At 6SensorLabs we’re developing life-changing products, enabling people with food allergies to trust their food. We offer you a unique opportunity to join an early stage, venture-backed startup with huge social impact potential. Our founding team members met at MIT and bonded over a passion to help people live healthier and happier lives, and moved to San Francisco to make that happen.
We're seeking self-motivated individuals who are passionate about the mission of our company, and thrive with the demands of an early stage startup. Translation: you dream big, you work hard, and you have a really great attitude.
We have a vision to build the number 1 go-to destination for anyone who cares about the safety and quality of their food. Imagine a Yelp for allergen-free, or gluten free, or organic, etc., and then imagine something 10x better than that. That's what we're building. That's why we need you.
You would own back end engineering as our first hire in this space, allowing you to make key determinations around platform, technologies, data, and scalability. You’d work closely with our front end iOS developer to develop a philosophy about how we think about data. You know it’s essential to provide reliable service to people who will share test results, view reviews, and interact with one another. You love working with business and analytical teams to think about how data can be used to improve experiences for end users.
Required Skills:
- You are comfortable operating as the sole back end engineer and scaling up systems from scratch
- There’s a sea of potential technologies that can be deployed - you have strong and up-to-date experience that will enable you to make solid recommendations around infrastructure
- You have a proven track record of shipping code into production as part of a small team
- You have a strong body of prior back end work building scalable, highly available services and care deeply about high quality execution of the tasks to make this happen
- You are ready to collaborate with front end engineers when it comes to architecture
- You love clean, usable, normalized data and will help ensure that the database schema reflects this
- You can build APIs for partners to access our data
- You understand security risks that we’ll need to mitigate
- You write clean, reusable, maintainable, performant code and don’t think this is a tall order, but something that you do every day
- In the absence of a formal QA team, you will conduct comprehensive unit and integration tests or practice test-driven development
- You have a strong understanding of REST principles and best practices
- BS in Computer Science and 4+ years of relevant work experience
Nice to Have:
- Experience with setting up a continuous integration/deployment pipeline
- Experience with devops tools like Chef, Puppet or Ansible
- Experience with setting up and using database schema migration tools
- Some experience with OAuth
Your Role:
- Work closely with our product, engineering, and marketing folks to understand key business needs
- Ensure reliability for the product
- Ponder and plan for downstream analytical implications for data
