About The Position

Steer offers a suite of software tools for today's automotive repair shop, combining various software tools into one user-friendly, cost-effective platform to help shop owners focus on their core business. Steer began as an online directory and has evolved into a complete Customer Relationship Management (CRM) marketing suite, including text messaging, email automation, direct mail integration, reputation management, appointment reminders, and more. In August 2024, Steer acquired AutoOps, a leader in modern, intelligent, and fully integrated scheduling software for auto repair shops. The company is growing its engineering team to advance its CRM platform and is seeking a visionary Lead Full Stack Engineer for the Core Platform Team. This role offers true ownership, hyper-growth potential in the automotive industry, freedom to innovate with the latest tech, and an AI-first culture that encourages the use of AI tools to accelerate coding. The position involves architecting and deploying robust, scalable, and secure applications, with a current stack including .NET, React, and Node.js (TypeScript), though specific stack experience is not a strict requirement.
