**About the Role**
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with experience building
applications at scale. This is a high-impact role at a crucial time for us as
we gear up for a 25-30X increase in our user base over the coming months.
There is a ton of ownership as part of the first 10 engineers on the team with
strong potential to grow your career.
As product-driven engineers, we are committed to creating polished and
intuitive experiences and, at the same time, obsess over the performance and
reliability of what we build. We challenge the status quo and strive towards
finding the best way to solve problems. We strongly follow the ship early and
ship often strategy in almost everything we do. Instead of meticulously
crafting the perfect product, we start at v0 and iterate towards the perfect
vision. It’s an ethos that we believe is instrumental to our growth and it’s
one of our most cherished company practices in creating better work faster.
You will work closely with the rest of the founding team and lead the charge
on our engineering systems. We are a small, high-caliber team of the brightest
people we know, so we have a lot of trust and accountability to perform the
work required to build the best product. This is a unique opportunity for
someone who wants to be at the ground floor of a game-changing company on a
mission to disrupt what we believe will be the largest transformation since
the Internet. Transportation is the backbone of cities and this is your chance
to help shape the future of how people move in this rapidly evolving landscape
of mobility.

**Whom We’re Looking For (Requirements)**
* 5+ years of experience in full-stack development with some expertise in backend or frontend

**Nice to Haves**
* Familiarity with parts of our tech stack (Python, Django REST, React, Typescript, Redux, Postgres, Redis, AWS, Docker)
* Having developed and deployed RESTful or GraphQL APIs
* Previous founding/startup experience or an itch to start a company in the future. We will invest in you!

* Experience in hiring and/or leading a team of highly motivated engineers
