About Prepared

Emergency centers, vital to our society, are often constrained by technology that dates back to the landline era. This presents a stark contrast to our current smartphone-centric, socially connected world. At Prepared , we bridge this gap with cutting-edge technology that harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize how emergency calls are handled.  Our innovative technology is providing a suite of tools that significantly boost the capabilities of 911 dispatch centers and first responders. With our solutions implemented in over 800 cities across 48 states, we're positively impacting the lives of approximately 75 million people.

• Contribute to and advocate for front-end testing strategies, ensuring high-quality code through unit and integration tests.

• Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering growth and knowledge-sharing across the team.

What you’ll need:

• 5+ years of software engineering industry experience, with at least 3 years focused on designing and engineering user-facing features and interfaces

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience
