ElevateOS integrates with 20+ smart-device ecosystems — keyless entry, locks, cameras, switches, thermostats. Every integration is validated against physical hardware before release. We're hiring the person who owns that entire pipeline: the device lab itself, the test environments and servers behind it, and the integration testing that runs on top.
Who we need: someone technical (junior-middle) who can host and run a physical device lab from their home in Kraków — smart locks, cameras, access-control hardware — and also handle the server/networking side so our developers can remotely connect to and test against that hardware.
You'll build and run your own hardware lab — smart locks, cameras, access control systems, and the servers and test environments behind them. Every device integration we ship passes through your hands before it reaches production, and you'll work directly with the development team and CTO with real autonomy: you decide how the lab, its environments, and its tooling evolve. The role spans mobile, backend, networking, and physical hardware — a breadth almost no single position offers. If you're the type who runs a home lab for fun, this is that, with a company budget behind it.
About ElevateOS
ElevateOS has been improving the resident experience for over seven years. We built a single, all-in-one platform that lets property managers and resident staff work together, replacing multiple confusing apps with one intuitive solution. The product is stable, growing, and US-based. Our stack is JavaScript end to end: React, Node.js, and React Native.
What you'll own:
- The physical device lab — smart locks, access-control hardware, cameras, switches — hosted at your home in Kraków. Setup, configuration, firmware updates, troubleshooting, and inventory.
- Test environments and servers — install, configure, and maintain the local and staging environments our integrations run against; adjust configurations live during debugging sessions with developers.
- Lab networking — device connectivity (Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee/Z-Wave), router and network configuration, and remote access so the dev team can reach devices and environments from anywhere.
- Integration testing — install iOS/Android builds, run end-to-end tests against physical devices, API testing, reproduce and isolate bugs, verify fixes with the team.
- Documentation — device matrix, environment runbooks, test protocols, and findings.
Requirements:
- Based in or near Kraków — the hardware lives with you; the work is otherwise remote.
- Solid Linux and networking fundamentals: comfortable in a terminal with SSH and logs, and with DNS/DHCP/port-level debugging.
- Experience setting up and maintaining servers or local test environments (Node.js ecosystem and Docker familiarity as a plus).
- Hands-on comfort with hardware, physical devices and space at home to host the lab.
- Able to read code (JavaScript/TypeScript), work with APIs (curl, Postman), and read mobile logs.
- Commercial experience (2+y) in a technical role — engineering, QA, sysadmin/devops, technical support.
- Strong troubleshooting instincts and good English communication.
Nice to have:
Exposure to React Native, Kotlin, or Swift; mobile SDK integrations.
Familiarity with smart locks, access control, or keyless entry ecosystems.
MQTT, webhooks, RTSP/video streaming.
Test automation experience; CI/CD (GitHub Actions).
Practical details:
Company hardware is currently distributed across two locations in Kraków and will be consolidated with you during onboarding.
Occasional in-person device handoffs in Kraków.
