What the job involves
- We’re looking for talented Infrastructure Engineers to help us build one of the most advanced people sensing systems in the world. We’re architecting infrastructure where annual, unscheduled downtime is measured in minutes
- We’re building intelligent redundancies so missed events are an oddity. The Infrastructure team is responsible for all of the cloud resources that power Density’s business
- We’re a small group of engineers with broad experience and a passion for building reliable systems and thoughtful tools
- Our positioning within Density is unique— our customers are other members of the engineering team. The products we build help application engineers deliver value to Density’s customers quickly and effectively
- As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will help define, design, build, and manage the infrastructure that enables these products
- Own, operate, and maintain production Kubernetes clusters running thousands of containers
- Be a core contributor to our roadmap initiatives, namely our migration to Kubernetes and re-architecture of internal tooling. Since we are transitioning to Kubernetes, having knowledge of Nomad is not a requirement but a nice to have
- Look for areas of improvement across our stack, design a solution, and see it through to production
- Evangelize new designs and work with developer feedback to build a system that is robust, easy to use, and satisfies the use case
- Participate in 24/7 on call rotation for infrastructure issues. Participate in and coordinate incident response during production outages
- Find satisfaction in working remotely from your home
Our take
Density is a planning application, which holds a vast amount of data on the technical infrastructure of cities, buildings, and spaces. This makes it easier to plan workspaces and manage operating expenses, and in the process potentially saves companies billions of dollars on real estate costs.
The business uses sophisticated technology to calculate the occupancy of entire buildings and floors, and that enables businesses to adapt their operation in the most efficient and flexible way possible. This offers huge value to many companies, particularly considering the excessive costs associated with urban real estate and office space.
Density is not the only solution on the market, with Cisco Meraki, Purple, SpotOn Wifi and Local Measure also attempting to deliver office space solutions. But the algorithms included in Density have been praised, with the software particularly intuitive and user-friendly, and superior insights being delivered by its sophisticated package. To bolster this success, the company has acquired several small businesses recently, with the intention of better enabling hybrid workplaces.
