1aim | Berlin, Germany | Onsite, Full Time, Visa https://1aim.com https://1aim.com At 1aim, we develop and produce access control systems, which allow to open doors with mobile phones. We create all hardware, software and IT-Infrastructure to run our systems on our own. Beside access systems we are already putting a lot of R&D effort in creating further new smart home/building automation products. We see ourselves as an engineering-driven technology company, that influences how a future with connected devices will look. We enable engineers to focus on what they can to best, letting them work on new products in small, highly interdisciplinary teams. We try to get rid of as much management overhead as possible (no daily standup meetings!). Right now, we are hiring new engineers for the following areas: - RUST Backend Developer (our backend is 100% rust!) - (Frontend) Web Developer - Electrical Engineer We do not care about your academic degrees or where you are from, but about the stuff you did and what you could create in the future given the right opportunities. If you are interested in working at 1aim, write us an email at work.hn<?>1aim.com and tell us about the projects you worked on that you are the most proud of and which technological feats of the past inspire you. We provide visa assistance, relocation support and free housing until you find your own place to live. Interview process: 1st phone interview (screening) -> 2nd phone interview (technical) -> home assignment/technical challenge (depending on application) -> 3rd interview (mixed, via phone or onsite)

I dig that you use so much Rust, but I have an OT question: I've noticed on pictures of your locks that there doesn't seem to be a way to mechanically unlock it, say if there's an electrical failure in the lock or something. It's maybe a little paranoid but the engineer in me always looks for a "failproof" backup system when all goes wrong. How do you address this?

  We actually have a range of different products, with wired and battery-powered versions of every system. Most of them can be combined with traditional mechanical locks as a backup. The product we currently sell most is a reader unit (similar to rfid readers) that you connect to an external locking mechanism (e.g. an electric strike, motor lock, automatic door opener, etc.) and it's up to the customer to decide weather or not they still want a traditional cylinder installed into the door. For many doors, especially in offices, this is actually often not required (for example because there are several entrances to the room or its a door with a low-security mortise lock that can be opened with low effort in case of device failure). Our stand-alone solution is a retrofittable, battery-powered industrial grade motorized cylinder that actually connects to an existing mechanical cylinder, allowing you to still use your old keys. One very important thing that is never omitted though is that every door should open from inside in case of emergencies (e.g. fire) by purely mechanical means (turning a knob, pushing a door handle) and in commercial buildings also usually without keys. If you are interested in more information you can PM me and i'll send you some PDFs.

If you click "Careers" and then "Products" on your site the text for products fades out rather than in.

I spent too much time in your hiring process: I did the screening, the home assignment and the technical interview with the co-founder (Yann, which is the poster I think). But you didn't took the time (1 min) to give me an answer or to follow back after the technical interview! You said we'll get back to you in 3 days, but now it's more than 1 month. Beware before applying! Other users in HN reported the same thing in previous who is hiring threads

  That's why I skip companies asking for an unpaid take home assignment altogether. I have a job, responsibilities at my current job, it simply isn't worth my time.
