• At Jerry, we're not just building an app; we're creating the first AllCar™ platform, an AI-powered ecosystem designed to simplify every aspect of owning a car. From insurance and maintenance to repairs and financing, we are consolidating these complex services into a single, intuitive mobile experience. Our users are already experiencing significant savings, over $1,000 per year, and our rapid growth, with revenue increasing 60x in the last five years, is a testament to our innovative approach and market demand.
• As we scale from 5 million to an ambitious 50 million users, we are looking for sharp, inquisitive engineers who are passionate about technology and eager to learn. You will be an integral part of our mission, contributing to a product that genuinely helps people save time and money. This role is perfect for individuals who thrive in dynamic environments, embrace challenges, and are excited by the prospect of building scalable, user-centric software.
• You will have the opportunity to join one of our specialized engineering pods, focusing on areas such as the core application, user retention strategies, or automation initiatives.

Regardless of the pod, you will be part of a collaborative team that ships features regularly, works in close partnership with our product management team, and contributes directly to our overarching mission.
• We understand that as an entry-level engineer, you won't possess all the answers on day one. Our culture is built around continuous learning and mutual support. We foster an environment where asking questions is encouraged, and learning from mistakes is seen as a crucial part of growth. We are looking for individuals who possess a genuine love for learning, are comfortable navigating ambiguity, demonstrate a strong sense of hustle and curiosity, and take immense pride in building high-quality, user-first software. Your ability to adapt, innovate, and contribute to a fast-paced development cycle will be key to your success.
• Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve writing production-level code, participating in code reviews, collaborating with senior engineers and product managers, and contributing to the design and architecture of new features. You will gain hands-on experience with our modern tech stack, which includes React and React Native for the frontend, NodeJS and TypeScript for the backend, and leverages AWS, Go, and Python for our infrastructure. Data management involves technologies like Redis, Postgres, DynamoDB, and Clickhouse, while our AI/ML efforts utilize Python pipelines, LLM integrations, and internally developed models.
• You will be instrumental in developing and enhancing features that directly impact our user base. This could involve optimizing insurance quoting algorithms, building new tools for car maintenance tracking, integrating with third-party APIs for repair services, or improving the user onboarding flow. Your contributions will be visible and valued, providing a clear sense of accomplishment and professional development.
• We believe in empowering our engineers. You'll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, propose innovative solutions, and contribute to technical discussions. The mentorship you'll receive from our experienced engineers, who hail from top tech companies like Nvidia, TikTok, and Cepton, will accelerate your learning curve and provide invaluable insights into building and scaling successful products.
• This role offers a unique chance to gain experience across the full software development lifecycle, from ideation and design to implementation, testing, and deployment. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies and learn best practices in software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and data management. Your growth will be driven by merit and impact; the faster you learn and deliver, the faster you will advance within the company. We are committed to fostering a culture where talent and hard work are recognized and rewarded, without unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Join Jerry and become part of a team that is passionate about solving real-world problems and disrupting a massive market. Help us build a product that millions of people rely on every day.
