You’ll be part of a close knit team of Engineers developing the next generation of our T3 Fleet application that enables end-users  to track, monitor and manage the health of their connected vehicles and deployed assets.
Recent initiatives include building connected camera features so that customers can better monitor safety & compliance in vehicles, and improving geofence experience to offer insights about assets within a boundary.
