- You will act as a liaison and work closely with Product Managers, Designers, and other Engineers to plan, design, architect, and implement features in the core areas of our platform.
- You will be working with interesting data points/streams at scale (both in-house data and from integrations with 3rd parties such as GPS and fuel card providers) to provide actionable insights to the end-user.
- You will research, implement prototypes and spikes as necessary to validate assumptions and technical feasibility.
- You will champion code quality and introduce necessary design patterns by working in unison with other Staff and Principal Engineers.
