We want to help tens of millions of students worldwide change their lives through data science education, and you’ll play a key role in helping us get there. We’re looking for collaborative and passionate team members, to help us continue to build out our 30+ person remote, global team.
This is a fully remote company and we are open to applications worldwide. You don't have to match all of the listed requirements to apply, we're truly looking for people who can grow along with our diverse and global team.

Nice to Haves
  • Built a design culture from scratch in a previous startup
  • You have acted as a Design Lead in previous roles
  • Experience working in a remote, async team
  • You’re familiar with no-code and low-code tools for prototyping

NOW HIRING: Senior Embedded Engineer


Company: Density Inc.
Website: https://www.density.io
Headquarters: San Francisco, California, United States


At Density, we build one of the most advanced people sensing systems in the world. The product and infrastructure is nuanced and one-of-a-kind. Building this product for scale has been an exercise in patience, creativity, remarkable engineering, laser physics, global logistics, and grit. The team is thoughtful, driven, and world-class.


Why this is an important role

Last week our DPUs detected a million humans walking through doors. A number that increases every week.

As engineers, we think it's pretty cool to be capturing events at this volume. Especially when it's done anonymously, accurately, and in real-time. Although counting people is a DPU's top priority, it needs to do so much more.


Our system must efficiently and reliably:
  • Receive and process improvements through command and control functionality
  • Seamlessly interact with our network of partner products (building automation and security integrations)
  • Push diagnostic data to allow remote monitoring and troubleshooting.

Our DPU has a growing set of responsibilities. We need an experienced hand to help us imagine, build, and maintain these mission critical systems and functionalities. Are you up for the job?
This role reports to our Director of Software Engineering.


Requirements:
  • Deep understanding of modern C++
  • Exceptional comfort with networking, specifically in enterprise environments (this is big for us)
  • Strong experience with the Linux system level APIs, placing an emphasis on designing AsyncIO/event loop based embedded user space daemons.
  • Experience integrating with custom hardware via standard Linux interfaces.
  • Strong understanding of TLS based communication (ideally using OpenSSL).
  • Experience interfacing with large scale cloud based backends.
  • Experience with an embedded Linux build system (Yocto, Buildroot, Linux from Scratch)

Bonus Points for:
  • Computer Vision
  • Machine learning and machine learning hardware
  • Experience with building automation. Specifically Bacnet protocol.
  • Python 3 AsyncIO
  • AWS lambda
  • Nomad/Terraform
  • ZMQ
  • Kafka
  • BLE
  • 802.11
  • CDP or LLDP

While we have offices in Syracuse (NY), San Francisco, and NYC, we embrace and have built a culture around remote work.
