Proxy (YC S16) Is Hiring a Principal Firmware Engineer
Proxy (proxy.co) is about pushing the boundaries of smartphones and BLE to give every person on the planet their own unique signal for all things IoT to tap into and do useful things for them (think personalization and automation) - starting with replacing RFID cards to get you into your office, but branching out into other verticals over time. We've recently raised over $2.6M with Y Combinator and others.
We are looking for an experienced Firmware Engineer to come join our mission and lead our firmware efforts across many verticals: e.g. smart office, smart home, autonomous cars, hotels and more.
We're a small team of 5 engineers based in SF and growing fast.
