Zipcar | <a href=" | San Mateo, CA | ONSITE Full-time (VISA) | Firmware/Embedded C/C++ and Rust
Zipcar is the world’s largest shared-mobility company. We are expanding our engineering team at our SFBA office in San Mateo, and we are looking for passionate, innovative people to help develop our next-generation telematics platform, and keep tens of thousands of in-the-field devices humming. Best of all, you can push the state of the art while you do it with Rust!
We are in the early stages of a green-field redesign of our in-car telematics platform, and are making a big play to write the firmware in Rust. We have support from upper management to open-source what we can (a sampling of the repos is here[1]), and are legitimately pushing the cutting edge of what's achievable. It's _incredibly_ exciting, and you can join us in building first-of-their-kind secure IoT devices. Beacuse it's a new and growing language, we're also realistic about letting our people grow into Rust expertise, and value flexibility over resume bullet points.
The rest of our stack is bare metal C on PIC and RTOS C++ on ARM, with Java on the server/data ingestion side, so you'll need to be at-least-conversant all the way up the stack. When we say "full stack", we mean it! :)
What will you be doing it for? Building connected-car technology for multiple product lines, including Zipcar and Avis. By putting our massive fleets behind an API, we are aiming to be the AWS of transportation.

Mission-driven. Small team. Flexible working conditions. No worries about funding. :)
I have never been happier at a job; this place is great. I build solutions that breathless news articles (still!) talk about happening in the future. I help to move the state of the art in embedded Rust. I'd be one of your peers, and I'm happy to answer questions off-the-record (hn profile address) or on (bmatthews!zipcar,com)
