About Check A Car

Check A Car helps UK drivers and automotive businesses make safer decisions with instant vehicle history reports and AI buyer insights. We turn a UK registration (VRM) into a report covering tax status, MOT status/history, stolen and write‑off markers, outstanding finance, and mileage consistency (availability varies by vehicle/source), then present plain‑English guidance that helps buyers decide what to do next.

What you'll do

• Own end‑to‑end product work across our Next.js app and backend services (including Firebase/serverless where applicable).
• Ship improvements to the core user journey: VRM → checkout → report view → saved history/support follow‑ups.
• Build internal/admin tooling that helps us troubleshoot reports quickly and improve data quality.
• Collaborate with Product and Design to deliver clear, trustworthy experiences (especially around risk markers and limitations).
• Improve performance, reliability, observability, and developer experience.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience with TypeScript and React/Next.js in production.
• Comfort owning backend work (APIs, data modeling, background jobs) and shipping end‑to‑end.
• Familiarity with Firebase or similar (Supabase/AWS Amplify).
• Pragmatic problem solving, strong communication, and a bias toward shipping.

Nice to have

• Experience with Stripe, SEO, and content systems (MDX).
• Background in data pipelines, analytics, or AI tooling.
• Experience with “trust UI” and explainability for user‑visible decisions/flags.
