About the Team We are a team of backend and platform engineers responsible for the core systems that drive our fleet’s operational efficiency. Our mission is to build the "brain" behind fleet management —systems that track the physical state of every vehicle, manage complex hardware configurations, and manage vehicle availability, scheduling, and operational workflows. We act as the source of truth for the physical state and readiness of our fleet.

What You'll Need • Extensive experience in backend development using Python or Go. • Deep expertise in relational database design and optimization • Proven track record of building, deploying, and maintaining robust, data-intensive backend services. • Strong understanding of how to translate intricate business requirements and physical constraints into clean, modular code. • A product-oriented mindset — you care about the reliability and usability of the tools you build. Nice to Have • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS) and modern infrastructure-as-code practices. • Familiarity with gRPC and Protocol Buffers for inter-service communication. • Background in building operational tools, logistics systems, or resource management platforms.
