Mission
Help us save 100 billion liters of water (and write some pretty nice code while doing it)
What we do
Shayp uses smart IoT sensors and machine learning to detect water leaks in buildings before they become disasters. We're talking about the real environmental impact here, not another app for ordering avocado toast.
Tasks
What you'll actually do
Build the backbone and frontend (\~80% backend, some full-stack adventures)
Design and ship features that can ensure we can have a stable system and that we sleep better at night
Own deployments because "it worked on my machine" isn't a strategy
Keep our cloud infrastructure fast, reliable, and cost-effective
Be the guardian of code quality (constructive gatekeeping is an art form but we swear by it)
Solve real problems
Turn "the sensor network is acting weird" into "here's what happened and here's the fix"
Make architectural decisions that scale with us
Help shape our tech stack because we value pragmatic sustainable solutions over resume-driven development
Requirements You're probably a good fit if you:
Write backend code that doesn't make future-you cry
Have strong opinions about API design (and can defend them over coffee)
Actually enjoy diving into cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP)
Know when to ship fast and when to refactor
Believe documentation is a love letter to your colleagues and your future team
Have shipped features with React/Vue or similar (you'll touch frontend sometimes)
Tech you'll work with
React js ; Python Django ; Docker ; CI/CD pipelines ; REST APIs ; OAuth2 ; PostgreSQL ; Git workflows that don't cause existential dread ; Whatever else makes sense for the problem
Our values (not just wall decorations)
Excellence: We ship quality, not excuses
Empowerment: Own your domain, make decisions, learn from mistakes
Achievement: Measurable impact \> busy work
Impact: Every release saves water and makes water management more efficient (no pressure though)
Benefits What you get
Autonomy to work how you work best
A team that actually reads your release notes and loves to have fun while working
Tools and resources that don't make you want to use your personal laptop
People who care about why we're building, not just what
The vibe
Small team. Real problems. No bullshit. We pair-program, we debate (respectfully), we ship, we iterate. If you want to leave your mark on this planet in the water crisis while working with people who care about both the mission and the craft, let's talk.
Please include something you've built that you're proud of (even if it's a side project).
Shayp is committed to building a diverse team.
We encourage applications from all backgrounds.
