Job Description

Why us?

Jerry is a fast-growing, pre-IPO startup on a mission to revolutionize the $2T car ownership industry in the U.S. With $240M in funding, 60X revenue growth in 5 years, and an ambitious plan to become a $10B company, we’re looking for driven individuals to help scale our product.

2024 was a milestone year for Jerry. We delivered nearly 50% year-over-year revenue growth while reaching profitability for the first time in our history.

Join a talented team with leaders from NVIDIA, Amazon, NerdWallet, ByteDance, Square, Meta, and more, and build one of the most exciting startups in the industry.

And we're just getting started! Jerry’s growth is driven by forward-thinking technology; Harvard Business Review covered the success of our chatbot less than a year after its launch and Jerry is getting mentioned in many conversations about our use of GenAI, such as this Forbes article.

About the opportunity

We are seeking a purpose-driven Senior Backend Engineer to work on a critical, stealth project on our DriveShield team to enhance driver safety and make a real-world impact on the lives of millions.

You will play a key role in building scalable and high-performance backend systems that power Jerry’s explosive growth. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the team that helps us go from 5M to 50M customers and disrupt a $2T market while driving innovation at scale.

How you will make an impact

• Focus more on the non-functional requirements of backend applications, including service availability, scalability, reliability (fault tolerance), and possibly observability and security
• Oversee system design and architecture to ensure robust and scalable solutions
• Develop and optimize stream processing applications using Kafka and Flink
• Profile and optimize application performance
• Focus on the application side, collaborating with data scientists to deploy and integrate models in production
• Handle data processing, sanitization, validation, and data QA

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience
• Proficient in at least one core programming language (e.g., Java, Python, Go, JavaScript)
• Expertise in Kafka, Flink, and AWS
• Experience building stream processing applications
• Knowledge in system programming
• Excellent problem-solving skills and proactive approach
• Ability to ship products and features rapidly
• Startup experience at a high-growth company (nice to have)
• Bonus: Experience working with geospatial data
