Design and prototype AI-powered features using data from our bikes and riders.
Help architect systems for crypto payment integration and future token-based features.
Build internal tools to support operations, customer support, and maintenance workflows.

Pitch in where needed: testing, ops, support, architecture—you are part of a small team with high leverage.
