About carz.dev

carz.dev is an AI car-spotting app. Snap a photo of any car to instantly get its specs and market value, climb the leaderboard, hunt rare cars around Miami, and buy and sell cars through live in-app auctions.

• Own payments with Stripe, including memberships, seller fees, and payouts

• Own our Postgres (Neon) data model and the APIs behind our web, iOS, and Android apps

• Scale our AI features (photo car ID, AI car assistant, image generation) for speed, cost, and fallbacks

• Build listing verification, including VIN decoding and stolen-vehicle checks

• Ship car alerts and push notifications

• Keep everything secure and reliable, including auth, rate limiting, secrets, logging, and monitoring

What we’re looking for

• Strong coding skills

• Great at vibe coding: you build and ship fast with AI tools like Claude Code or Cursor

What we offer

• Flexible schedule

• Big impact: you own the backend, and your code reaches real users fast

• [Optional: equity]

• Free Carz+ membership
