If you love using multiple languages in a variety of domains, you’ll love working at SpinDance.

As part of our engineering team, you’ll get to work on projects across a wide variety of industries. You’ll work with an experienced, friendly team of software engineers, architects and program managers to build a smarter connected world.

What You’ll Do

• Use languages like Java, C#, Python, and JavaScript in combination with platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP to develop software for a variety of IoT products: consumer, transportation, health care and industrial.
• Contribute as a lead engineer on software projects, working with customers and other engineers to ensure projects are completed successfully.
• Work with internal and external project team members to architect IoT solutions that will create the best outcomes for our customers.
• Apply your understanding of software development in other domains, including Machine Learning, Embedded, Mobile, and Web. Don’t worry if you don’t already have these skills, one of our core values is to mentor and learn!
• Learn to use IoT methodologies and protocols to build next-generation connected solutions.

• Have 15+ years of experience developing software professionally, especially as part of a distributed system. Don’t worry if you don’t know IoT, we’ll teach you that part, although some background in IoT is helpful.
• Some experience in machine learning languages and frameworks, such as Python, C++, Tensorflow, Keras, PyTorch, MxNet, or Caffe, is a plus.
• A desire to gain experience and mastery across multiple domains (Machine Learning, Embedded, Mobile, and Web).
• Someone who loves the culture of a small company and enjoys working on every part of the software development life cycle: requirements gathering, architecture, development, testing, deployment and support.
• Ability to mentor team members in making wise design and development decisions, while maintaining a desire to learn from others.
• A background or desire to work in a DevOps environment.
• A desire to learn and share what you’ve learned through a variety of avenues.
