Web Developer

ABOUT:
Nexkey is changing the way people experience access to physical spaces. We believe that the future is keyless and access should be more frictionless than it is today.
 
Today, we may use a keycard for the office, keypad for the garage, and various keys for everything else. Nexkey will be the one glue between your digital identity and physical space. For that to happen, we believe smarter access should be available for every type of business, not just the big guys.
 
That’s why Nexkey created the most affordable, effortless, and compatible access control platform in the industry.
 
Over 5,000 users joined the Nexkey Platform in the first six months since it was introduced to the world. The company continues to experience explosive growth in users and customers.  It’s a great problem to have, but it takes critical talent to build and scale a successful startup.  We’re a company backed by leading VCs, including Upfront Ventures and K9 Ventures, with a mission to revolutionize digital identity software and hardware globally, so we need game-changers that are up for that challenge.  

OVERVIEW:
Nexkey is seeking a Web Developer to add to its Software team.  As a Web Developer, you will work closely with Nexkey’s Backend and Mobile developers and report directly to the Head of Software.  Critical to this role is the ability to make sound product and architectural decisions while working autonomously.  You will have a direct impact on the products we are building, so you need to have solid skills in problem solving, self-guided research, and stellar communications. Key to being successful in this role is having previous experience building and deploying dynamic web sites using React.js and regularly managing a release schedule.  The ideal candidate has worked with innovative technologies to design groundbreaking products in the access control and/or IoT space. You should have a natural knack for understanding what users want and need, and transforming that feedback into successful user experiences.    

This position is based in downtown San Mateo, CA, but we are open to a remote opportunity for a seasoned engineer with strong experience.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Design, Build, and Deploy the Nexkey web portal
  • Help define the client/server API
  • Improve usability by utilizing analytics tooling and performing user studies
  • Implement testing strategies for Web
  • Stay current with new technologies that can help improve robustness, efficiency, maintainability, scalability, and security across our products
  • Track down and fix bugs by actively monitoring bug reports

QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Expertise with React & Redux building dynamic web sites

  • Excellent communication skills
  • BS/MS degree in Computer Science or Engineering preferred
  • Minimum 2+ yrs of relevant coding and work experience
  • Experience with Node.js and Express preferred

THE TEAM:

Nexkey is a smart, dedicated, and agile team. Most of the time you’ll see everyone with all-hands on deck working on the next big feature, or huddled in a conference room discussing opportunities to redesign processes that improve our customer loyalty and experience. We are obsessed with our products, and passionate about changing the digital identity industry.  We are a team that likes to have fun together, whether it’s in-office events or grabbing lunch or Happy Hour drinks in one of the many amazing spots around downtown San Mateo. 

We are looking for people that promote and set the example for what it means to be a team player, and communicate with everyone in a way that promotes trust and respect across the board.  You will have an opportunity to make a huge impact right away, and help create an inspiring and engaging culture for the company.  If these values coincide with what you’re seeking, then we would love to hear from you.
