Canary (https://canary.is) | New York, NY | Platform Engineer | Full-time | ONSITE We're the innovative home security company that grew out of a [crowdfunding campaign][0] and brought to market our easy-to-use and user-friendly video monitoring solution. Canary combines the latest advances in computer vision, learning, and data science to help our users live more secure lives. I lead the platform engineering team at Canary, and am looking to grow this team in pursuit of making our home security devices faster and smarter. Canary's first security camera is unique in that it comes with multiple onboard sensors - temperature, air quality, and humidity - that produce a continuous second data stream in addition to the visuals captured by each device. Our second product is a [battery-powered outdoor security camera](https://canary.is/flex/) that is without doubt the coolest piece of technology I've ever worked on. My team is responsible for the command channel which allows us to keep in touch with sleeping, battery-powered devices that exist mostly in a low-power state. This presents many unique challenges in areas ranging from cryptography to asynchronous networking. We're all passionate about doing right by our users, and this passion shows in our designs, code, and planning. Please have a look at the [job posting][1] if you're interested in learning more about the team and what we do. I'm also happy to answer any questions - e-mail is in my profile.
