About Us
Splend provides people from all walks of life the freedom to earn an income through flexible, all-inclusive car subscriptions. Our unique products offer rental or rent-to-buy options for rideshare and delivery drivers who work with platforms such as Uber, AmazonFlex and more. Essentially, we empower people to take charge of their own career and earning potential. But we don’t just hand over the keys and wave goodbye; Our turn-key solution takes the admin work out of the equation for drivers and uses data insights to keep them safe, freeing up their precious time for all the important things in life.
Our Positive Impact
We’re fast-tracking our transition into green mobility, reducing our carbon footprint by transitioning to electric and hybrid cars, making us an industry leader for this vitally important environmental change.
Here at Splend, we also believe that it’s our people who bring it all together and that an inclusive workplace is not only the right thing to do, but it is also a business imperative. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, we can attract and retain the best talent, create stronger relationships with our customers, and ultimately drive better business results.
About the role
As a Software Engineer at Splend you will work closely with product and with management to build the tools and services we need to scale the business. Our engineering team is currently based in London, with product, business analysis, and IT operations functions based across Sydney and London. With the growth and success of the business, we want to expand our team to include engineers based in our Sydney HQ.
Our engineering strategy is focused around the key pillars of customer experience, processes and internal tools, and data. There’s overlap between all of them, but they all play a key role in our objective of enabling the company’s ambitious growth targets.
During the past 2 years, we have migrated our software towards a full stack architecture of TypeScript React front end and Python lambda backend. Moving forward, we are developing a data centric strategy to enable more flexible product and sales capabilities, offer new products based on our fleet data and expand the capabilities of our data warehouse.
