What the job involves
- As a key engineer on our team, you’ll lead the charge in building cutting-edge web applications and APIs that power the next generation of workplace experiences
- Imagine creating software that transforms how people interact with their environments, using real-time sensor data to help users navigate offices, understand space utilization, and optimize their workday
- You’ll develop innovative solutions that blend IoT, spatial intelligence, and intuitive interfaces to redefine how people experience modern workplaces
- Success in this role means your work will not only enhance productivity but also reshape how we think about workspaces, pushing the boundaries of what technology can do for human-centered design
- Lead the development of fullstack web applications, writing clean, efficient, and scalable code in Go, React, and Python, with a focus on both frontend and API development
- Ensure code quality with comprehensive unit testing and follow best practices in testing and automation to maintain a reliable and maintainable codebase
- Manage branching, merging, and release workflows using Git, leveraging advanced Git techniques to keep development cycles smooth and efficient
- Design, build, and automate deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions to ensure seamless and reliable continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD)
- Work within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment, managing cloud infrastructure, writing deployment scripts, and utilizing AWS services to optimize performance and scalability
- Collaborate closely with business and product stakeholders to understand pain points and opportunities, and translate them into innovative software solutions that drive value for customers
- Tackle complex problems and unknowns with confidence, acting as a capable generalist who can adapt and contribute across the tech stack and jump into new challenges as they arise
- Participate in code reviews, mentoring junior developers, and contributing to the overall architecture and technical direction of the team
- Work cross-functionally within a tight-knit team, ensuring alignment with product vision and delivering features that enhance the overall user experience
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, 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. The company has acquired several small businesses recently, with the intention of better enabling hybrid workplaces.

Company values
- Be humble. We are a deeply ambitious team not a cult of personality. Humility keeps us focused on the customer. It protects against politics, hubris, and internal gamesmanship.
- Seek feedback. A culture of feedback preserves our ability to learn, encourages critique of the company, and rewards self-awareness. Teams, products, and companies are a permanent work in progress. If we're open to feedback, more likely to focus on the fundamental problem.
- Always solve the fundamental problem. Density is a vertically integrated product company. Our work is sprawling. In an environment of infinite and interesting challenges, knowing what to ignore can be an accumulating advantage. If we consistently know and solve the fundamental problems, we have a shot at exceeding our wildest ambition.
