About Us

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

Role Summary

Rivian’s Commercial Technology Team is responsible for the end-to-end implementation of the digital experience outside the vehicle. That’s all of our customer and internal applications across web, mobile, and in-store experiences. To that end, we are developing a world-class technology platform that will make learning about, purchasing, and enjoying our electric adventure vehicles intuitive, seamless, and fun.

As a Full Stack Engineer, we want you to join our diverse, talented, and collaborative group, building large-scale client-side applications using modern micro-frontends and micro-services. You will contribute to the creation of reusable frameworks and tooling, pushing for modularity and continuous integration and delivery. You will partner with other engineers, designers, and product managers to build these friendly and memorable experiences for our internal and external customers. This is an exciting opportunity to join a high performing team early on and help grow our digital technology platform's technical foundation.

Responsibilities

• Come together with your peers to share ideas, ask why with an open and curious mind, learn from each other’s diverse perspectives, and deliver great work as a team.
• Develop, unit test, and document performant code, ensuring efficient browser memory usage and fast load time.
• Define and help grow our end-to-end testing strategy and frameworks.
• Help define the architectural vision of the team.
• Mentor other engineers, helping them learn and improve their technical skills.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of software engineering industry experience, ideally building large scale enterprise-grade systems.
• Experience building and maintaining distributed systems at scale that can handle millions of transactions/second.
• Proficiency with full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript development (NodeJS/ExpressJS).
• Proficiency with JavaScript/ES6, Webpack, React, Jest.
• Proficiency with AWS Lambdas or other serverless compute services.
• Proficiency with HTML5, SASS/LESS, Rest APIs, JSON, HTTP.
• Experience in building REST and/or GraphQL APIs.
• Experience defining and implementing integration and end-to-end testing strategies and frameworks.
• Experience with JEST, Mocha, and Cypress.io.
• Great understanding of Web Accessibility.
• Great understanding of caching, security, and privacy considerations.
