I’m an engineering manager leading a small yet exceptionally talented team in the SF Bay Area. We recently got notified that our most recent project funding dried up and the office is being closed. I’ve been at it for over a decade, and what hurts me the most is seeing teams like this disbanded that are so rare and hard to find. In the past we have had success building production b2c and b2b services. I’d like to see our team continue and be hired on to a new exciting project to achieve that success again. If you’re looking to hire an engineering team, and you’d like to get to work asap and skip the recruiter fees, you may strike gold speaking with me.
We are all self motivated professionals who really enjoy what we do and have years of experience building scalable backends and front end user interfaces on the Web, iOS and Android. Our past projects have been very challenging, often involving complex hardware pairing with software; I’m confident we can take on just about anything.
We take pride in clean, documented and commented repositories. PR reviews, linting and proper git foo are part of our culture, as well as consistent agile development processes.
Some details of our expertise:
Backend: We are heavy AWS users, deploying serverless stacks via cloud formation. In our last project, we were using DynamoDB, Lambda, Elastic Search, AppSync, SQS, S3, IoT, Cognito, Route 53, EC2 and a number of other services. Our serverless stack is built on a monorepo, written in both Typescript and Python, that is deployed to multiple stages to facilitate development all the way to production. This stack includes a GraphQL interface for all clients to communicate via AppSync. We have integration tests and unit tests as well as a built in CLI to handle smoke tests and common operations. We recently participated in AWS REINVENT 2019.
Web front end: Our most recent project is built using Typescript, React, Nextjs, Apollo, Formiq, and deployed to the serverless hosting solution Vercel (formerly Now). There are multiple apps split in a monorepo, setup with stage deployment via CI, nearly 100% component test coverage, and developed using vscode and its awesome debugger.
Android & iOS: Apps built 100% in Swift and Kotlin, using AppSync to communicate with GraphQL and handling on device state management for offline queries and mutations. We have experience pairing mobile apps with hardware via wifi and bluetooth which represents many challenges we are familiar with.
UI/UX: We have expertise in developing both Web and Mobile UI/UX, user driven workflows and using tools such as Sketch, Zeplin and Abstract. Our team has the design/product process dialed.
