• Strong understanding of fundamental software engineering principles: testing, version control, code reviews, debugging.

• Collaborative mindset and experience working on a team to build customer-facing products.

• A desire to grow as an engineer and contribute to a supportive and high-performing team.

An ideal candidate also has:

• Experience working in a mobile-focused environment, contributing to apps used at scale.

• Exposure to monitoring, logging, or performance tooling to improve app health and reliability.

• Interest in building for real-world users like drivers, field workers, or logistics teams.

• Familiarity with accessibility best practices and UI design principles.

• Curiosity around full-stack systems and how mobile clients interact with backend services.

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: The software, firmware, and hardware you build will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
