About the role
You'll own the Cabin experience: the in-vehicle interface every rider sees and interacts with from the moment they board to the moment they arrive. That includes the cabin display and controls, trip and status information, real-time voice/video connection to operators, the audio and ambient experience, and the pipeline that gets vehicle telemetry onto the screen. The cabin runs on constrained on-vehicle hardware with intermittent connectivity, and it has to be correct, fast, and calm under those conditions.
What they're looking for
- Expert-level TypeScript across frontend and backend, with expert-level HTML5 and CSS
- Strong preference for hypermedia-driven architectures (HTMX, Hotwire, or similar) over heavy client-side frameworks, and good judgment about when a rich client (React, Vue, Svelte) is the right tool
- Production experience with Node.js backends, ideally NestJS on Fastify: modules, dependency injection, guards/interceptors, and server-side templating (Handlebars, EJS, or similar) driving HTMX partials
- Experience streaming server state to the UI using HTMX's SSE or WebSocket extensions, backed by Fastify/NestJS gateways or equivalent server-push infrastructure
- Hands-on WebRTC experience: media capture, signaling, TURN/STUN, and diagnosing quality issues on unreliable networks
- Experience with WebWorkers and event-driven or message-bus architectures (MQTT, gRPC streams, or similar)
