The Role

Our customers have an immediate need to make their buildings work smarter, so we need your help to quickly expand our platform’s capabilities. We are a scrappy team: when we say “full stack”, we mean it. On a given day, you may work on brand new customer-facing web features, optimizing database queries, refining backend analytic calculations, or designing IoT interfaces to our device firmware.

Because our team is small, we all need to wear multiple hats. You will work directly with Product Managers, QA, DevOps, Firmware and Customer Success to break through ambiguities and put amazing products into our customers’ hands.

 

Technologies we use

  • React
  • NextJS
  • NodeJS
  • MongoDB
  • Postgres
  • RESTful APIs
  • AWS
  • TimescaleDB

 

About You

  • 4-6 years of experience building high-performing large-scale applications in a modern full stack environment.
  • The ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical peers. 
  • Successful product delivery as part of a small team. 
  • Basic knowledge of data modeling, normalization and transformation pipelines in scaled applications. 
  • Eagerness to collaborate directly with cross-functional partners and customer-facing teams.
  • Pragmatic judgment to know when to hack a solution, and when to spend a little more time architecting.
  • A sense of ownership for the future of R-Zero’s engineering process and culture, and for the success of the company as a whole.
  • Degree in computer science, computer engineering or relevant industry experience.

 

About the Role

  • Participate in all aspects of Agile software development, including design, implementation, and deployment.
  • Guide architecture decisions for end-to-end systems optimized for speed and scale.
  • Create and operate reliable RESTful/streaming APIs for our customers. 
  • Continually improve existing infrastructure to ensure we provide the security and reliability our customers demand. 
  • Work with the customer success team and directly with customers to diagnose and solve issues.
  • Improve our process and documentation so our future selves can move even more efficiently.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
