  • Understanding of cloud-based architecture and hands-on experience with AWS tools and services (e.g. Lambda, CloudWatch).
  • Understanding of specifics of micro-services and serverless architecture.
  • Willingness to work in a startup lab environment in an active R&D phase.
  • Tolerance to changing requirements and priorities, and context switching between different products.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with on-site and remote teams, and explain technical concepts and issues to less tech savvy colleagues.
  • Proactiveness in giving feedback and improving existing processes.
  • Experience with testing of IoT and hardware products is a plus.
  • Experience with test automation (JavaScript or TypeScript) is a plus.


What We Offer:

This is a unique chance to join a dynamic team, work closely with the company's founders, and shape the future of bathrooms.
This role comes with a competitive compensation package made up of a competitive salary, equity ownership opportunities, and comprehensive benefits.
