About the Role

We’re looking for an early-career engineer who cares as much about how a platform feels to use as how it’s built. You’ll work directly with a Principal Engineer who has architected and guided most of our platform, learning to build software that meets real customer needs the first time. This is a hands-on engineering role across our full stack, from edge device hardware to mobile, web, and developer tooling, with a path to technical leadership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build, test, and ship features across our platform, including web apps, mobile apps, APIs, SDKs, and CLIs.
  • Participate in architecture and design reviews, and learn to design systems that are scalable, maintainable, and easy to use.
  • Evaluate engineering designs for customer impact: how will this change the experience of installing, configuring, and using the product?
  • Contribute technical feasibility input to product planning.
  • Understand real customer satisfaction using feedback, support patterns, and direct observation.
  • Support the end-to-end experience of our edge device hardware, from installation through ongoing operation.
  • Document design decisions and tradeoffs.
  • Grow through code review, pairing, and mentorship.

Requirements & Tech Stack

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Solid programming fundamentals in at least one modern language, demonstrated through coursework, internships, or projects.
  • Curiosity about users and a desire to fix rough edges in software.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, and comfort asking questions and giving feedback.
  • A willingness to learn across a broad technical surface.

Nice to have:

  • Exposure to web or mobile development, REST APIs, SDKs, or command-line tools.
  • Interest in hardware, embedded systems, or IoT.
  • Experience with UX research, usability testing, or customer-facing work.
  • Open-source contributions, hackathons, or personal projects.

What you’ll gain

  • One-on-one mentorship from a Principal Engineer.
  • Broad exposure across hardware, mobile, web, and developer tooling, with a structured ramp through each area.
  • Early experience making engineering tradeoffs with the customer in mind.
  • A clear growth path: Associate Software Engineer → Software Engineer → Senior Software Engineer → Staff and beyond.
