Senior Web Frontend Engineer - Access Control

Overview

We are a small, dynamic team focused on building cloud-managed access control systems. Access Control is our second major product line. Our Access Control solution allows users to manage their doors, schedules, and user credentials from virtually anywhere on their laptop or phone.
We consider our team a startup within a startup, with a fair amount of ownership and autonomy. You’ll be working alongside a dynamic team of firmware, backend, and frontend engineers to develop this product line.
We are #10 on the LinkedIn Top Startups 2020 list and #4 on the Forbes America’s Best Startup Employers 2020. In October 2022, the company raised a $205 million Series D at a $3.2 billion post-money valuation and is backed by top-tier investors like Sequoia Capital, First Round, Meritech, Alkeon, Lightspeed, and Siemens (Next47).
