The engineering team:

Two of the key company priorities for the next 12 months are:

• the ongoing migration from a monolith architecture to a service-oriented architecture, from a PHP/Symphony stack towards a Java / JS- dominated one.

• exciting product evolutions, based on smart geo-matching and practical algorithms that give a personalized experience to each individual user.

By joining our Engineering team, you will be working alongside talented individuals grouped in small agile teams that each have strong ownership on their piece of these goals.

The core of our stack is composed of Java, React, Android, Swift, Go, PHP/Symfony2, KafKa, ElasticSearch, Cassandra, Redis.

The team focuses mostly on the subjects related to searching and pricing trips and all the geo topics. As a backend engineer you will be solving complex geo-based problems at a massive scale while building a robust and easy-to-operate technical stack.
