OUR MISSION
Make communities more responsive, so they are safer, healthier, and more equitable for the people who live in them.
Numina makes a hardware and software platform that uses computer vision to help urban planners and municipal governments design better (safer) streets and public places. We sense bicycle, pedestrian, and other street traffic, and convert this data into real-time intelligence — without surveillance — to enable all sorts of partners in automation, autonomy, and development in the public right-of-way. We are looking for passionate people who would like to join us as we pursue our shared vision of more responsive cities.
WHAT YOU WILL DO HERE
As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you will help design, build, and optimize our system end to end. From frontend dashboards and reporting to distributed IoT systems, you will collaborate with the rest of the engineering and product teams to extend and improve our product’s capabilities. You will report to the Engineering Manager.
You will be responsible for the parts of our system that our customers use (Dashboards, APIs, etc.), as well as the interaction with the backend systems that store and process data. You will help look at our distributed system of IoT sensors as a whole and work to make the system more reliable and accurate. You will also communicate system performance and product updates to the team and customers. As part of your role, you will:
• Work with the rest of the engineering team to review existing system architecture and establish goals and direction for scalability, stability, efficiency, and security.
• Contribute to our front-end web dashboards, backend and our ETL jobs, and mobile apps.
• Design data flows and back-end systems to support ETL pipelines and delivery needs at scale, including time-series data, sensor management data, user data, and other types of data as needed.
• Update, extend and optimize existing API as necessary to support existing and planned needs of other systems (sensors, dashboards, maps, etc.).
• Manage and tune infrastructure, making use of managed services wherever appropriate (e.g. Amazon ECS, Lambda, IoT, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Redshift, etc.).
• Participate in strategy sessions to develop the technology roadmap.
WHO YOU ARE
You have 4+ years of software development experience using multiple program languages and frameworks. Like us, you value creativity, curiosity, and intellectual honesty, and you are committed to solving problems with us together as a team. Your desire to have a huge impact motivates you to join a small, incredibly productive team and do extraordinary things. You have the following skills and competencies:
• An autonomous, empathetic engineer who’s focused on solving user needs
• Comfortable with owning projects end to end and biased towards action
• Low ego and always open to help and have technical discussions with the team
• Experience with React, Flask, GraphQL
• Experience with data visualization, D3, or other data visualization and graphing frameworks
• Experience developing ETL pipelines using Spark and SQL
• Familiarity with Python, and JS/TypeScript
• Strong commitment to good documentation practices
Additional experience that could be helpful:
• iOS and Android app development with Expo, React, or native implementations
• Understanding of networking protocols and security best practices
• Knowledge of messaging systems such as MQTT, Kafka, and IoT networks
• UX research and design thinking for developing digital products.
• Experience with IoT networks, hardware, and Linux administration.
• Experience leading a small cross-functional team of engineers
WHO WE ARE:
