Imagine if you never had to deal with an auto shop again. Imagine if your vehicle were meticulously maintained for optimal performance, and if you ever had a car problem or needed a scheduled service, a highly trained mechanic came to your home or office to do the job.

YourMechanic is making that happen. We remove the hassle and frustration of car repair by sending expert mobile mechanics to your location. We’re making car repair less expensive, exceptionally convenient, and completely transparent. We're backed by top tier investors like Andreessen Horowitz & Softbank and recently raised a $24m series B.

YourMechanic is expanding nationwide and we are looking for software engineers who can work across the entire product spectrum, to join our core development team. This involves working intimately with both the low level parts of our back-end system as well as the user facing front-end. Our back-end implements some of the most complex modules of our system, including our instant pricing engine that is capable of producing car repair and maintenance cost estimates across multitudes of combinations of cars and services. If you are excited about solving challenging problems and helping to bring the archaic car repair/maintenance industry into the modern age, we would love to hear from you!

OUR DEVELOPMENT STACK

  • Ruby on Rails for back end.
  • Postgresql DB, with Redis for in memory caching.
  • React for front end.
  • Swift for iOS app.
  • Java for Android app.
  • Special purpose modules in nodejs, golang and tomcat.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Someone who is an overall good problem solver, and not necessarily a “pro” in any specific language or framework or software development technique.
  • Someone who is open and eager to learn new technology rather than being intimidated by it. Someone who is not married to ‘traditional’ or ‘orthodox’ software development methodology.
  • Someone who is willing to work on any part of the product, from the web app to mobile apps to data processing for analytics, etc.
  • Someone who is detail oriented and mindful of the entire code base. This means doing your own thorough testing to ensure the code base is always in a healthy state. We don’t do extensive code reviews, and therefore place full responsibility on the individual dev team members.

BENEFITS

  • Competitive salary plus equity
  • Excellent medical and dental insurance
  • 1/2 mile from San Antonio CalTrain station
  • Unlimited vacation days and 7 paid holidays
  • Daily lunch program & ample stock of snacks and beverages
  • Car maintenance discount
  • Awesome team mates!
We offer competitive pay / equity / benefits and other perks. Beyond that, we offer an opportunity to build something meaningful. Your work will redefine a massive industry ($150B a year), which is begging for disruption. You will empower thousands of mechanics to live a better life. We’re growing fast and offering the opportunity to build something that really matters and leave a legacy.
