About Mason

Mason provides the only fully managed infrastructure for developing and delivering dedicated devices. Whether building a single-use device from scratch or scaling a line of smart products, Mason is the fastest way to take smart devices from idea to end user without reinventing the wheel.

DEI AT MASON A diverse workforce with a broad range of perspectives fosters an environment of trust, collaboration, and innovation. And those effects reach all the way to our customers.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY Psychological safety is feeling comfortable enough to take risks and feel vulnerable in front of your team members and peers. When we strive to foster an environment of safety, belonging, equity and diversity it nurtures our innovation and brings us closer to our vision. We are constantly working toward being a better workplace that positively impacts the communities our team members and partners call home.

EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES To keep our values aligned with our behavior and organizational structure we aim to eliminate barriers, then strategically create and reinforce positive practices to produce equitable opportunities and empower every Mason, especially those from underrepresented communities. We cannot possibly build smart and sustainable products without diverse and inclusive teams.

BE SEEN, VALIDATED, AND WELCOMED Belonging, psychological safety, and inclusivity unlock a Mason’s full potential. We don’t want Masons to quietly assimilate into a dominant culture and sacrifice a piece of themselves. We want our team members to be seen, validated, and welcomed. Although we still have a long way to go, when we engage with our team members and listen to their unique stories, we benefit.

About the role
Skills: Go, JavaScript, Kubernetes, Node.js, Python, React

Mason is transforming mobile deployments the same way AWS transformed website development, making it easy for anyone to turn an idea into a smart product and ship it to anywhere in the world. Our mission is to create a beautifully efficient world connected by billions of devices to work on behalf of humanity.

We're looking for the right person to join our close-knit team and help take our foundational product and business to the next level. Mason's core product is mobile infrastructure as a service ("mobile IaaS") -- think elastic, customizable hardware + software + services.

This role is for a full stack (generalist) engineer on our core services (“Fleet”) team to help evolve the critical infrastructure powering the Mason Platform. This team owns the cloud stack for our Mobile IaaS platform including the machinery for over-the-air updates of device firmware, the gateway powering our mobile CI/CD APIs, connectivity services, messaging infrastructure, and much more. As a generalist engineer, you are comfortable and enthusiastic about diving into code at any layer of the stack to get the job done. This may involve backend services in Golang or Node.js, CLI work in Python, and/or front end work in JavaScript/React, among other things.

Mason is looking for a complex combination of grit, smarts, ingenuity and diverse perspectives (and more!) Check out our values and see if they resonate!
