Sen.se | Paris, France | https://sen.se/about/jobs | Full-time, ONSITE | Android developer, Python/Devops engineer

Sen.se is focused on building second-generation connected objects, with the platform and applications that make them really smart. After releasing Mother & the motion cookies 2014, we’ve just unveiled the ThermoPeanut, a smart wireless thermometer and the first of the SensePeanut family, a range of easy-to-use BLE sensors.

We’re looking for:

- An Android Developer. You would be working on the SensePeanut companion app, integrating the upcoming members of the SensePeanut family as well as developing new features for the existing ones. We’re especially looking for people with experience connecting BLE devices and working with REST APIs. An experience building an SDK is a big bonus.

- A Python/Devops engineer, to help us improve and scale our backend architecture. You would be maintaining and scaling out our infrastructure, as well as working on some of our backend services, so you'd have to care for both the "dev" and the "ops" part of the job. Our stack is mostly python-based, with heavy use of Django, Rabbitmq, Mysql, Cassandra and MongoDB.

We’re a relatively small team (12 people, of which 7 engineers), working on all parts of the product, so you’d have the opportunity to take part and learn about multiple aspects of the process.

If this sounds like something you’d like, please shoot us an email at jobs@sen.se, or see https://sen.se/about/jobs (in French for now) for more info.

We had to make the same choice a couple months ago with my startup. After some feedback from native & phonegap developers and building a quick prototype with Phonegap we went with native.

Basically Phonegap is cool if you want something for both platforms pretty fast and the UI is not too complex (works well for showroom apps for example). However, performance might be an issue (especially since iOS throttles Webkit outsides of safari), and I've heard that you'd more or less need to use pure JS since existing frameworks (e.g. Sencha) would be too slow. Last thing is that you'd generally still need to write 5-15% of native code for your app, depending on its complexity (again, haven't been far enough but got it from devs who use Phonegap for most of their apps).
