Management, security, and interoperability each will be re-imagined in how Swoop's OS exposes interfaces to inputs and outputs within the stack. You will have a role developing APIs that Swoop developers leverage to build user-facing applications running on the Swoop platform. These APIs will be further leveraged and exposed to 3rd parties to develop an ecosystem of novel applications running on the Swoop OS.
What You'll Do:- Develop and build new services and features, working closely internally with our firmware team to interface with the SwoopOS, our frontend team to support our web application, and our infrastructure team to deliver a stable product to market.
- Design and build SDK's for internal and external use, working with 3rd parties as they develop applications to run on our OS.
- Author new Python packages for common functionality used across multiple services.
- Ensure our services have strong availability and service level agreements across our code base, especially as it pertains to the runtime of our Kubernetes cluster in production.
- Tune data storage configurations to optimize for scale and near real-time availability in a streaming architecture.
You Should Have:- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field, or equivalent technical experience
