Business outlook
Pros
Opportunity to own and architect core IoT and backend platform systems with real impact. Collaborative environment with talented engineers solving complex distributed systems challenges. Exposure to cutting-edge technologies (FastAPI, Kafka, AWS, Redis, IoT integrations). Startup agility with room to innovate and influence product direction. Strong mission of building smart home products used at scale.
Cons
Rapid changes in company direction can create uncertainty for long-term projects. Limited resources compared to big tech, so engineers often wear many hats. Communication between leadership and engineering can sometimes lack clarity. Career progression and job levels are not always clearly defined.
