CampusOptics | Software Engineer | Austin | Full-time
CampusOptics (<a href=") is building the first comprehensive fire safety software platform specifically for higher education. Schools have a high regulatory bar to meet for fire safety compliance, and the consequence of failure can be dire.
Since our previous post (<a href="), we've built a Rails app and an iOS app and are working with a handful of initial development partner schools to iterate and get feedback. Our 8-person team has deep higher ed experience, and the need for our product has outstripped our expectations. Now we're looking for an additional engineer to help us keep building it out.
Out of the gates, we've relied heavily on Swift, Rails, PostgreSQL, Turbolinks, StimulusJS, Terraform, and AWS. These are technologies that have enabled us to develop large amounts of value as quickly as possible, while maintaining a high bar for quality.
The two of us in engineering today are generalists with a commitment to quality and understanding, and we'd love if you were as well. That means you don’t already need to be an expert at all of technologies we're using, but a firm command of some and a desire to learn is necessary.
In the near-term future, this will be a heavily product-focused role. You'll primarily be working on the web and potentially working on features like representing complex policies and fire standards in code, working with geospatial data to assist inspectors in the field, and creating visualizations of the state of fire safety on campus. And we aim to do all of these things with code that is well-factored, well-tested, and able to scale with our customer base over time.
I'm biased, but I think it's a great chance to be apart of building something great from early on :) Email me at REDACTED_EMAIL if you'd like to learn more or talk about whether there might be a fit.
