Memfault is seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our product engineering team. Our tight-knit team develops a platform that stretches from the metal to the cloud and enables millions of devices to work without a hitch.
You'll be working with a team of generalists and on a very large technology stack: we're not the typical web startup. We do everything from SDKs for microcontrollers, to large-scale data processing in the backend, to complex custom charting in the frontend.
We're a small but experienced team who has worked at startups, scale-ups, and includes former principal engineers at large tech companies. Our development process encourages and provides opportunities for you to contribute to as many areas of our technology stack as you’re interested in.
You will:
- Onboard as either a Frontend (React/Typescript) or Backend (Python) developer
- Work on the hard technical challenges that interest you while delivering value for our customers and supporting our business objectives.
- Start with simple, pragmatic solutions and iterate quickly. Our engineers strive to ship meaningful work every day.
- Collaborate with product, design, and other engineers to take ambiguous problems and build solutions that work for our customers.
- Help bring modern development tools & best practices to a whole software engineering discipline in the IoT industry.
- Have a major positive impact on our product, our customers, our culture and our business.
You are:
- Caring, kind, low ego: other people do better when they work with you
- A developer with 5+ years of experience building web applications
- Well-versed with, and enthusiastic about React/Typescript Frontends or Python backends
- Passionate about building good products that deliver value to end users
- Excited to learn more about hardware and embedded software
You have:
- Proven experience in either Frontend or Backend development:
- Built complex frontends with data visualizations in React/Typescript
- Scalable backends in Python (Django, Flask, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Redis, AWS, Docker a plus)
Why you'll love being an engineer at Memfault:
- We're proud to have an exceptional engineering culture — after all, we make developer tools and have 3 technical co-founders!
- We work on interesting technical challenges: We’re set up as a team of generalists and have a very large technology stack, far more broad than the typical web startup. We do everything from SDKs for microcontrollers, to large-scale, real-time data processing in the backend, to complex custom charting in the frontend.
- We are highly collaborative and ambitious: We have a small but very experienced team who has worked at startups, scale-ups, and includes former principal architects at large tech companies. You will have the chance to work directly with those people! Our development process encourages you to contribute to as many areas of our technology stack as you’re interested in.
- We recognize growth is important for both our business and our engineers: We offer opportunities to explore different areas of our stack. Sometimes, our engineers try on different hats several times in a year! We make sure each team member is getting ample opportunity to challenge and stretch themselves, explore technologies that interest them, work across different parts of the business, and expand their skill sets.
- We offer both fully-flexible remote work and opportunities to build in-person relationships: Fully remote, fully in-office and hybrid all a-OK. We are set up as a fully remote company, but we encourage people to come into the office to build relationships. We also have company-wide offsites once a year.
Memfault is the first observability platform for hardware. We are a YC and Uncork Capital-backed developer tool built by veterans of Fitbit, Oculus, and Pebble
We started with error reporting. Imagine having to talk to your customers on the phone to get details on bugs they encounter on your website or in your mobile app? That's still the state of the art for hardware.
This is a big and growing problem. Connected devices are everywhere: there are more of them than cellphones, laptops, and tablets combined. Increasingly, they are running complex software to leverage machine learning and computer vision at the edge. The current state of tools is untenable in the face of growth in both numbers and complexity.
Come work with us to bring an entire category into the 21st century, and redefine how millions of engineers build their products.
