Job Description
Ride Report is a two-year old Portland-based software company that helps get people biking. We’re looking for a engineer who will join the team responsible for all our server-backed services.
LET’S MAKE BIKING MORE FUN
People use the Ride Report app to automatically get credit for every ride they take. They can track their stats, earn rewards and reach their goals to ride more often. Ride Report users can also help each other find the best routes – and help their cities fix the bad ones. Over a dozen cities partner with Ride Report to make planning decisions that are faster, smarter, and more responsive to riders’ lived experiences. With your help, we’ll deliver new features that will make biking more accessible and more fun, and that will enable unprecendented insights into how people bike around their cities.
LET’S MAKE BIKING VISIBLE
Ride Report’s dashboard product gives City Planners unprecedented insights into how people use bikes to get around. Our web-based tool can answer simple questions like “how many people biked today?” or sophisticated questions like “what mode of transportation do new riders switch to when it is raining?”. With your help, we’ll make these tools even more powerful while improving their simplicity and approachability.
