- Build features for engineers to explore and act on millions of sensor data points
- Work closely with senior engineers in code reviews, design discussions, and product planning
- Learn best practices in distributed systems, DevOps, and frontend/backend development
- Help shape engineering culture, standards, and processes at an early-stage startup
The Skillset You'll Bring- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics, or another STEM discipline
- Strong coursework or project experience in data structures, algorithms, or data analysis
- Eagerness to learn large-scale distributed systems and real-time data platforms
- Collaborative mindset and strong communication skills
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
Bonus Points- Experience with streaming or data tools (Kafka, Flink, Spark, Beam)
