- Own the full lifecycle of development including design, testing, release, and deployment
- Interact directly with other engineering, product and support teams
- Automate testing of the code you contribute
- Review pull requests on a daily basis
Qualifications:
- Experience with C++ (or Rust) and Golang
- Prior experience with IoT protocols – specifically, Z-Wave
- Meaningful experience in Senior Software Engineering roles (i.e. a high level of proficiency in your area, the ability to work independently and capacity to mentor more junior team members)
- A deep understanding of computer science and software engineering fundamentals
- A preference for simple yet fully functional and extensible solutions
- Ability to quickly iterate without compromising on quality
- Ability to discover and resolve hard to diagnose issues with device connectivity and reliability
