Zipcar | https://www.zipcar.com | San Mateo, CA | ONSITE Full-time | Firmware/Embedded C/C++ and Rust
Zipcar is the world’s largest shared-mobility company. We are adding senior talent to our engineering team at our Silicon Valley office in San Mateo. We have a rich software stack with which we solve a wide range of challenges: embedded custom hardware and firmware, mobile-first user experience, analytics, scalable real-time scheduling and monitoring, etc.
We're looking for an experienced firmware developer to maintain existing devices in the field, and develop our next generation of telematics devices. Come help us build connected-car technology for multiple product lines, including Zipcar and Avis. By putting our massive fleets behind an API, we are aiming to be the AWS of transportation.
Our stack is PIC and ARM running embedded C/C++, both bare-metal and RTOS, with Java and Rabbit MQ on the server/data ingestion side, so you'll need to be at-least-conversant all the way up the stack. When we say "full stack", we mean it! :) We are also currently evaluating writing our next-gen firmware in Rust, so candidates who know Rust are desired.
Mission-driven. Small team. Flexible working conditions. No worries about funding. :)
I have never been happier at a job; this place is great. I build solutions that breathless news articles (still!) talk about happening in the future. I'd be one of your peers, and I'm happy to answer questions off-the-record (hn profile address) or on (bmatthews!zipcar,com)
