Staff Software Engineer, Front End - Application Services
Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.
As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.
Rivian’s Digital Technology Team is building the digital experience outside the vehicle (e.g. vehicle configurator, payment gateway, vehicle delivery management, service scheduling) across web, mobile app and in retail stores. We are developing a world-class commerce platform that makes purchasing electric adventure vehicles intuitive, seamless and fun.
We are looking for Staff Software Engineers for our Application Services Team which will build systems that power amazing experiences for our customers.
