OMsignal, Montreal | http://www.omsignal.com -
Full Stack Scala/iOS/NodeJS/Machine Learning/etc Software Engineer [REMOTE or LOCAL]

OMsignal is made possible by the expertise of Smart Textile experts,
Data/Bio Scientists, Hardware, Firmware and
Software Engineers. Please note that this offer is mostly focused on
Full Stack Engineers, but we are also looking to
hire smart Data Scientists who have an interest in biodata and possibly
people who could help bridging BLE/MSP firmware and driver development.

What we do
==========

OMsignal is an exciting Montreal start-up developing a revolutionary
line of bio-sensing clothes that connect seamlessly
to smartphones. The company is at the intersection of the wearable
technology, well-being and fashion markets.

We are a well-funded startup [1] working to deliver a smart biometric
shirt. You can read more about our mission on [2].
And for those who followed the US Open 2014, we are the technology
behind Ralph Laurent Polo Tech [3].

We just shipped the product to our first customers.

What we are looking for
=======================

We are looking for Full Stack system basedSoftware Engineers who can
help us to architect, design and implement a complex
on bleeding edge technologies (Scala, Akka, Spray, Reactive Programming[4],
iOS Swift, Docker...) a modern architectural
style (Micro Services, CQRS, Event Sourcing, Eventual Consistency),
and a clean codebase (Clean Code,Domain Driven Design…) -- emphasis on
the “Engineer” over the “Full Stack” part.

In-depth knowledge of the technologies we use is not required, but
having strong Software Engineering foundations is
(Algorithmics, Design and Architectural Patterns,  …).
Understanding that code is read much more often than it is
written is an absolute must.

You should be willing to face the upcoming challenges
(Machine Learning, Predictive algorithms,
Opening the platform/iOS SDK/API, -- who knows the rest?…).

And of course, you need to speak/write english fluently
(we need to understand each other, right ?)

The Technologies we currently use
=================================

Backend (Scala, Akka, Akka Persistence, Spray, ReactiveMongo, SBT, Kafka, ZooKeeper)
Web (NodeJS, AngularJS)
iOS (Swift, Objective C, ReactiveCocoa, Core Bluetooth, CocoaPods )
DevOps (Ubuntu, Docker, Ruby, Amazon AWS/EC2)
Project management: git/github

The iOS stack is more sophisticated than the average iOS App.
It includes a Pub/Sub system similar
to Apache Kafka (that we call iOS Kafka internally),
makes heavy use of
asynchronous programming + CQRS/Event Sourcing and
computes biometric algorithms and reports.

Our culture
===========

We get some inspiration from the Open Source model to
achieve high-cohesion (within teams) and
low-coupling (between teams) : small, empowered teams,
systematic pull requests, developer autonomy.

Our software engineering practices are also influenced
by Antifragility principles [5]
(Small is Beautiful, Less is more, Hormesis principle,
evolutionary darwinism, over-compensation ...)

And if you are on the Paleo diet, like hiking/camping or
enjoy a good raclette you will certainly find friends here!

Next step
=========

If you are curious about the project and want to explore
opportunities working with us, you can
reach out to dev@omsignal.com
come hang out on IRC (irc.freenode.net #omsignal) to ask your questions

If you have a github/bitbucket account, we would love to take
a look at what you like doing
(even if you feel ashamed of it in retrospective -- explain us
what you would improve now)
