The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer who is passionate about developing technology for the next generation of transport. You will be collaborating with other engineers to design and build advanced, scalable mapping and routing applications. The team you will be working with is responsible for answering the question of "how do I get there and how long will it take?" for thousands of dispatch decisions in real time and monitor the quality and performance of the answers they provide.

As part of a high-growth startup, you will also have the opportunity to collaborate closely with company product leaders, partners, and non-engineering parts of the business. Every member of our organization plays a critical role in shaping the future of our services, team, and culture. The Maps/Routing team always had a strong remote culture, with half of our team being located in Berlin, Germany and half being located in Pittsburgh. Wherever you will join from, we will make sure you will feel like part of the team.

• Experience with map data and graph search algorithms
• Experience using gRPC and protocol buffers
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Experience with tech leadership, project management, and mentoring

We Provide:

• Equity in a well-funded ($3.4b), rapidly-growing startup (Gopuff)
• Onboarding in our HQ in San Francisco + quarterly trips afterwards (when it is safe to do so again)
• Great office space in Berlin (but all work from home right now until it is safe to go to the office again)

At rideOS, we place a strong emphasis on our culture, diversity, and employee wellbeing. We are proud to maintain our small startup hustle while also enjoying the benefits and excitement of Gopuff’s hypergrowth. Come join us to be a part of accelerating our collective mission. rideOS is an e-verified company.
