About 8Fleet:
8Fleet is hiring! 8Fleet is a rapidly growing LA-based technology and logistics startup building the operational infrastructure for both non-autonomous and future autonomous rideshare fleets. With our anticipated growth, we’re searching for passionate team members to join and grow with our team. You’ll be involved in every aspect of the operations as we rapidly expand across Los Angeles and beyond!
About the Role:
We are seeking a seasoned and versatile Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to own critical features across our entire technology stack, from the database and core APIs to the client-side user experience. This role demands an engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can take ambiguous requirements and turn them into robust, high-quality, and scalable solutions, and can mentor peers in best practices.
What You'll Do:
Application Development & Ownership
Design, develop, and deploy new features and services across the full stack—including our fleet management dashboards, internal operations tools, and core logistics APIs.
Own the complete lifecycle of features, from technical design and planning through implementation, testing, and production deployment.
Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code in both frontend and backend environments, ensuring performance and security are prioritized.
Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Designers to translate business requirements and mockups into seamless, high-performance user interfaces.
Architecture & Scalability
Lead technical design discussions and contribute significantly to the architecture of new systems, focusing on scalability to support 8Fleet’s growing volume of users and vehicles.
Identify and address performance bottlenecks across the application stack, focusing on database query optimization and API latency reduction.
Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting for production systems to ensure high availability and reliability.
Advocate for and implement engineering best practices, including continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, code reviews, and automated testing strategies.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Mentorship
Work effectively across engineering teams (Data, DevOps, Mobile) to integrate systems and ensure seamless data flow.
Mentor and coach mid-level and junior engineers, fostering a collaborative environment and elevating the team's overall technical capabilities.
What You'll Bring to the Table:
5+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with significant experience operating as a Full-Stack Engineer.
Expert proficiency in a modern backend language (e.g., Python, Go, Node.js) and experience designing and implementing highly available RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
Deep proficiency in a modern frontend framework (e.g., React, Vue, or Angular), with a focus on building complex, stateful web applications.
Proven experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) and advanced SQL query optimization.
Strong understanding of cloud services (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and experience deploying and managing applications within a cloud environment (ideally using containerization like Docker/Kubernetes).
Demonstrated ability to navigate the entire stack, from infrastructure to data modeling to presentation layer.
Exceptional problem-solving skills and a strong commitment to code quality, testing, and documentation.
Bonus Points For:
Experience with geographical data, mapping services (e.g., Google Maps API, Mapbox), or real-time tracking systems.
Experience in the logistics, rideshare, or mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) industries.
Familiarity with microservices architecture and event-driven patterns (e.g., Kafka).
Prior experience in a startup or rapid-growth environment.
Equal Opportunity Employer:
8Fleet is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
