Joby | Bay Area | Full-Time

Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most.

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Mobile/Full stack Senior Software to join our Air Taxi Systems team. Most of our apps are built with SwiftUI, TCA, and GraphQL. Our backend is a mix of Java, Rust, and Swift using Federated GraphQL.

We are also hiring a variety of engineers, technicians, and corporate roles: https://www.jobyaviation.com/careers/

Something like this is reasonable. To clarify, we can't support arbitrary tasks yet on our submission platform; the tasks have to belong to a set of supported repositories. But tasks of this difficulty level generally tend to be hard enough.

You can't know for sure what is going to be the right difficulty in advance; however, you can definitely develop intuition for it as you make more tasks and better understand the model's strengths and weaknesses!
