Dahlia Lights | Mobile Engineer | Bay Area, CA | Full Time | Onsite | http://www.dahlialights.com

Dahlia Lights is building the first computer vision enabled lighting companion. Our sensing module is installed in a corner and works with smart lights like Philips Hue to map a room and its lighting. With this information we automatically generate a range of lighting scenes for your favorite activities. It’s like having your very own lighting designer! We can also detect presence so your lights will turn on when you enter a room, and only turn off once you leave. You can also set up your lights to change depending on what’s going on in a room. For example, you can set your lights to fade into a reading mode when you sit in your favorite reading chair at night.

Job Description As a Mobile Engineer at Dahlia Lights, you will be a core member of the engineering team defining and building a new kind of lighting product that will bring great joy to people’s lives. Since you will be an early member of the team, you will need to learn quickly while contributing to the product and company in many ways. You will have a lot of freedom and say in defining the technologies and features we develop.

Your focus will be on developing our mobile app using React Native. This includes developing the UI, the front-end architecture, and working with smart product APIs. Ideally, you will also be able to help out with other engineering problems such as maintaining back-end services and databases. Our mobile app is the main way our users interact with our product, making it an incredibly important component to the product experience. A focus on user experience with an attention to detail is incredibly important.

-- about us --

Lighting is a simple but powerful thing. It defines the look of a room and, if done properly, can amplify your home experiences. Unfortunately, not many people have the resources to get great lighting. The current options are either too expensive or complicated. At Dahlia Lights, we are working to bring great lighting to every home.

We are a small team of engineers working hard to get our first product out the door. We are exploring a number of different fun and useful ways to interact with light in the home. We focus on the intersection of sensing technologies and machine learning, and how the two working together can yield incredible results. If you’re interested in figuring out new ways to improve people’s lives, and want to be a core member of the team, come join us!
