Engineering at Canix
- We are a growing team of 10+ engineers working up and down the stack, and collaborate with our cross-functional team including product management and design.
- We utilize a collaborative development cycle where engineers are involved in early brainstorming conversations with product and design, drive technical breakdown from completed product specs, estimate the tasks involved in completing the project, collaboratively set timelines from those estimates, own and drive implementing the features in the agreed timeline, deliver work that passes the agreed acceptance criteria, release and monitor the project work, and learn from the observed results to incorporate in the next iteration of the project.
- Our development process follows typical agile practices with small adjustments to Canix's particular needs.
- We use an async standup bot to communicate status and a Zoom standup 3 times / week to connect with our teammates and discuss any blockers.
- We follow a standard 2 week sprint cycle, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, mid-sprint check-in, demos, and retros.
- Delivering beautiful and impactful UIs to help our customers accomplish their work as effectively as possible.
- Building modular, reusable back-end functionality and data models to power our core features.
- Working with gnarly 3rd-party APIs transfer data to and from our backend with a high degree of accuracy and maintainability.
- Writing efficient React Native mobile applications that can work both online and offline to process hundreds of thousands of plant changes in sporadic network conditions.
- Integrating with hardware (e.g. wireless scale integrations for weighing product during and after harvest/processing or RFID scanners for plant tracking).
- Managing payments for an often overlooked population of underbanked customers: the entire cannabis supply chain.
Developing full-stack features and workflows in React, GraphQL, and Ruby on Rails to specifically support cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution of cannabis.
Delivering mobile app features to integrate with RFID scanners and other hardware in support of hands-on facility workflows.
Integrating with industry standard, 3rd party compliance APIs to synchronize data and manage workflows between Canix and government compliance software.
