Standard Fleet is building the next generation of Fleet Management software. With Standard Fleet, electric vehicles are first-class citizens and fleet operators no longer need to install cumbersome "dongles" in their vehicles to track or manage their vehicles. Our mission is to accelerate the commercial adoption of electric vehicles by setting a new standard in fleet management.
Every member of the Standard Fleet team is fueled by an unwavering passion for transportation and electrification and is deeply committed to making our products better. We come from companies like Apple, Uber, Tesla, Stripe, Robinhood, Yelp, and Embark. In 2024 our revenue grew by nearly 6X.
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, who founded Embark. At Embark, the team built a popular transportation app used by millions, which the team ultimately sold to Apple.
We’re seeking a backend engineer to help build the software solutions that fleets desperately need to unlock the power of connected and electric vehicles. You’ll be an early hire, helping to define the future of mobility and empowering thousands of businesses to switch to electric vehicles in the process. This is a rare opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of a rapidly evolving market with enormous growth potential.
