Most of us are software engineers and spend the majority of our time on heads down engineering activities like coding.

Our ideal candidate is a current or former embedded Software Engineer, full stack Software Engineer, or Data Engineer that has been previously trained as a Program Manager or is willing to be trained in formal Program Management processes.\n\nAs a small company, Analytics Fire is able to tailor roles around the strengths of our individual team members. We will tailor this role to your specific technical background. However, it is a hard requirement that you are able to support the following 3 types of responsibilities:\n\n\n* (a) Represent Analytics Fire software engineering teams in client-facing interactions (and sometimes interactions with potential clients)\n\n* (b) Technical writing responsibilities such as documenting requirements, project plans, system architecture, etc.\n\n* (c) Making meaningful contributions to the execution of complex software projects.\n\n\n\n\nFor reference, here is a list of some technologies we are currently actively using on a day-to-day basis:\n\n\n* Front-end: JavaScript / React / Angular\n\n* Back-end: Ruby / Python / Node.js\n\n* Embedded: Embedded Linux, Yocto, C, MQTT\n\n* CV: OpenCV, PCL, object identification and tracking\n\n* ML: TensorFlow, OpenCV, adaptive parametric modeling, ADTs, N-Dimensional Transforms\n\n* Modern software techniques: RESTful APIs, SOA, PaaS, etc\n\n* Agile collaboration and DevOps tools: Github, Trello, Slack, Chef, Ansible, Docker, Vagrant, etc\n\n* Other technologies we are currently building with: AWS, GCP, Salesforce platform, ARKit\n\n\n\n\nYour primary responsibility will be to assist in guiding new projects through sales, planning, development, and deployment. This will be accomplished through a combination of client interactions, technical writing, and participation in formal sales, program management, and engineering related processes. Your contributions will naturally be slightly front-loaded towards the sales and planning phases, however you will remain deeply connected to each project through the entire lifecycle in order to ensure conceptual integrity is maintained from design to final implementation.\n\nThis is a remote position but is only open to candidates living in the US or Canada.
