About Rivian

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

  • Own complex technical initiatives from concept through production.

  • Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, and technical roadmap planning.

  • Integrate and optimize systems across ERP, logistics, planning, and supplier platforms.

  • Ensure high availability, observability, and operational excellence.

  • Experience in building modern web applications using frameworks (React, Angular, Next JS).
  • Cloud and container experience (AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes).
