About Us:

The Scoop team has a simple mission: eliminate traffic, reimagine transportation, and give life back to commuters and communities.

With more than 650,000 carpool trips taken in our first 18 months, Scoop is the largest carpooling platform in the United States. We’re aiming at making carpooling easy for the first time - and we are looking for awesome developers to help us continue the fight against traffic.

Two years after our San Francisco Bay Area launch, Scoop has become a vibrant community of coworkers and neighbors across the Bay and, more recently, Seattle. Our mobile-first commuting technology powers the carpooling programs of many of the Bay Area and Seattle's largest employers, including Tesla, Workday, and Salesforce.
