Job Description

Lime is the world's largest shared electric vehicle company. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered 400+ million rides in 250+ cities on 5 continents, replacing an estimated 100+ million car trips. Named a Time 100 Most Influential Company and Fast Company Brand That Matters, we achieved a fully profitable year in 2022, becoming the first in our industry to reach this milestone.


We are looking for an accomplished and forward-thinking Principal Engineer to become an integral part of the Rider Team. The rider team is the heart of Lime. We serve our riders from their first trip until they become power riders. As a pivotal member, you will wield significant influence in shaping both the engineering vision and the business landscape. The responsibility for steering the engineering culture, shaping the future of rider experiences, and propelling the growth of Lime's micromobility platform rests squarely in your capable hands.


Step into the role of a principal engineer, where you'll make impactful decisions on backend-mobile interfaces, tech choices, and processes. Dive into cool projects, from major innovations to scaling up successful initiatives like revamping interfaces for smoother rider experiences, supercharging swapstations for easy battery swaps and rider discounts, and streamlining parking and onboarding to enhance Lime's user-friendliness. Your mission? Elevate testing, code quality, and proudly showcase these innovations to friends and family in real life. Ready for the ride?
