Mason is the only fully managed infrastructure for developing and delivering dedicated devices.

We're looking for the right person to join our close-knit team and help take our foundational product and business to the next level. Mason's core product is mobile infrastructure as a service ("mobile IaaS") -- think elastic, customizable hardware + software + services. 


This role is for a backend-focused engineer on our core services team to help evolve the critical infrastructure powering the Mason Platform. This team owns the cloud stack for our Mobile IaaS platform including the machinery for over-the-air updates of device firmware, the gateway powering our mobile CI/CD APIs, connectivity services, messaging infrastructure, and much more. As a backend engineer, you are comfortable and enthusiastic about diving into backend code, infrastructure, CI/CD systems, scale, performance, and all cloudy things.

  • Architect new web services to spec, build or enhance data models, work with distributed storage, expand our eventing and messaging, and ensure the system can handle scale and reliability
  • Design and implement data storage architecture and searchability for large scale event ingestion and querying
  • Build APIs to enhance both the internal and external functionality available via the Mason Platform
  • Help establish and evangelize best practices for backend development, architecture, patterns and practices
  • Introduce or build tools, patterns and practices to accelerate backend development
  • Interact with product managers to develop and clarify requirements, and ensure features are built to spec
  • Write design one-pagers, drive and participate in design reviews, perform peer code reviews
  • Mentor junior developers and lead by example
  • Build and maintain test automation where appropriate 
  • Write public-facing documentation for new features and APIs for customers
  • Nurture a culture of always be shipping 

What you bring to the table:

  • 3-5 years of professional software development
  • Solid understanding of at least one backend-oriented programming language, and possibly a related web services stack
  • Prior experience going through the full-service development lifecycle and shipping web services at reasonable scale
