Waive | Los Angeles LA Hollywood | Fullstack PHP Python Product Automotive Mechanical Electrical Engineer | Onsite - Full-Time | DoE

We're a (mostly) electric urban mobility company founded in 2015, a bit before the current wave of them being everywhere.

I'm running a team of 3 engineers and am looking for a few more at our family-sized company which may be doing some scaling soon. We have tens of thousands of customers, millions in assets, it's a real thing.

There's a few innovative products in here somewhere and I'm being a bit guarded because there's more than one company with tens of millions in funding who had us multiple times in their pitch deck (one just closed another $30 million last week, splendid).

Anyway, we were on Shark Tank in 2016 and have done a couple iterations of the product since then. We just did a major pivot on May 1st.

Here's our plan for the next year or so, listed in order (highest first):

* A new ad platform for our screens (a version we're going to throw away is at waivescreen.com) * An on-demand gig economy car (see maven, envoy, hyrecar, and getaround for imho, poorly executed examples). This includes * backoffice work (currently in node but new stuff can be in whatever) * a new app or some other kind of smartphone presence (stability and Donald-Norman style UX as opposed to art-school UX is all I care about) * New innovative ad tech (see firefly, grabbit, blip, adomni, etc) * Open-architecture, open platform telematics that don't suck (see invers & vulog)

This may sound a bit ambitious but really a lamp developer who has read a couple marketing books would be just fine.

So just email me already at chris@waive.car ... you've already made it this far.

Please include a sample of your work.
