Mason

Engineering process: We use a lightweight Kanban-style process and release frequently (OS updates, front end, and services). Independent components rev out of band as needed, and we're working towards the dream of continuous deployment.

Standards: We use standards where they make sense. We write one-pagers for significant features or changes, have them peer-reviewed, and own testing, implementation, peer code review, and deployment.

Teamwork and fun: Engineers are encouraged to learn and experiment with new technologies, and teach others. We demo our work regularly at the all-company meeting Show and tell. We hold quarterly hackathons and encourage everyone to get their hands dirty — at least a couple of our current roadmap items are straight from one such event!

Our product is mobile infrastructure-as-a-service. Consequently, from services to storage infrastructure to logistics to Android-compatible devices to firmware engineering our projects involve a variety of interesting and challenging work. A lot of our focus is around automation. Below is a selection of some of the fun challenges we work on (many are yet to be built!).

Mason OS and Core Apps: * Management and unification of multiple OS source trees and integrating our core feature set across all of them * Integration of a build pipeline in our production workflow * On device apps/services for remote control, log retrieval, push notifications, secure data storage, certificates, etc.

Developer (customer) productivity: * Command line interface to a variety of platform functionality * Automated generation of documentation of hundreds of feature points within a large, evolving source tree * Zero touch provisioning — automation of the registration and customer-specific setup of devices at scale (e.g. turn on a device and watch it automatically transform into a custom bar code scanner device)

Backend, Devops and Scaling: * Firmware and app update services to handle a projected half a million devices over the next 2-3 years * Services to handle metrics, analytics, license management, audit events, etc. * Migration to containerization of all of our backend services

Frontend: * ReactJS dashboard to list and map large numbers of devices * Searching, tagging, drag and drop deployment support of devices * Device fulfilment dynamic charting * Tracking and visualizing live devices in the field
