We connect airline rostering systems to Get-e platforms such as transportation, hotel and flights. Every airline speaks a different dialect and we turn all of it into one clean stream of booking requirements the rest of the platform can act on. That platform is a hybrid ecosystem of monoliths and microservices running on Kubernetes in AWS.

In short, your new job as a Senior Backend Developer!

As a Backend developer, you will have a job that provides a lot of variety, but most of all, will give you the opportunity to provide a big impact on the team and company. A few responsibilities that you will get are as follows:

To be the right fit for Get-E, the following requirements are needed:

• Building new features and integrations with third-party systems you don’t control.
• Owning end to end integration and shipping your own work to production
• Performing improvements, investigations and bug fixes to ensure system reliability.
• Creating and maintaining automated tests for robust and efficient software.
• Helping to refine user stories and tasks, ensuring they are well understood and actionable.
• Maintaining a clear and efficient code structure based on best practices and Domain-Driven Design.
• Conducting code reviews to ensure code quality.
• Ensuring proper separation of domains and promoting low coupling within the codebase

• Working in a highly dynamic and technically complex environment.
• You are an autonomous, self-driven person, who brings a strong drive for continuous self-improvement.
• You have a good balance between getting it done and doing it right. You’re not chasing perfection, you’re looking for solutions.
• You bring strong communicative skills, with the ability to explain your technical choices to the team and stakeholders.
• You use provided AI tools to boost your productivity but you don’t allow the AI to drive you.
• You enjoy working in an international work environment with over 21 different nationalities who all bring their unique energy to the table

Sounds appealing so far? Make sure to keep reading, because this position is a great next step into your career!

What do you bring to the table?

• An MVP mindset, you build, you ship out, you collect feedback and make it better.
• Ability to plan ahead just enough before going down the rabbit hole of painting the full picture.
• You know your way around working effectively within a team, but have the ability to work independently on large scale (high availability) SaaS products with zero-downtime.

This role is not a good fit for you if:

• You are dogmatic regarding technical implementations without pondering trade-offs and constraints (time, effort, complexity, value,...).
• You expect to always have completely clear and static roadmaps and feature requirements (we are agile, plans change as information becomes available).
• You are unwilling to constructively contribute to technical, product and business discussions.
• You cannot commit to a direction/decision you disagree with (we can't always please everyone)

What’s in it for you? We want our benefits to make your working life easier, more flexible and a little more enjoyable too.
