Senior Software Engineer (Platform)

TRUCE is a company that builds contextual mobile device management solutions, helping organizations drive safer and more focused mobile usage. Our mission is to keep people safe and productive by managing mobile device access based on the context of their environment.

You will be joining our Platform team, a growing group of dedicated backend engineers responsible for all core backend services. This includes key infrastructure for trip scoring, real-time analytics processing, messaging, and more. We offer an excellent opportunity to work on the latest technologies and build architectures that scale.

The interview process will include writing and troubleshooting code, in addition to the technical interview.

The Role
