About The Position

RTA is an AI-forward company, and we mean it in the boring, practical way: our engineers use AI tooling every day, we pay for it, you don't need approval to try something new, and AI-powered features are on our actual product roadmap, not just a slide. If you're an engineer whose output has outpaced your years because you learned to work with these tools instead of around them, you will not have to fight for permission here. Do you enjoy building robust software that powers real products? Do you thrive on turning messy requirements into elegant code? Do you have an uncanny ability to hunt down performance bottlenecks and fix them with style and flair? I'm an Engineering Manager at RTA, and I'm looking for a Software Engineer III to help us build the solutions that keep our customers' fleets rolling. This role is about crafting scalable, high-quality code, performing insightful code reviews, and keeping our systems secure and reliable. If this sounds like you, you could be the peanut butter to our jelly.
