaming data, or real-time transport.

- Ability to diagnose complex system behavior and make sound design decisions when requirements are still taking shape.

- Experience building and operating services where failure has consequences beyond a retry.

Plusses

- Experience with hardware, industrial control, IoT, or real-time systems.

- Experience with on-premise deployments or systems that operate without internet access.

Team & Exposure

You will work closely with a small, highly technical team building the core of Revel's platform. This role is cross-functional: you'll partner with embedded engineers on the hardware interface and with frontend and product teams on operator workflows. You will have meaningful ownership over system design and contribute directly to how Revel's runtime and control infrastructure evolves.

Why Revel

- Work on software that commands and monitors real-world hardware.

- Tackle challenging problems in real-time systems, reliability, and distributed communication.

- High ownership and impact within a fast-moving engineering team.

- Opportunity to help shape the future of our platform.

Benefits

- Health insurance: We offer comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage to support you and your family.

- 401(k): Save for your future with our 401(k) plan.

- Equity: All full-time employees receive equity, ensuring that you share in Revel's success and growth.

- Life insurance: Company-paid life insurance gives you and your family peace of mind.

- Parental leave: We offer paid maternity and paternity leave to support new parents.

- Catered lunch: We provide catered lunch five days a week, so you can stay fueled and focused.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
