Smartcar | SF Bay | Full-time | Backend Full Stack Developer
Posted this last month and got a lot of great response so I figure it was due for an update...
I joined Smartcar to head up business development at Smartcar. Previously, I founded an event discovery startup that raised $3M and brought it to a $1.5mm run rate. When I was looking for my next role, I was focused on industries that were certainly going to change in the next 5 years: VR, insurance, transportation and eSports. Smartcar falls under transportation and touches insurance; these are two massive industries ripe for disruption. Transportation is nearly 10% of US GDP.
Smartcar is building the open source standard for telematics in the car. We enable dorm room startups to Fortune 500 insurance companies to buid applications on the car. Developers using the platform can create a service that automatically fuels up a driver's car without the driver even having to know by accessing the telematics in the vehicle.
We're a well funded startup, have revenue and a great team hailing from Google and LinkedIn looking to add 3 more. Since last month, we've been moved quickly with customers (can talk about it over the phone) and need help with development.
