Lead Full Stack Engineer

About us:

We run the largest network of interactive digital screens in rideshare vehicles (Uber & Lyft) in Canada. We are currently onboarding drivers for our US expansion.

Our network of screens helps to eliminate idle time by entertaining riders with the ability to play games, consume content, redeem promotions/giveaways, and much, much more. By leveraging historic data patterns and new technologies like facial recognition and machine learning, we anticipate the needs of riders to guide them to action with appropriate incentives.

We graduated from Techstars (Comcast NBCUniversal Lift Labs Accelerator) and were named “Canada’s Most Promising Startup” at the NACO World Investment Summit. We are backed by large VC funds, media companies and have partnerships with some of the largest companies in the world. We are revenue generating.

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for a creative and curious developer excited about the future of content, media and analytics. You are excited about influencing engineering decisions and writing production code that will be running on a network of thousands of in-vehicle tablets.

We are looking for a seasoned developer who cares about code quality, customer experience and is passionate about complex, interactive applications with a thoughtful UX/UI. Someone who thinks about architecture and the full software lifecycle, scalability, and reliability will be a good fit for this role. To be successful in this role you need to be transparent, reliable, considerate and a team player. You see technical challenges as opportunities and love finding new ways to solve difficult problems. You think deeply about trade-offs between different technologies and can come with quantifiable arguments about what you think is best.
You aren’t afraid to learn new technologies or how to integrate with existing tools and libraries with the freedom to solve problems on your own and learn by doing. You’re high-reaching, results-focused, metrics-driven and always learning. You appreciate self-growth and personal development and you’re looking to grow with the company.
