Senior IoT Engineer, Z-Wave (Contract to Hire)

About The Company:

Ambient combines a decade of operational experience with design and engineering prowess to improve apartment living and management in the most impactful, cost-effective way possible.

The name "Ambient" embodies our vision to create a category-defining platform that seamlessly integrates smart technology into the built environment and transforms the way people live, visit, and work in multifamily communities. Our focus is on increasing the value of multifamily properties by making them more efficient to operate and more comfortable to live in.

About The Role:

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer with IoT experience (Z-Wave, specifically) to join our team. In this role, you'll be working at the intersection of software and hardware - in particular, the Ambient hub that enables our platform to deliver a world-class user experience for smart building automation.

We look for strategic thinkers and creative problem solvers with a bias for execution. We’ll expect you to contribute code, propose product and feature ideas, and dive in on support issues as needed.

Ideally, this will be a contract-to-hire position. However, if you’re only looking for a contract role, we’d still encourage you to apply! We're flexible on the specifics, and can potentially work around your schedule depending on your experience and the number of hours you're looking for.

Responsibilities:

• Program; mostly in C++, Golang, and Python
• Help us deliver a reliable Z-Wave and Zigbee solution using a physical controller
• Provide solutions that are reliable, observable and scalable for communicating with edge devices
• Work with support organization to diagnose and resolve controller related issues (may require occasional travel for investigation of issues on site)
• Own the full lifecycle of development including design, testing, release, and deployment
• Interact directly with other engineering, product and support teams
• Automate testing of the code you contribute
• Review pull requests on a daily basis

Qualifications:

• Experience with C++ (or Rust) and Golang
• Prior experience with IoT protocols – specifically, Z-Wave
• Meaningful experience in Senior Software Engineering roles (i.e. a high level of proficiency in your area, the ability to work independently and capacity to mentor more junior team members)
• A deep understanding of computer science and software engineering fundamentals
• A preference for simple yet fully functional and extensible solutions
• Ability to quickly iterate without compromising on quality
• Ability to discover and resolve hard to diagnose issues with device connectivity and reliability

Nice to have, but not required:

• Broad knowledge of other IoT protocols (e.g., Zigbee, Thread, and Matter)
• Prior experience with other IoT solutions such as Home Assistant and Z-Wave JS
• Experience working on embedded systems
• Experience with Python
