Hum was founded in 2019 to make rail transportation safer and smarter. Our products provide railroads, rail shippers, and railcar owners with the most advanced sensors for application like predictive railcar maintenance, live railcar weights as accurate as a scale, and next generation fleet monitoring tools.
Hum is now entering a growth phase as it seeks to meet the needs of its customers across multiple continents. Hum is looking for the right people to join our team as we work to create incredible products that modernize rail transportation.
Hum is hiring a Frontend Engineer to lead our scaling efforts. As an early hire at Hum, this role comes with the opportunity to lead our frontend team as we build it out or continue on as an individual contributor. This is a once-in-a-career opportunity for the right person.
What you’ll be doing
Intuitive Designer – Good designers are rare. At Hum you’ll need to showcase those rare skills by building intuitive applications that unlock the power of Hum’s technology for its customers. We work in an industry that’s decades behind the state of the art. Building applications for this crowd will take an understanding of how to both listen to and ignore customers at the right time.
Best-In-Class Engineering – Hum aims to be the premier engineering firm in the transportation telematics space. Our customers come to us to solve their challenges because our depth of expertise far surpasses anything our competitors can do. We don’t cut corners. We’re not building products for the Walmart bargain bin. We’re building best-in-class hardware and software that pushes the envelope on what’s possible.
What we’re looking for
Fundamental Thinkers – No situation is the same and no two projects or customers are alike. We start from basic principles of physics and mechanics to engineer best-in-class products.
MacGuyver Genes – There’s no book with answers in the back to solve our customers’ challenges. Our team of engineers are experts in resourcefulness and creativity to unlock the best path forward.
Never Satisfied – There’s always something more to improve. Even after we deliver for our customers, we’re constantly integrating the latest technology developments to get better every day.
