About the role

Hands-on Staff Software Engineer role focused on turning growing Telematics products into major businesses, with technical leadership and direct customer engagement in routing and workforce management for physical operations.

Responsibilities

  • Work directly with customers and customer-facing teams to understand unmet needs, test assumptions and identify opportunities worth pursuing. Agree on success measures with Product and Design before investing in a solution.
  • Lead ambiguous initiatives end to end, from discovery and prototypes through production rollout, adoption and iteration. Use customer feedback and product data to decide what to improve, expand or stop.
  • Write and ship code on the critical path. Work across services, APIs and customer-facing experiences as the problem requires, combining technical depth with the ability to learn unfamiliar parts of the product.
  • Set technical direction for your area and align the teams needed to deliver it. Make pragmatic architecture choices that support rapid learning today and reliable growth over time.
  • Own the production quality of what you build. Design for correctness, reliability and performance, plan safe rollouts, and use operational evidence to address the constraints that emerge as usage grows.
  • Increase the effectiveness of the engineers around you through design and code reviews, mentoring senior engineers, and removing recurring obstacles to delivery. Share context and decisions so others can move independently.

Qualifications

  • A track record of shipping customer-facing products and growing them beyond their initial launch.
  • Strong product judgement and experience working directly with customers to clarify problems and decide using evidence.
  • Deep hands-on software engineering ability with experience designing, implementing and operating production systems.
  • Experience scaling products and the systems behind them.
  • Technical leadership across team boundaries and ability to align engineers without formal authority.
