Responsibilities

Own the Cabin UX application end to end, including server-rendered HTMX UI, NestJS services, and supporting cloud APIs.
Build accessible rider-facing interfaces for embedded and tablet displays that remain reliable under varying light, motion, and connectivity conditions.
Integrate WebRTC audio and video communication between cabins and operators, including signaling and graceful degradation.
Integrate audio, announcements, sound design, and multi-channel playback systems.
Consume vehicle telemetry and fleet state over WebSockets, SSE, or message buses and render it in real time while handling stale, missing, and out-of-order data.
Implement offline-first behavior with local state, queued actions, and safe defaults during uplink loss.
Deploy and update software on on-vehicle edge compute and partner on packaging, provisioning, and fleet rollout.
Test on real hardware and in hardware-in-the-loop and simulation environments, including building tools for vehicle-free testing.
Design and optimize relational and NoSQL schemas supporting cabin and operator workflows.
Collaborate with Design to turn rider-experience concepts into measurable shipped products and incorporate field learnings.
Support localization and accessibility across cabin and adjacent rider-facing applications.
Document practices, establish sensible default stacks, and mentor engineers on rider-facing and on-vehicle development.

Requirements

Expert-level TypeScript across frontend and backend, plus expert-level HTML5 and CSS.
Production Node.js backend experience, ideally with NestJS on Fastify, including modules, dependency injection, guards, interceptors, and server-side templating.
Experience with HTMX, hypermedia-driven architectures, server-rendered interfaces, and deciding when to use richer clients such as React, Vue, or Svelte.
Experience streaming server state through HTMX SSE or WebSocket extensions and server-push infrastructure.
Hands-on WebRTC experience covering media capture, signaling, TURN/STUN, and diagnosing quality issues on unreliable networks.
Experience with WebWorkers and event-driven or message-bus architectures such as MQTT or gRPC streams.
Experience shipping web-native or embedded UI on Linux-based or tablet hardware, including display, input, and power constraints.
Experience with Web Audio or native audio pipelines, or the ability to learn these systems quickly.
Experience defining schemas and working with databases such as Postgres or Redis.
Comfort with Linux, containers, and edge or on-vehicle deployment; Kubernetes and fleet rollout familiarity is preferred.
Familiarity with AWS services such as EC2, S3, and DynamoDB.
Strong accessibility, internationalization, and public-facing unattended-use design instincts.
Ability to work across hardware, network, and design teams and debug cross-functional problems.
Preferred experience includes automotive, transit, kiosk, or public-facing embedded interfaces; NVIDIA Jetson hardware; Three.js, WebGL, or shaders; and hardware-in-the-loop testing or simulation.
