As a software development engineer on the team, you will own and deliver features that span the full software lifecycle, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, and operations, across both our device software and cloud services. You will work backwards from our customers to build the right solutions, and you'll partner with your team to design features that are reliable, maintainable, and built to last.

This person takes pride in operational excellence, learns quickly, and raises the bar for the people around them through code reviews and mentorship. They will flourish in an environment where new opportunities and challenges arise frequently.
