- Provide technical leadership by engaging with architecture, implementation, and engineering fundamentals.
- Coach and develop engineers through close attention to their actual work.
- Build AI fluency across your team, modeling its use in your own workflow, setting expectations for how engineers engage with AI-assisted development, and identifying where AI features can create durable product leverage for Coast's customers.
- Build a healthy, high-performing, inclusive team culture, and hire in a manner that perpetuates excellence.
Requirements

About the Company
- At Coast, we're building the financial infrastructure powering America's fleets.
- Founded in 2020, Coast has become the payments and expense management platform of choice for the 500,000 fleets and 40 million vehicles that keep the country moving — giving fleet owners and operators control, visibility, and trust over how their businesses spend.
- Simplicity is our competitive advantage. In an industry where complexity is the norm, we're building something opinionated and focused: software that field workers and fleet managers actually want to use.
- Every member of our fully co-located team is a builder who cares deeply about bringing modern, well-crafted tools to the trades — an industry that's been underserved for too long.

- Coast is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are building a diverse and inclusive environment, so we encourage people of all backgrounds to apply.
- We’re an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, religion, disability, national origin, protected veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
