\nWe are hiring a PHP Staff Engineer to focus on backend application work and technical leadership while contributing to DevOps, data, and frontend work as necessary. We’re a small team, so the blend will depend on the individual and the project.\n\n\nIdeal candidates will have an incredibly strong Web SaaS background, a decade or two of Web-based professional history, and a deep comfort with PHP. You are consistently assessing whether technical choices are adding or removing system complexity. You enjoy enabling your teammates to do their best work with clear & appropriate feedback, tailored guidance, and thoughtful workload sharing. You are deeply critical of which technical choices and work will have the most meaningful impact on our goals.\n\n\nThis role offers 160K/yr and participation in our ESOP (Employee Stock Option Program) with a 4-year vesting schedule. If you start by 1 April, you’ll be eligible for the company-wide annual 1 July pay raise. If you’re interested in the role but have questions or feedback, please email the hiring manager. No one’s resume will get buried for being critical, it’s kinda the point of the job.\n\n\nWe will accept applications through Friday, 21 February and begin the email screening process as soon as possible. Initial interviews will ideally be scheduled for 24-27 February, and second interviews the week of 10 March. There are two 90-minute interviews (hiring manager + panel) and we request 3 professional references (but let's talk anyway if you have circumstances that make that impossible). We are filling this role ASAP, preferably no later than 1 April. Please note availability concerns in your application! We can be flexible and are happy to accommodate whenever we can. \n\n\nAbout uConnect \n\n\nuConnect is on a mission to help more people realize their potential by improving access to career services for all people - early in their lives and throughout their careers.

We’re not done improving how we work.\n* We’re not just “committed to diversity”, we have a diverse & inclusive team and continue to iterate on policies that support it.\n* You're aligned with our mission of improving access to career services & employment outcomes for higher education students by supporting their individual needs.\n* Your 5-year plan could involve deepening your technical skills and focusing on impact as a special project “solver”, becoming the technical lead of a second product team as it forms, or transitioning into an engineering management role. (It likely does not involve becoming an overall project “architect” as that is our principal’s primary role.)\n\n\n\nCompensation package\n* $160,000 annual salary (with annual raise 1 July).\n* 4-year vesting stock options\n* Unlimited PTO (you must use at least 3 weeks; 4-6 is normal)\n* Health insurance (Gold PPO) premium 100% covered for employee & 60% for dependents (Dental 75% for employee & 50% for dependents; Vision 75% for employee)\n* 4% 401K contribution (3% full match + 2% half match)\n* $600 annual home office stipend\n* 12 weeks parental leave (after 1 year)\n* Guaranteed remote work policy (there’s no office)\n\n\n\nHiring process\n* Screening over email (call optional)\n* 90-minute alignment interview (Zoom video)\n* 90-minute functional area interview (Zoom video)\n* Pre-offer stage: (1) 60-minute Meet & Greet with CEO (Zoom video), (2) 3 references (preferably all who worked directly with you for 6 months or more; 1 senior to you in your team or reporting chain)\n* Background check (we do not automatically disqualify applicants for non-violent criminal convictions)\n\n\n\nAbout the team\n* We are fully remote, but require employees reside in the continental US or Canada due to time zones & compliance overhead.\n* We employ 7 full-time engineers (Manager, 4 Application, 1 Data, 1 QA Automation) that lean senior (2 staff-level, 3 senior-level, 2 mid-level, 0 entry — yes, that’s the scale). There is 1 product manager (with plans to grow).\n* No engineers have left the company in 3 years. Our principal engineer has been with the company 12 years. \n* We use a Kanban workflow in Jira (“kanban-like” if we’re being pedantic) with clear acceptance criteria and Gherkin for testing criteria.\n* In 2024, half our tickets were in support of our strategic roadmap, 20% were maintenance work, and the rest were requests (support escalations and other non-roadmap work).\n* We primarily build in a WordPress-based monolith with a few ancillary AWS services.\n* We have managed hosting, so there is no on-call rotation, but as a staff engineer you will be on the short-list of emergency technical contacts. (We had zero emergencies in 2024.)\n* Two years ago, we had zero automated tests. Today, we have more than 500 (300 of which are E2E) and will aggressively increase that number this year, focusing on PHP integration tests in a specific section of the product.\n* We’re publishing our interview plan, onboarding impact plan, and performance review criteria for this role. Our small team works best by being engaged, taking ownership, and exercising critical thinking every day. This role is critical to continuing and expanding that strategy, so consider coming to your interviews with good questions.\n* West coasters beware: Standup is 10:30am ET (Mon-Thu; we don’t have standing meetings on Fridays). It is our team’s only standing meeting (besides 1:1s with your manager and monthly All Hands).\n\n\n\nWhat will your 90-day onboard look like?\n* Weeks 1: Meet people, read docs, complete training, set up your localhost, ask questions. We’re not a “commit code on day 1” shop; relax & adapt. Check in with your manager daily.\n* Weeks 2-4: Dig into team’s current problem set and how you can start contributing now, while also learning medium- and long-term goals to start aligning decisions with them. Join the team’s workflow and complete prioritized work. Check in with your manager a few times a week.\n* Months 2-3: Take work that aligns with your learning goals to quickly expand your exposure to various parts of the product and stack. Make strong contributions, but more biased toward learning than highest priority, tapering back toward priority-based work toward the end of 90-days at the pace that makes sense. Choose a longer-term 1:1 pace.\n\n\n\n\n\n$160,000 - $160,000 a year\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Design, SaaS, Wordpress, Python, Testing, JavaScript, Education, PHP, Senior, Engineer and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $50,000 — $100,000/year\n

\nThis role is one of our general tracks. Apply here for all engineering teams at Canonical who work on low-level system technology and embedded systems, across all seniority levels.\n\nWe hire careful and conscientious engineers who appreciate the challenge of memory, performance, battery and connectivity constrained code that has to work every time in an unreliable and unforgiving world, on x86, ARM or RISC-V silicon.\n\nCanonical Ubuntu is the leading Linux for software engineers, desktops, cloud and IoT. We bring open source to the world as a high-performance, safe and secure platform for enterprise computing, software engineering, and connected devices.\n\nThese smart, connected devices have the potential to transform every industry. Classic Ubuntu – desktop or server – is widely used in embedded systems because of its developer focus and enterprise grade security maintenance.

We recruit on a global basis and set a very high standard for people joining the company. We expect excellence - in order to succeed, we need to be the best at what we do. Canonical has been a remote-first company since its inception in 2004.​ Working here is a step into the future, and will challenge you to think differently, work smarter, learn new skills, and raise your game.\nCanonical is an equal opportunity employer\n\nWe are proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination.

We value well-tested, reusable designs and expect our engineers to be as good of practitioners as they are leaders and teachers.  \n\nAbout This Role \n\nVery is a remote-first company, meaning we don’t have a physical office, and you can work from anywhere in the continental United States. Whether you feel like moving or not, you don’t have to change jobs. As a Senior Hardware Integrations Engineer, you will work with our Hardware Practice Lead and other hardware engineers to deliver high-value electro-mechanical system designs to our clients.  Our goal is to rethink and retool the hardware engineering process to align it with modern software, design and data science development methods (we’re already making headway thanks to an awesome framework called Nerves). For this role we’re looking for polymath engineers who are just as comfortable working in MCAD as they are with ECAD. Some of the traits we are looking for include: \nPrevious experience designing electro-mechanical systems (3+ years)\nKnowledge of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) practices for electrical and mechanical\nFamiliarity with:\n *Microprocessors, microcontrollers, IoT communications protocols, and common sensors\n *Hardware prototyping tools (3D printers, soldering, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, etc)\n *Low-level embedded firmware and/or embedded Linux\n *Data collection techniques  \n\nWhat You’ll Be Working On \n\nVery has been a remote company since before it became normal — 2011, to be exact. We’ve built a collaborative, tight-knit team that thrives, whether we’re hanging out in person at our annual retreat or coordinating work across time zones. The results show that we’re doing something right. In 2020, we were named one of Inc’s Best Workplaces, Parity.org's Best Companies for Women to Advance List, and Fatherly’s Best Places to Work for Dads. Clients like Vizio, Clear, iHeartRadio, Complex Media, Shopkeep, and more come to us for answers to their thorniest questions. We bring them a world-class product team that delivers end-to-end IoT solutions. \n\nThe Hardware Integrations Engineer plays a key role in our multidisciplinary Agile development practice. Your responsibilities will include: \n\n * Driving our Agile practice through continuous pairing and idea generation with our team of Mechanical and Electrical engineers\n* Providing review and feedback of electrical schematics and board layouts, as well as CAD designs and 2D mechanical drawings\n * High-cadence rapid prototyping in order to build, test and break hardware early and often in the design cycle\n * Helping to develop an automated integration toolset to improve the speed at which Mechanical and Electrical changes can be reviewed and merged into the design\n * Interacting with clients and turning their vision into functional, manufacturable hardware\n * Owning the path to manufacturing on your programs by interacting with manufacturers, suppliers, and compliance testing labs on behalf of the client\n\nThe ideal candidate should have some mix of experience with the following:\n\n* Microprocessors and microcontrollers\n* Sensors\n* Soldering\n* Oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and other electronic test equipment\n* Electro-mechanical integration and assembly\n* Designing for and operating 3D printers\n* Electrical and mechanical design for manufacturing\n* Injection molding\n* IoT devices\n\nIn short, you'll spend your time ensuring that the hardware systems we ship for our clients meet the high quality level associated with the Very brand.\n\nOur Current Tooling \n\nOur IoT contracts usually involve a full service hardware and software solution. To bring the hardware from concept to reality we often use the following tools/languages: \n \n* KiCAD\n * Onshape\n * Voltera PCB Printer\n * FFF and SLA printers\n * Embedded C/C++\n * PlatformIO for embedded C/C++ projects\n * Python for scripting and build automation.\n * Github \n\nYou don't need to be an expert in all these tools, but, since you’ll be using them to prototype and test, familiarity is a plus.  Our multidisciplinary build teams are tight knit, and you will certainly encounter these stacks throughout your time here.\n\nRequired Qualifications \n\nUnfortunately, applicants who do not meet these criteria will not be considered.\n * BS or higher in a related engineering field (Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, etc)\n * 3+ years of relevant experience\n * Primary residence in the continental US (to facilitate overnight shipping to our clients and the majority of our team). \n\nHow You’ll Be Compensated \n\nDon't have your own lab equipment? Don't worry! Very is willing to help get you up and running. We’ll get you everything you need to set up a home lab and be effective in your role. This includes rapid prototyping tools, electrical test equipment, and the supplies needed to quickly build and test electro-mechanical prototypes. We believe in a transparent, fair compensation structure and have developed our own open salary formula. Depending on your skill and experience, you can expect your base compensation to be somewhere between $75,000 and $105,000 upon joining the company. We also offer performance bonuses, a generous maternity/paternity leave policy, 401K matching, and numerous other employee benefits including reimbursement for home office equipment.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Quality Assurance, Senior, Engineer, Full Stack and Python jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n
