We are looking for a full-time mid to senior level engineer with experience in Elixir to work directly with the Head of Software. You will be joining a small team to build a robust and efficient real-time IoT and mobile application platform. Elixir is our primary language for all back end development as well as potential future firmware development using the Nerves platform.
There is a lot of opportunity for growth and learning with this role. We try to utilize best practices at each step of development. In addition to developing the software, this role also works with deployments and the underlying infrastructure. Our deployments are extremely boring, it’s great. We utilize the AWS managed Kubernetes service to manage infrastructure and PostgreSQL as our primary database. Infrastructure as code, config as code and gitops help make our software delivery as painless as possible while increasing developer velocity.
About us
Our mission is to protect homes, families and communities from wildfire disasters.
Frontline enables customers to track wildfires, receive important alerts, and safely navigate a wildfire, while protecting a customer’s home with the remotely operated Frontline Wildfire Defense System. With multiple levels of redundancy, our home defense system hydrates the materials of a home and its surrounding area to prevent ignition from flying embers - the #1 cause of structure loss during wildfire.
We have a unique opportunity to sell our exterior sprinkler systems to customers in all areas affected by wildfire.
We are a small team in the early stages of growth, and yet we have already achieved significant milestones in protecting homes and earning revenue through successfully installing systems throughout Northern and Southern California. We have an experienced team of engineers, product designers, and investors and we are growing rapidly.
