Constructeur/ Engineer - Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Ember Core Ltd

Description

We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected and zero-emission.

Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car.

We're a tech company, not a traditional bus operator.

This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive emissions reduction.

It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops.
We're still tiny, with two routes and 24 buses.

We've recently raised equity from some of Europe's leading climate VCs and are looking for mission-driven individuals who can help take us to the next level.

Our systems drive everything we do including booking tickets, tracking buses, controlling chargers, calculating ETAs, monitoring traffic and keeping passengers informed.

Python for our application code
React for our frontend
Postgres for data storage
AWS, Terraform, Gitlab CI/CD, Docker and ECS to deploy and run our services

Flutter for our on-board server running Android, which handles concession ticket validation with more on-board experience features to come.

Some projects you might work on:

Developing our on-board screens, which are controlled by our own software and show passengers useful information about their journey.

Improving the experience on our website.

That might be adding saved payment cards, refining our operations pages, or keeping passengers informed about temporary stops and roadworks.

That might include adding a map to show passengers their bus, or functionality for passengers to let the driver know they're running late.

Your work will be making a difference to our planet by helping more people travel on zero-emission public transport.

Diversity and equality
At Ember, we support diversity across our team and customers. We work to ensure every employee feels respected and able to give their best, whether temporary, part-time or full-time.

We're happy to offer flexible working patterns where they make sense, are compassionate when it comes to time off and offer enhanced maternity and paternity leave.

Read more about our approach in our Equal Opportunities Policy.

If you have code from projects which you've worked on, please send that too.
You have at least a few years of professional software engineeringexperience.
You want to be constantly shipping quality code which benefits our customers and the business.

You have a good sense of how shape features to make a passenger's experience seamless, whether that experience involves buying a ticket or boarding a bus.

You are interested in contributing to codebases across our techstack such as our backend, frontend and mobile apps.

Bus services are a real-world, tangible product where you can see the impact of changes on people's day-to-day lives.

You are happy to work from our Edinburgh office at least a few days a week, because we value in-person communication.

But we're flexible if you want to work from home on some days.
