Joby Overview

Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. Since 2009, our team has worked steadily to make this dream a reality. We’ve designed and tested many generations of prototype aircraft capable of serving in a network of electric air taxis. We’re looking for talented, committed individuals to join our team as we push onward toward certifying the Joby aircraft, scaling our manufacturing, and launching our initial commercial service.

Overview

We're looking for a highly motivated Mobile/Fullstack Senior Software Engineer to join our Air Taxi Systems team. We're seeking someone who has a demonstrated ability to ship iOS apps to both consumers and internal users. It is important that this person has worked on related backend APIs to power these apps. We're working on making quiet, emissions-free flight an everyday reality. As an engineer you'll work closely with product managers, designers, flight operations, and other engineers to maintain and stand up apps for our existing suite of tools in our EFB (electronic flight bag) for pilots, internal apps for our day to day operations on site, and consumer facing apps for riders. At this time working on the air taxi systems team is still similar to working in a start-up environment as we’re developing all the systems for commercial launch. We're looking for someone who is passionate about aviation, technology, and having a positive impact on the world.

Responsibilities

  • Develop consumer-grade mobile apps according to product requirements and design
  • Iterate with product managers and designers
  • Collaborate on and implement APIs and backend functions when possible
  • Conduct thorough engineering testing and collaborate closely with QA
  • Deployment and maintenance of public and company-internal apps

Required

  • 8+ years of software development
  • Deep knowledge and Expertise in iOS development
  • Familiarity with Swift and modern frameworks
  • Some backend work (e.g. Java, Go, python)
  • Built and shipped apps to consumers
  • BS/MS in Computer Science or a related technical field
  • Track record of shipping apps to the App store

Desired

  • Experience designing for multiple form factors (phone/tablet)
  • Experience in consumer applications
  • Experience with mobile applications on android platforms
  • Familiarity with web technologies (HTTP, RESTful APIs, GraphQL) and modern front-end concepts
  • Are a pilot or have an interest in aviation and/or new transportation technology
