Donkey Republic is a software and hardware bike-share provider active across Europe with its own city operations as well as supplying partners with vehicles and software to operate their own fleet.

We are continuously improving our fleet of rental bikes and ebikes, and are now looking for an ebike / bike hardware developer, who will be responsible for development of our future vehicles and other hardware products. 

As part of the development process, you will work with our users and B2B customers, to specify needs and together with hardware design and engineering teams transform them into products. Once a spec is ready you will hand over to supply chain for ordering of the bikes.
