Software Engineer

About the Company

We build software that helps communities stay connected and mobile. Our flagship product, Ecolane Evolution, is a SaaS platform used by transit agencies to manage on-demand and paratransit scheduling and dispatch. It’s critical, complex work: we help people access medical care and essential services — often when no other transportation is available. We’re a remote-first engineering team that cares about quality, communication, and continuous improvement. We also make use of modern tools — including AI-powered development assistants — to streamline our workflows, reduce toil, and help us focus on solving meaningful problems. If you’re curious, enjoy learning new things, and take pride in writing high-quality software that makes a real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join our backend team. You’ll primarily work on our core Java monolith, contributing to systems that help our platform remain stable, secure, and performant.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of professional experience in software engineering
• Proficiency in Java and familiarity with Spring and/or Spring Boot
• A solid understanding of web application development
