2. fire / police / search and rescue experience

4. android app development
5. Linux
6. networking
7. robotics
8. electrical engineering
Our ideal candidate is a junior software engineer who has been deployed and is excited to help solve some of the pain points they had in the field.
Other requirements:
- US citizen
- In-office full time
- Can work autonomously and either has start-up experience or wants to develop that mentality
Our hiring process is casual. We're hiring for fit and aligned mission. 2 - 3 hour take home tech assignment in language of your choice. Looking for somebody to start within 2 - 3 weeks.

My method has been to audit a university class, do lots of practice problems, and find a support group of people to regularly work with
If youve taken say, trig, but are rusty, dont bog down on trying to relearn upfront. If it comes up when learning something else, then relearn whats necessary. The problem with this is if you're in a scheduled class where you might get behind. The benefit is that when you go on to upper level math, its a necessary skill to relearn some things quickly
I spent the last year developing the software and hardware for a smart, autonomous irrigation system for small farms. I'd like to move into a pure software role. I'm currently re-implementing part of git with Scala / ZIO.
very much a trope now, but waitbutwhy on Elon companies back in 2015. I felt like I had to be a part of it and got me into STEM. Now I'm fully in STEM, went back to school to take a bunch of STEM fundamentals, got into CS, etc.
Thanks for pointing that out. That particular opening was filled, there's a new one open and I'll link that. I updated the original post but for reference: https://bit.ly/3xv3uOC
I set up wifi on 130 acres on a mix of solar and grid, wired Ethernet, "wireless" Ethernet, and mesh wifi. We have two shakey ISPs. I ping all network devices every ten minutes and plot the results over time. Has helped me tremendously when troubleshooting
