That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 39 listings that did publish a figure, median $140k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.

We're the system of record for the Canadian vehicle: raw automotive data turned into facts that can be checked. Our open-source VIN decoder sits underneath a government vehicle registry.
Some of what's interesting:
- A government registry, a manufacturer's own filing, a listing site and an insurance record will describe the same truck four different ways, and nothing in any of those files says they're the same truck. Reconciling that, for every vehicle in the country, in a way that holds up when a regulator asks how you know, is most of the data work.
- Seventeen characters on a door frame encode manufacturer, plant, model year and build attributes — badly, inconsistently, and differently per manufacturer. Public reference data covers some of it. The rest gets worked out from filings, recall documents, and patterns inferred across millions of vehicles.
- We read vehicles directly over OBD-II now. Forty modules answered on a recent Hyundai, each reporting its own part number and installed software version. Nothing downstream of the VIN moves when a module is reflashed, so no registration, history report or dealer system knows what software is actually in a car.
Hiring: VIN Decode Engineer, Data Platform Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Founding Engineer (dealer platform). TypeScript, Postgres, Cloudflare Workers.
