Full-Stack Software Developer
As a Full-Stack developer, you'll work on all parts of our web and mobile apps. You will find yourself optimizing database queries, building a better task manager, and creating website pages. You'll write testable and efficient code using modern web frameworks and participate fully in the design process. If you aren't already familiar with Cordova, you'll pick it up and help us transfer the insights from our website to our mobile app.

Nerdy t-shirts are an asset.
Embedded Software Developer
As an embedded software developer, you will be creating low-level software for IoT devices. You’ll program mesh networks, read data from sensors over I2C, develop error correction and filtering algorithms, and come up with efficient ways to push our data into the cloud. Eventually, you’ll also do some of the low-level work on the other side, building up RESTful endpoints for the sensors to talk with.
There’s never a dull day at Alert Labs and with a whole stable of upcoming product releases, that’s never been more true than right now. Over the next year, we plan to finalize sump, brine, power, furnace, and flood monitors and you’ll be a key part of the process.
Required Skills
All of:- A solid understanding of C++
- Experience programming in an embedded environment
- Self-starter with ability to take on independent projects
- Experience collaborating with electrical engineers (or being the electrical engineer!) on projects
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Experience with network communication (TCP/UDP/HTTP)
- Understanding of embedded protocols (I2C/SPI)
- Working knowledge of RESTful APIs
- Experience with sensors of various types (accelerometers, temperature, ultrasonic, infrared)
