What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of experience building production‑grade backend systems with Go, Python, Java, C, C++, Ruby or comparable language. Go is heavily preferred.
• A strong understanding of CS fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and time vs space trade‑off
• Experience building cloud‑native microservices and distributed systems
• Excellent teamwork and interpersonal skills, with a strong sense of ownership
• Familiarity with machine learning and/or mathematical optimization is a plus
• Familiarity with logistics (route planning, ride sharing, risk profiling) is a plus
