  • Lead the cross-functional collaboration with PMs, Engineers, Design, Data Scientists, Research, and Operations teams.
  • Mentor and support other engineers on the team. Identify and develop future leaders.
  • Advise Lime’s leadership team on key technology adoption and process improvements.

About You:

  • 4+ years of industry professional software development experience, and a track record of building impactful products or systems.
  • Customer obsessed. You put customers first.
  • Data driven. You have a strong data insight and rely on data to make decisions.
  • Owner’s mindset. You're a self-starter and get things across the finish line.

  • Strong influencer. You motivate and empower your team to go above and beyond.
  • Strong collaborator. You understand cross-functional strategies and involve key stakeholders in decision making.
  • Passionate. You’re passionate about Lime's mission and micromobility; you want to see cities transform to becoming people-centric and less polluted.

What We Offer:

  • Opportunity to revolutionize transportation in cities around the world with the leader in urban mobility solutions.
  • Scale with a rapidly growing organization, with significant opportunity for growth.
  • Play a role in the transformation of urban mobility and sustainability.
  • Work with a team of successful, fun and motivated people.
