Do you love tinkering with devices? Have you automated your own home? Do you love to mentor and collaborate with other engineers?

If the above holds true for you, then we would love to talk to you! Building36 is looking for a versatile Staff Software Engineer to lead our team. We’re doing work in smart home technology, video analytics, large scale data processing, and much more. You’ll have the opportunity to work across a variety of technology domains and own projects from design to deployment.

We have a growing engineering department, and we’re looking for people that are excited to mentor and collaborate with more junior engineers. You will own projects and potentially teams, and you must be able to communicate effectively and blend multiple business needs in your work.

Very few small companies innovate and develop across such a broad range of technologies as Building36. This position is ideal for the candidate who seeks a friendly company culture where one can work closely with smart and highly productive people. Getting to work with cutting edge software and hardware to develop outstanding consumer products is the icing on the cake.

  • Gain well rounded experience: Building36 offers a diverse and dynamic environment where you will get the chance to work directly with executives and develop expertise across multiple areas of the business.
  • Be Empowered: We don’t want to micro-manage you. We barely want to tell you what to do. We want you to own stuff and bring your experience to make those products best in class.
  • Work with the latest technologies: You’ll gain exposure to a broad spectrum of IoT and SaaS technology. Our tech stack includes C#, .NET, SQL Server, Kafka, Ember.js, as well as native iOS and Android applications.
  • Focus on fun: Building36 places high value on our team culture. We even have a committee dedicated to hosting a stand-out holiday party, happy hours, and other fun corporate events.
  • Building36 values working together and collaborating in person. Our employees work from the office 4 days a week.

WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR Building36?

  • Be a mentor to our growing engineering department.
  • Develop full stack software for a wide variety of platforms and technologies.
  • Engage in the research, evaluation, and application of new technologies and methodologies to solve challenging problems.
  • Take part in the entire project life cycle, from requirements development to deployment.
  • Work hard and be flexible: we have quick development cycles, evolving requirements, and lots of cross-team collaboration.
  • Exercise good judgment. Know when to work quickly, and when to build a robust solution. Your work will be used by multiple business units, so you will need to consider many use cases when developing.
  • Bring your ideas! We want our engineers to collaborate on product development.
  • Other duties as assigned

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

  • Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, a related field or equivalent work experience
  • 10+ years of professional software development experience
  • Experience leading and/or mentoring other engineers

  • Knowledge of networking concepts, principles, and technologies
  • Experience working with hardware and device development a major plus
