About jerry.ai:

Jerry.ai is building a super app for your car that helps people optimize the cost and experience of owning a car (making ownership easy & affordable). There are 240M cars in the US alone. For most people, cars are one of the most expensive assets they own and families on average spend 20% of their income on car expenses, making this a massive market.

We have started with helping people optimize the cost of car insurance and our vision is to help people in every aspect of car ownership. Since our product launch, we have been growing really fast for the past 18 months and our users love the product (rating 4.5 in the app store). Jerry.ai is founded by serial entrepreneurs who previously built and scaled YourMechanic (“Uber for car repair,” the nation’s largest on-demand car repair company). We have raised over $50M+ in financing.

We expect our engineers to be able to contribute across the entire product stack, as well as collectively oversee the integrity of the codebase.

• Be the gatekeeper of the codebase and ensure that it stays stable, readable, and free of technical debt.

Requirements:

• 3 + years of full-time software development experience.
• B.S. degree in Computer Science or related discipline.
