Hey there! We're Balena, a startup laser focused on a single goal: enabling every developer to succeed on the new frontier of Edge/IoT computing and building fleets of devices that work as reliably as servers in a datacenter. In the process of creating this bridge, we've built many tools and services, from cloud services (balenaCloud) to desktop utilities (balenaEtcher), to operating systems (balenaOS), single-board computers (balenaFin), and much much more.
Engineers at Balena have the ability to work on issues and features from inception to deployment, from talking to users to solving architectural riddles to learning new technologies as needed. Engineers are empowered to take on a user problem and chase down its solution to any part of the stack, working alone or coordinating other engineers in service of improving users' lives, without regard for internal silos or barriers.

If Musk isn't right there on the factory line among the workers and endangering his life along with the workers that he is forcing to come work for him, then I will lose a tremendous amount of respect for him. If anything, this should be a good opportunity for the factory workers to unionize and demand better treatment.
VW Group has already released a car which is in the hands of customers today i.e. Porsche Taycan. And there are plenty of EV cars today from the big auto manufacturers e.g. Audi, BMW, Mercedes. Some of which even outsell all Tesla cars in a country or two.
And it's hilarious to see you go on about car companies pre-announcing products when Tesla did exactly the same with the Cybertruck, Model Y, Roadster, Semi.

Balena is laser focused on a single goal: to enable mainstream developers to succeed on the new frontier of Edge/IoT computing in building fleets of devices that work as reliably as servers in a datacenter. In the process of creating this bridge, we've had to build many and varying tools and services, from cloud services (balenaCloud) to desktop utilities (balenaEtcher), to operating systems (balenaOS), single-board computers (balenaFin), and much much more.
The role of product engineer at Balena is for a truly full stack engineer, ranging from talking to users to solving architectural riddles to learning new technologies as needed. Product engineers are empowered to take on a user problem and chase down its solution to any part of the stack, working alone or coordinating other engineers in service of improving users' lives, without regard for internal silos or barriers.
The ideal product engineer has a wide variety of background experience and isn't afraid to learn to use more technologies when needed, but also is comfortable deferring to experts within the team when their particular skills are required.
If you think this role is for you, please let us know of a problem you see in one or more of our products, and how you would improve it. All who submit a non-trivial answer to this challenge are guaranteed to have an interview with a member of our leadership team.
