Why Standard Fleet?

Standard Fleet is building the next generation of fleet management software. We treat vehicles as first-class citizens—so operators can connect to, track, and manage their fleets without installing cumbersome aftermarket “dongles.” We started with EVs, and now we’re building the platform for every drivetrain: electric, hybrid, and ICE. Our mission is to modernize commercial transportation by setting a new standard for how fleets are connected, operated, and scaled.
Every member of the Standard Fleet team is fueled by a deep passion for transportation and is committed to making our products meaningfully better each week. We come from companies like Apple, Uber, Tesla, Stripe, Yelp, and Embark. We’re growing quickly, having raised $20m in total funding.
Standard Fleet is well-funded and backed by some of Silicon Valley's top investors. Some of our founding team members, including our CEO David Hodge, previously founded Embark, a popular mobility software company that was acquired by Apple. We’ve succeeded before and we’re now back at it and swinging for the fences.


Responsibilities
  • Build and maintain backend services and infrastructure that support our fleet management platform.

  • Collaborate with design, customer experience, and sales teams, as well as key customers, to define, design, and ship new backend features.

  • Work on core infrastructure, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance across our systems.

  • Own the deployment and monitoring of backend services, ensuring high availability and uptime.

  • Identify and address infrastructure bottlenecks, scaling issues, and operational challenges as fleets use our software in their day-to-day operations.

  • Help drive the technical direction of our backend architecture while balancing trade-offs between development speed and system maintainability.

  • Understand our customers' needs and the electric fleet market intimately to make informed product decisions.
