• 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.
• You will pave the way for other Engineers on the team by building a solid technical foundation.

So many different types of companies and organizations operate a fleet each day, and Fleetio is a good fit for most of them (it’s a huge market).
• Work remotely (within the United States, Canada, or Mexico) or at our Birmingham, AL HQ. Over 80% of our Engineering Team works remotely (including our CTO), and we have promoted a strong remote working culture since the beginning (2012).
• We place great emphasis on work/life balance. We have families and hobbies and know you do too.
