POSITION OVERVIEW

Do you love tinkering with devices? Have you automated your own home? Do you love to mentor and collaborate with other engineers?
If the above holds true for you, then we would love to talk to you! PointCentral is looking for a versatile Staff Software Engineer to join our team. At PointCentral, we are creating a world where property managers can spend their time focusing on the people that make their communities thrive rather than routine administrative, operational, and maintenance tasks. At the same time, we are providing renters and guests access to secure, convenient, and resource-conserving smart home solutions. While we have a solid client base, with some of the world’s biggest customers using our solutions, we’re just getting started!

WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR POINTCENTRAL?

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll work collaboratively with our Product Management and Business teams to drive technical discovery, design, and implementation of large-scale applications, products, and platforms. You'll work cross-functionally to identify short-term and long-term solutions and timelines, review and approve proposed solutions, and provide pertinent documentation, direction, and examples to your team.
Very few small companies innovate and develop across such a broad range of technologies as PointCentral. This position is ideal for the candidate who seeks a small, friendly company culture where one can work closely with smart and highly productive people. Getting to work with cutting edge software and hardware to develop outstanding consumer products is the icing on the cake.
