What we do

We believe location matters, and that the most important technological changes will not occur in the data center, but in the field. Technology is being deployed to solve conflicts, mitigate the climate crisis, address food and resource scarcity, and combat wildfires. While models running in the cloud are helpful, these problems must be addressed on the ground. Wildfire is not smothered by the cloud but by humans and technology at the edge.

Our mission is to make software as easy to use in edge environments as it is in a data center. We’re starting with the database.

‍

What we build

Bruinen Delta is a database for edge computing environments, where the physical and digital collide. Our database is designed to operate in the harshest conditions — in the sky and underground, in the wilderness and at sea, on the battlefield, and in the farmer’s field. 

Delta is local-first and distributed, allowing devices to continue running when connections are disrupted or other devices fail. This makes it a perfect fit for drones, off-road autonomous vehicles, robots, and sensors. 

‍

The role

You will work closely with the CEO to plan, build, and deploy key Delta features to customers. We are a small, fast-moving team. Your role will expand beyond writing code to customer calls, strategy, on-site implementation, and hiring other A+ software engineers. 

‍

Your duties will include:

• Shipping code
• Taking end-to-end ownership of new features, including understanding customer needs, prioritization, technology selection, planning, development, and deployment
• Working closely with the CEO to understand the technical feasibility and difficulty of features
• Designing and architecting the system to ensure scalability, performance, security, and maintainability
• Developing product roadmap and strategy to ensure we’re providing the highest value to customers while keeping development speed high

‍

What we value

• A can-do attitude and eagerness to solve technical problems on the fly — we’re not building another cloud-based SaaS dashboard; we take into account speed, efficiency, and real-world conditions within our code
• Experience with or curiosity about working on databases, distributed systems, and embedded systems
• Experience or desire to learn Rust

‍

What we require

• 3+ years of software development experience
• Strong proficiency in, at least, one major programming language — Rust is a plus
• Demonstrated ability or interest to mentor and manage other engineers — we are a growing team
• We prefer that you are based in San Francisco, or are willing to relocate, however, we will happily make exceptions for the right candidate and fly you out quarterly

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Commuter benefits
• Relocation assistance
• Unlimited paid time off

‍Life at Bruinen

Every day, we have the opportunity to develop solutions we believe to be among the most impactful in modern software — bringing technology far, far outside of the data center. If this excites you, you’ll love working at Bruinen because it makes us excited to start every day!

We have an in-person team in San Francisco. Want to move here? We’ll pay! Want to stay where you are? We’ll have you come visit us at least once a quarter so we all stay connected.

Let’s build something beautiful together.
