Backend Developer

Kisi Remote Full-time
Salary Competitive

Access every thing. Kisi builds mobile access systems that let businesses access, share and monitor their physical spaces. We envision a world in which access is fully digitized, easy to manage, and not constrained by keys, cards, fobs or transponders. We offer state of the art apps that make sharing as convenient as entering an email address.

We're looking for someone who's genuinely interested in becoming part of our mission to disrupt a century old industry!

Your tasks as a backend developer of Kisi will be a lot of things, but never dull. In helping us build a highly robust and scalable public API (used by hundreds of thousands of users from all over the world!), you will:

  • Implement new features and help define and tackle projects big and small

  • Collaborate with our web, mobile and hardware teams 

  • Design and maintain internal frameworks and standards

  • Work on improving security and performance of endpoints and background jobs 

  • Work on internal tooling for logging, error reporting, releasing, testing etc.

 

We move fast, plan frequently, release to production daily and keep our meetings short. Our API is currently a Rails monolith running on Heroku & GCP, and we're documenting it with OpenAPI 3. Familiarity with this stack is a big plus!

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience in Ruby/Rails (or a similar language/framework)

  • You've mastered the latest technologies and you're experienced with modern tools and workflows 

  • You are well versed in writing good code: clean, modular, tested, scalable

  • You love cutting edge tech and you're passionate about working on a product that is solving real world problems 

  • High level of communication and teamwork skills

     

Why Kisi?

  • We love our product, and want you to share our passion for taking access control, a $65Bn industry, to the 21st century (we promise after using Kisi everyday to get into the office, you’ll start to hate your gym keycard ;))

  • Become a part of a growing, tight-knit, and international team in an exciting B2B environment

  • We’re fun to work with, kinda geeky, and located in Brooklyn, Stockholm, and some more places around the world

  • We offer multiple options to get you the right health coverage & we also provide healthy snacks in our offices

  • Join us for our annual Kisi Kamp with the whole team, as well as weekly team lunches, and monthly team events

Kisi makes keys easy. We build mobile access systems that let businesses enter, share and monitor their physical spaces. We envision a world in which access is fully digitized, easy to manage, and not constrained by mechanical objects – keys are so 1989! We are a seed-funded and have offices on both sides of the phone. Our headquarter is in Brooklyn, NY (USA) and our product team is based out of Stockholm, Sweden – Europe’s premiere startup hub. We are a multinational, driven team working from NYC and Stockholm. We do primarily tech in our Stockholm-office and sales/marketing/admin in the NYC-office. It is a hard industry to become a player in, and selling hardware is always difficult. We really like to get our hands dirty, after all, we are software people working with hardware.   Although we all work in different offices and with different projects, we share what we are currently working on to ensure that everyone knows what they’re doing, why they’re doing it and what deadlines need to be met. We tend to work at the office all day, to make sure we get stuff done. Other than a little bit of structure, we keep an informal tone within the team, and we value open communication. At Kisi, we are long-term focused: we’re building long-term relationships with our customers. Plus, we want people to think no longer of keys. That obviously requires time.
