About the opportunity:

Jerry is building the first AI-powered AllCar app to redefine car ownership. The average American spends over 20% of their annual income on their vehicle, yet every part of owning and managing a car is painful – lack of transparency, poor service, high costs, etc. We are simplifying and automating every step of car ownership, all streamlined on our mobile app. We started with insurance shopping in 2019, since then we’ve launched loan refinancing, real-time driving insights, car diagnostics, a repair marketplace, and a GPT-4 chatbot. Our engineering team isn’t just focused on making something that works, we want to make something that works exceptionally well. If you want to contribute to something that matters and is actively making car ownership easier, simpler, and more accessible for 5M+ people, join us!

We are looking for Ph.D. graduates in the Toronto area to join our engineering team! We are in growth mode and have aggressive goals to scale our technology and our business in the next few years as we go from 5M to 50M users. We don't require any specific work experience but we are looking for the following characteristics: passion for learning, hustle, and ownership. The pace of learning at a startup like Jerry is unbeatable. You can expect your scope of responsibilities to grow quickly if you excel in your role and demonstrate a willingness to keep learning and growing. If you’re looking for an opportunity to accelerate your career, we are hiring across multiple engineering teams!

• Hosting infra: AWS

• React for web frontend

• NodeJS + Typescript for backend development

• React (mobile app is written in React Native)

• Python for data pipeline and ML
