Senior Product Engineering A

You will join our growing Product Engineering team and work closely with designers and product managers to build new features, improve the experience, and ship API & Web updates to millions of happy customers. Our apps are the primary touch point for our product and are the key to delighting our customers, so we are dedicated to finding someone who takes a strong customer-focused engineering approach. We believe that our customers and their needs should be at the center of every technical decision, and we are relentlessly focused on delivering the best possible product. As a member of a small team, you will be directly responsible for a variety of important projects. Our API is built on Ruby on Rails. Our iOS mobile app is a hybrid of Swift and Objective‑C (SwiftUI and UIKit), while our Android mobile app is a hybrid of Kotlin and Java (Jetpack Compose and XML). We have developed a highly performant photo upload pipeline that runs in the foreground and in the background, so our users’ photos can be seamlessly processed. We also have a communication stack built on CoreBluetooth and the Wireless Accessory Configuration (WAC) protocol, to make managing our hardware device simple and intuitive for our users. Our frame runs an Android app that shares code with our mobile client app, providing a connected way for us to build new features and fix bugs. Our web app and the ability to text photos to the frames also provide key connectivity touch points for our customers.
