Job description

Job Summary:
ALSO is an electric mobility company focused on creating innovative small EVs to address global mobility challenges. The role involves leading the development of an end-to-end navigation experience, collaborating with various teams to create a modern navigation solution from scratch.
Responsibilities:
• Own the implementation of our flagship navigation experience, from routing to rendering.
• Integrate with external mapping/navigation APIs to power route planning, turn-by-turn directions, and rich map metadata.
• Collaborate with firmware, mobile, and product teams to define the navigation system interface between bike hardware, the mobile app, and cloud services.
• Design robust, low-latency APIs and cloud systems that handle location, routing logic, vehicle-specific optimizations, and data synchronization.
• Enable critical edge cases like offline fallback, route recalculation, device reconnects, and display rendering on constrained hardware.
• Work alongside the firmware engineer to define BLE protocols and vector graphic rendering constraints for the bike’s microcontroller-powered display.
• Shape our engineering culture and development practices through documentation, mentoring, and hands-on leadership.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Strong backend engineering experience in a production-grade environment, ideally using Golang and AWS.
• Proven ability to architect and ship complex systems in a fast-moving startup or 0→1 product environment.
• Deep understanding of real-time or near real-time system design—especially in latency-sensitive use cases.
• Extensive experience with mapping and navigation platforms and integration (e.g., Google Maps APIs, Mapbox, HERE, TomTom)
• Excellent technical judgment and a system design mindset that balances robustness, performance, and maintainability.
• Comfort working cross-functionally with firmware, mobile, and product stakeholders.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
Preferred:
• Familiarity with BLE, GPS, and/or hardware-software interfaces
