• Identify and lead improvements to team processes (e.g. release cycles, CI/CD, testing frameworks) to increase efficiency and reduce friction


• Contribute to broader mobile initiatives, such as aligning on shared tooling, frameworks, and long-term platform strategy

About You:

• 7+ years of experience building mobile applications (iOS or Android), including experience working on production-scale apps


• Proven experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex projects end-to-end


• Strong understanding of mobile architecture, performance optimization, and modern development practices (e.g. CI/CD, testing, MVVM)


• Comfortable working across mobile, backend, and product domains to deliver cohesive solutions


• Collaborative and pragmatic, able to balance speed with quality and make thoughtful trade-offs


• Hands-on and detail-oriented when needed, while still operating effectively at a leadership level


• Clear communicator who builds trust across teams and creates a positive, inclusive team environment

Compensation and Benefits Our product impacts millions of users around the world by providing alternative transportation solutions that are more efficient and accessible, helping cities become greener.

• Competitive compensation package including base salary and stock options.
