About the Role
We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed access control systems. Access Control is our second major product line, allowing users to manage their doors, schedules, and user credentials from virtually anywhere on their laptop or phone.
We consider our team a startup within a startup, with a fair amount of ownership and autonomy. You’ll be working alongside a dynamic team of firmware, backend, and frontend engineers to develop this product line.
What You'll Do
- Build and drive best-in-class products and user experiences rather than just features.
- Take early-stage, less-than-fully-fleshed-out product ideas and drive them to completion.
- Tackle large, complex problems with no clear answers as a self-motivated problem solver.
- Learn new technologies while being entrusted with the technical ownership of major systems, sharing knowledge with the team.
- Embrace a growth mindset in a fast-growing startup environment.
What You Bring
- BS or a graduate degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or science.
- 5+ years of industry software engineering experience.
- Proficiency in at least one common server programming language (Python, Go).
- Experience in scalable distributed system design, including databases, queues, and blob storage.
- Experience working in an agile team software development environment.
- Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week.
Benefits
