Job description
We are looking for a person who is passionate about development and is excited to join the team of our Engineers
What you will be doing:
Crafting an elegant, resilient, and useful distributed system for booking business travels.
You certainly:
Have 6+ years of strong experience working with Python and Django and a continuous desire to improve your skills.
Have experience with asynchronous programming (asyncio, aiohttp)
Are familiar with at least one RDBMS (Postgres) and with NoSQL solutions (MongoDB)
Can write unit tests and autotests
Have a high level of responsibility and independence
Have a B2+ (upper Intermediate +) level of English and are ready to use it in everyday communication
Have experience with elastic search
You can be located anywhere in +/- 2 hours Kyiv timezone, but you have to be initially a citizen of Ukraine.
Can legally travel abroad if needed — position may require business trips in the EU.
You probably:
Have contributed to an open-source project
Have experience in mentoring newcomers and leading small project groups
Have experience with Docker and K8s
Who we are:
We are a tech team of adventurous travelers, who were once a part of YCombinator alumni — GetGoing Inc., founded in 2012 by Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley graduates. We also raised ~$10M in venture capital from Silicon Valley.
In 2016 we joined BCD Travel (www.bcdtravel.com), a global corporate travel management company with annual sales of $25 billion, to bring our unique technology of hotel booking to BCD Travel’s products.
What we do:
The product we develop is a B2B booking platform for business trips, which helps users book hotels, flights, and cars. It provides both business travelers and their travel agents with detailed itineraries and the best booking options. Every day thousands of business travellers across the world use our software built on modern technology.
We use:
On FE: ES6 and React/Redux.
On BE: Python 3 as well as: Django, DRF, Celery, Gevent, aiohttp, Airflow, Postgresql, Redis, Memcache, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch, Terraform, Ansible, Stackstorm, Splunk, Docker. Everything is running on AWS.
What we offer:
Results-oriented startup mindset with a stable business model backed by a billion-dollar global travel company.
Money, of course. Medical insurance. English courses. Cookies
Conferences, workshops, certifications refund.
A friendly, professional, and highly skilled team working with the newest technologies.
A great office location in the very center of Kyiv near metro stations Zoloti Vorota/ Teatralna/ Khreschatyk (we have an extra “coffee” kitchen for coffee geeks, a game zone with a kicker and a bomb shelter in the building)
Flexible working hours and the ability to choose between office, remote, or a mix of both.
24 working days of vacation + 6 covered sick days.
A chance to help craft our tools, processes, and culture.
A lab day once a month to dedicate to a project of your own or a study project.
Opportunities for career growth.
