About the department
We're a mixed group of software, embedded and electronics engineers, and we build the technology that is used to power our Beryl Bikes, from the ground up. It's an exciting department to work in, with the opportunity to get involved in lots of different areas. We build technology for both our riders and our internal workshop and operations teams, helping people get about on a fleet of safe and comfortable bikes.
Our tech stack
Here at Beryl we like to focus on things we love to do. We have a modern, clean tech stack and spend a lot of time automating things to remove manual drudgery. We also continue to invest in what we have built to cut down on technical debt. No one likes to work on a system that is full of gotchas and clunky manual processes.
