Software Engineer II / III

Job description

This is a position on our software team with a focus of working on our Mobile Application. We use React Native to serve both iOS and Android out of the same codebase. Come work on a fun smart home product with unique challenges and rewards!

This is a remote position, with preference to Seattle Area based candidates. Periodic office visits may be necessary for collaboration with the Firmware and Hardware teams. Team members typically collaborate in the office on Mondays. All of our meetings are remote capable, and you won't be required to come in every monday. If you’re outside of Seattle, we will likely bring you in a few times per year (quarterly).

We work closely with other Deako teams. Developers at Deako are always looking for a better way and understand that no code is perfect.
