Mason is transforming mobile deployments the same way AWS transformed website development, making it easy for anyone to turn an idea into a smart product and ship it to anywhere in the world. Our mission is to create a beautifully efficient world connected by billions of devices to work on behalf of humanity.
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 full stack (generalist) engineer on our core services (“Fleet”) 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 generalist engineer, you are comfortable and enthusiastic about diving into code at any layer of the stack to get the job done. This may involve backend services in Golang or Node.js, CLI work in Python, and/or front end work in JavaScript/React, among other things.
Mason is looking for a complex combination of grit, smarts, ingenuity and diverse perspectives (and more!) [Check out our values](https://bymason.com/about/) and see if they resonate!
