Original posting

Canary (https://canary.is) | New York, NY | Data 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 data engineering team at Canary, and am looking to grow this team in pursuit of making our home security devices faster and smarter. Canary's 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 team builds the data pipelines and underlying infrastructure that brings in and securely houses this data. As you can imagine, security is a first-class concern in everything we do. This creates many fascinating technical challenges, from crypto to network security to hardening of applications. 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.
