We’re building a global platform to enable a future where all cars
are shared. There are more than 1 billion cars in the world, and these
cars are parked, on average, more than 95% of the time. With instant and
keyless carsharing via our patented hardware and software platform and
our industry-leading mobile apps, we’re helping communities around the
world share these underutilized resources to reduce their vehicle
footprint while increasing mobility solutions.
With
headquarters in San Francisco, offices in major metropolitan areas
across the US, and now with offices in Amsterdam, our distributed team
is building the future of mobility. If you want to help create this
future with us and change the landscape of cities worldwide, Getaround
might just be the place for you.
As a core
member of the engineering team, you will do more than build apps to
simply rent cars—you will help reshape the future of transportation for
millions of people around the world. You will write clear, maintainable
code that will be shared across projects and development teams. Assist
in architecture discussions to set technical direction and strategy
within the team. Research and adopt emerging mobile best practices to
improve code quality. Provide support and mentorship to other engineers
through code reviews and paired programming. You will also act as a
go-to person for tough questions without becoming a bottleneck.
