Saratoga Springs, NY · Computer/SoftwareSoftware Engineer
Saratoga Springs, Albany · Full TimeVANTA's client is an award-winning startup building connected wearable products for the industrial workforce. The experienced team is backed by top tier VCs and insurance companies who share our passion for better predicting and reducing workplace injuries. We’re not in this to be a “cool startup” but to have a profound and long-term impact on the lives of industrial workers that are key to our economy and our lifestyle: they manufacture our products, deliver our packages, mine our metals and build our homes. They deserve the best technology out there and you’re going to help us put it in their hands.
Description
We are building the first connected industrial workforce centered around safety. Our first product is reducing workplace injuries by giving realtime feedback to the workers and improving workplace design.
We are looking for a software engineer who can help us build systems and our software engineering team to meet the demands of our growing customer base.
THE ROLE:
The backbone of our unique wearable safety unit is the IoT device we place on every manufacturing and logistical worker's belt. This device analyzes and records, in real time, the worker's posture and movement and alerts them when they perform an unsafe movement. As an IoT engineer, you'll be a vital member of the team that builds this device and ship your software to our clients of thousands of workers across the globe. Your responsibilities will include:

- Maintain and enhance our application’s back-end, creating scalable services, frameworks, and storage solutions, using Go. You’re also not afraid to dabble on the front end when needed.
- Develop systems automation tools for managing our AWS deployment.
- Bring a testing culture to the company
