We are looking for software engineers, preferably proficient in TypeScript. We prefer people who are comfortable in a full-stack role and have superhero strengths in building scalable backends. We play with a lot of hardware and spend a lot of time thinking about developer UX. We like written communications. We prefer to keep things simple and don't overthink first implementations. You should generally be curious, comfortable with the unknown, love experimentation, and be able to move fast.
Below is a quick description of some of our projects.
Backend APIOur high-level goal is to build a device/manufacturer agnostic integration layer that connects to various devices and exposes their functionality through a simple API. This task involves integrating dozens of different IoT brands and their protocols (Z-Wave, Zigbee, BACnet, OEM API...etc) and neatly organizing them amongst common functionality. We spend a lot of time building this part of our stack.
Client Libraries & APIsOur customers tend to be quite technical and some of them even contribute code to our SDKs. In general, we spend a lot of time creating tools and client libraries to make interfacing their applications with devices easier. We strive to standardize device functions across brands and hide all the nasty complexity away.
Qualifications:4+ years of full-stack development experience with expertise in TypeScript.
Strong in SQL, particularly with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
Familiarity with SRE principles, including incident management, monitoring, and system reliability.
Experience in designing and maintaining scalable backend APIs and client libraries, with a focus on performance, reliability, and developer experience.
You maintain a healthy balance between perfectionism and actually getting stuff done
Prior experience working with both high growth stage private start ups and larger scale companies.
Previous experience or interest in IoT, hardware integration, or related fields is a bonus.
