As a
Senior Full Stack Engineer at
JoyRide, you'll do more than build features you'll architect and scale the backend services that power our mobility platform while also delivering seamless user experiences on the frontend. You'll own end-to-end solutions, with a strong emphasis on backend systems, data design, and performance and complement that with solid frontend skills in React or React Native.
We're looking for an engineer who thrives in building reliable, high-performance backends but is equally comfortable jumping into the UI when needed. Beyond code, you'll mentor engineers, influence technical decisions, and help shape JoyRides long-term engineering direction.
