Company: 

At Arrive AI (Nasdaq: ARAI), we're not just building products—we're transforming the future of the Autonomous Last Mile™ (ALM). Over a decade ago, we started with a pioneering vision and patents for the first smart mailbox for drone delivery. Through systematic research, development, and deep customer collaboration, we've evolved to today where we deploy Arrive Points—a type of smart locker and mini-cross-docks for frictionless drone, robotic, and courier delivery and pickup, utilized from medical supplies to meals to e-commerce. Arrive AI is now growing and investing to scale an ALM network and platform of the future for all autonomous delivery providers, services, and customers. Arrive AI is the intelligent choice for the last inch of the Autonomous Last Mile™.

We’re seeking an experienced Team Lead, Platform Software Developer to spearhead the software backbone of the Arrive Point ecosystem. This isn’t just about coding—it’s about architecting a next-generation platform that seamlessly integrates IoT devices, AI-driven intelligence, and cloud infrastructure to power the Autonomous Last Mile™. 

You’ll lead and mentor a team of developers, set technical direction, and turn vision into reality—ensuring our platform is scalable, secure, and future-proof. This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of hardware and software, can move fast from prototype to production, and is passionate about using technology to reinvent how goods move through the world. 

 What You’ll Do: 

• Lead and Inspire: Manage, mentor, and grow a team of platform developers, instilling technical excellence and a culture of innovation. 
• Architect the Core: Design and implement scalable, secure, and modular full-stack architectures that power Arrive Point units and the broader ALM ecosystem. 
• Drive from Prototype to Production: Take concepts from early-stage builds to production-grade deployments, ensuring seamless integration with hardware, AI, and real-time logistics operations. 
• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work closely with AI/data science, hardware engineering, and product management to align software development with company strategy and evolving customer needs. 
• Infuse AI: Integrate AI-driven features—such as predictive maintenance, routing optimization, and system intelligence—into platform services and tools. 
• Champion Best Practices: Lead code reviews, establish CI/CD workflows, and drive improvements in performance, security, and maintainability. 
• Stay Ahead of the Curve: Track emerging technologies in cloud, IoT, and autonomous systems to push innovation in hard-tech software. 

What We’re Looking For: 

• Leadership: 7+ years in software development with proven team leadership in hard-tech or product-driven environments. 
• Full-Stack Expertise: Deep experience across front-end, back-end, databases, and APIs, with fluency in system architecture and CI/CD pipelines. 
• IoT + Cloud Acumen: Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and IoT integration; bonus if you’ve worked in logistics, robotics, or autonomous systems. 
• AI IQ: Demonstrated experience embedding AI models into systems—or a strong drive to harness AI tools to improve development speed, reliability, and intelligence. 
• Problem-Solver: Can navigate ambiguity, rapidly prototype, and iterate toward scalable solutions. 
• People & Communication Skills: Excellent at mentoring engineers, translating technical concepts for non-technical teams, and fostering cross-functional collaboration. 
• Startup DNA: Thrives in a fast-moving environment where speed, creativity, and ownership matter. 

Additional:
