IoT telematics and fleet management platform for mobile workforce operations
SquareGPS operates a location and telematics platform for fleet and asset tracking, built on a modern cloud stack (AWS, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Kafka, ClickHouse) optimized for high-throughput IoT data. The company is actively rebuilding its platform around AI and moving toward a composable architecture, evident in current projects around low-code IoT automation and a redesigned billing system. Hiring skews senior (4 of 7 roles) across engineering and product, suggesting they're scaling execution rather than headcount — a pattern consistent with platform modernization work.
SquareGPS develops a mobile resource management platform designed to track and optimize vehicles, people, and physical assets for mid-market operations. The product surfaces real-time location data, telematics, and operational insights through mobile (iOS, Android) and cloud interfaces, powered by IoT data pipelines built on Kafka and ClickHouse. Founded in 2005 and based in Westlake Village, California, the company spans three continents with ~100 staff. Primary market segments include fleet operators, field service companies, and logistics providers seeking to improve safety, reduce costs, and enable data-driven decisions at scale.
Core stack: AWS, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Kafka, ClickHouse, Spring Boot, GraphQL, iOS (SwiftUI, MapKit), Android (Jetpack Compose). Supports REST APIs and GraphQL for integrations. Operational tools: Jira Service Management, Zoom.
Platform modernization: low-code IoT automation, composable architecture redesign, high-throughput data layer optimization. Commercial: client onboarding/billing platform, channel partner training, technical documentation. Active projects target IoT data processing and event-driven workflows.
