**Looma Background
**
Looma is an in-store digital media platform focused on storytelling,
education, and recommendations. Their network of in-store screens helps
retailers better modernize and monetize their stores, while enabling brands to
tell their story directly at the point of decision. All content that airs on
Looma’s network is produced or edited by Relay™, their global network of
independent filmmakers, editors, and other creators who specialize in point-
of-decision content.
Looma’s software development team powers this platform with a suite of
shopper-facing and enterprise cloud applications. This software suite enables
our team to monitor the device network, distribute video-based and interactive
content, and facilitate the buying and managing of advertising inventory.
**Position Summary**
Looma is expanding its device network 3-5x annually, while rapidly growing the
breadth of shopper experiences that we offer. This role supports Looma’s
effort to scale the network through a blend of software, hardware, and data
savvy. This is a high-impact position with significant autonomy and ownership
where you'll build upon a device network that already reaches millions of
shoppers each month.
As a Senior Software Engineer at Looma, you’ll be primarily responsible for
building and shipping new products and features alongside the design team.
You’ll collaborate with a tight-knit product team to build functionality at
the device, network, and cloud-software levels. As an early team member,
you'll help establish Looma’s engineering culture, processes, and systems, and
will have direct access to key stakeholders for first-hand feedback collection
and closely understanding the impact of your work.
The ideal candidate for this role has a bent for building elegant and powerful
software apps in small teams or as a team of one, and brings a broad set of
technical interests that meet the need for hardware, software, and data-driven
solutions. We are prioritizing applicants with direct experience building in
the Android and Google Cloud environments, but are open to all candidates who
have a demonstrated ability to learn new technologies quickly.
This role will report directly to our VP of Product and is available at our
Durham, NC office (preferred) or remote U.S.
**Attributes**
* Technical Depth: You bring a robust and complete technical background to the team and can be trusted to review, select, and implement technical solutions without close oversight. You bring a diverse technical skill set which will help you to build both consumer-facing and enterprise-facing applications.
* Product Ownership: You aren’t looking for a role where you’re handed specs and asked to deliver without question; you want to engage with end users, deeply understand problem spaces, and collaborate closely with a bright team to design products, features, and solutions.
* Background Overlap: You bring direct experience to the team through one or many of the following backgrounds: remote device management, real-time data systems, media management + distribution, and/or enterprise software for retail or advertising.
* Passionate & Curious: You are passionate about your work and eager to learn new technologies. You’re excited to step into a new problem space and understand challenges that Looma has faced to date and embrace new challenges with a sense of energy and excitement.
