About the Job We are building a completely new product, from the ground up with a small 3 person team.
1x Linux C++ developer for onboard and backend processing,
implementing business logic and OpenAPI endpoints. 1x Web Frontend developer. 1x working manager with 25 years of experience in creating embedded software for mining equipment. So No legacy code to mender or care for.
The new product will be serving the underground mining market. The product is composed of an embedded computer onboard the equipment that also has an operator interface. The mobile equipment communicates with a backend server and receives instructions from the equipment dispatcher and production planning. Both systems will be hosted and deployed on Linux.
The team will have freedom of technology selection and we expect the team to be highly autonomous and have high velocity. This is why we are starting with such a small team, even if the company can afford a much larger team. If you are looking for rapid growth and an opportunity to hone your skills, then this is the job for you. The team will grow with time and demonstrated stability & success.
As the only backend / business logic developer on the team, you are expected to be proficient in C++, OpenAPI implementation and Linux tool set under Ubuntu, but you can leverage our local C++ community of practice. We have many C++ developers in the company.
At the beginning, you will focus on developing the vehicle onboard business logic and endpoint that will be leveraged by the web application developed by the UI person on your team. Then slowly transition to implementing back office services and endpoints that will be leveraged by the dispatcher's web application and 3rd party web endpoints.
