  • Familiarity with React and TypeScript for understanding and occasionally contributing to frontend development

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills for working effectively in a small, remote team

  • Passion for innovation and the ability to take ownership of complex projects

About You
  • You have a genuine passion for computer science and software engineering, and you enjoy working on personal projects outside of work

  • You are proactive in staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the field

  • You have a diverse range of interests and can bring a unique perspective to problem-solving and innovation

  • You understand the challenges and opportunities associated with working in a small, fast-paced startup environment

The Opportunity

At Iris, we're building a lean, highly skilled team that values autonomy and innovation. As an early member of our team, you'll have the chance to:

  • Work on a revolutionary platform that's transforming the way people interact with cameras, and we believe, all devices

  • Collaborate with a talented, passionate team of engineers, designers, and AI experts

  • Make a significant impact on our product and culture

  • Enjoy competitive compensation, flexible remote work, and the opportunity to build something truly innovative

  • Work on a wide range of projects and technologies, expanding your skill set

  • Experiment, innovate, and step outside your comfort zone

  • Collaborate with a supportive team that values continuous learning

  • Receive competitive compensation, (truly) remote work, and equity in a fast-paced startup
