Canopy Analytics is hiring a founding engineer to be our first senior hire. We're a team of 8 with 6 people on our product team (3 engineers, 1 designer, 2 QA/product).
We're a web based cloud platform. We build analytics, workflows and alerts on our customer’s data. Our application makes operating apartment complexes more profitable without increasing the rent for renters. Apartment owners and property managers use our product everyday and it drives meaningful ROI for their business.
More housing in dense urban areas is critical to stopping climate change and improving economic mobility. People shouldn't have to drive or pay high rent for economic opportunity. Apartment management is a $3T industry which still runs on Excel. This creates a huge amount of waste and drives up costs. We're making it more financially viable to build and operate housing. Our vision is to be the software layer that operates and finances the next generation of cities.
Our stack is Ruby on Rails with server-rendered HTML. Our data is stored in Postgres and Redis. We make extensive use of window functions, rollup tables and caching to keep our application fast. We use RSpec and fixtures for testing (and our coverage is pretty good). The application is hosted on Heroku and we deploy multiple times a day.
We update our data nightly through long running ETL processes, translating customer data into a common format that's easy to query and visualize. Managing a common format requires deep understanding of our integrations. To manage the complexity, we focus on a strong writing/documentation culture, high test coverage, and keeping low technical debt.
You'll work on delivering new features, improving application performance, and system architecture. In addition, you'll contribute to the product roadmap, engineering processes and culture. You’ll have the opportunity to become a leader at Canopy.
