Job Description

Help shape the future of robotics with us!

About Tiny Mile:

We're making last-mile delivery faster, cheaper and greener. We deploy remotely-piloted electric sidewalk robots that provide a safe, contactless delivery option to restaurants, pharmacies, and other retail partners and their customers. We've raised $10M in funding from notable investors who believe Tiny Mile has hit an inflection point. Some of our investors include Animo Ventures, Bedrock, Golden Ventures and Naspers.

Why Tiny Mile exists:

We're solving a real problem. The transportation sector is among the highest polluters, accounting for 29% of greenhouse gas emissions. Urban last-mile delivery emissions alone are set to increase by 30% by 2030 due to the rise in e-commerce. Our robots use as much electricity as a lightbulb, are fully electric, and free up congested road space by 'right-sizing' vehicles for local small parcel delivery. Imagine getting medication from your local pharmacy delivered in -20 Celsius weather for less than it costs to fill the prescription. Transportation has always been the backbone of the economy. Our delivery robots are here to ease trade and foster economic growth. Join us and be part of this uncharted territory!

What you'll be doing:

Reporting to our CEO, the Frontend Software Engineer will build tech from day one that's immediately deployed in the real world. Imagine being able to tell your friends and family that you helped put some of the first robots on sidewalks! We're looking for a Frontend Software Engineer to help us develop web apps that drive our robots and manage our fleet. At Tiny Mile, we're a small but mighty team. Our Engineers create systems, tools and processes that increase productivity and work as a multiplier for the entire organization.
