Senior Ruby Software Engineer (f/m/x) at Distribusion Technologies

*Please note we are looking for Senior Engineers, but also for strong Mids, Staff level Engineers and Tech Leads.*

We are the world’s leading ground transportation marketplace and give travelers seamless access to ground transportation online, from search to ticket purchase. We have built a cutting-edge B2B technology platform that connects bus, rail and ferry operators in 70+ countries with the biggest online retailers including Google Maps and Booking.com. 

We are shaping the future of travel and building the largest global network of transport providers and retailers. Having grown 10x in the past year, we are one of the fastest growing startups in travel. Backed by three leading VCs (Creandum, Northzone and Lightrock), and now, following our recent €30m Series B funding, we are ready to push beyond. 

The role & team

We are searching for Senior Ruby Software Engineers, to join our engineering team. The role implies contribution to the product & technical domains of excellence in the main API product that allows big retailers to seamlessly purchase tickets from bus & rail carriers around the globe. The tech stack consists of multiple services. For smaller business domains, we use dedicated microservices in Ruby and Grape, and for the bigger ones, we have services in Ruby on Rails.

Why join Distribusion now? This is actually a great time to join Distribution and here’s why!

Weve moved beyond the early startup phase where the foundations are still being laid, but at the same time, were not yet a fully mature company where your role might be limited to making minor improvements to already established systems. 

Rather, Distribusion is perfectly positioned in the sweet spot – weve achieved a level of scale that presents great challenges, yet theres still ample room for making significant enhancements as an individual contributor. Your impact and contributions will truly be valuable and meaningful!

What you will do:

• Deliver high-quality Ruby code for new carrier & retailer integrations.
• Manage and orchestrate a large number of microservices.
• Maintain existing Ruby code.
• Improve test coverage and quality of deliverables.
• Contribute to system architectural decisions within the team.
• Contribute to the development of internal tools and libraries.
• Mentoring and guiding junior team members.

Workplace:

• Remote/Berlin

You have: 

• 5-10+ years of software engineering experience. (Please note we have technical challenges for engineers with 10+ years of experience operating at Staff/Principal level and you are also welcome to apply if you are in this category.)  
• Extensive experience integrating external APIs.
• Experience working with microservices and/or service-oriented architecture.
• Good understanding of Kubernetes from a software engineering perspective.
• Experience working with public cloud providers (GCP is preferred).
• Good understanding of relational and non-relational database principles.
• Hands-on experience in designing robust REST APIs.
• You show ownership and responsibility for your problem space.
• You are fluent in English, both verbal and written.

What you can expect:

• You will join a fast-paced travel tech company and take on a rapidly growing industry.
• You will take on ownership and responsibility from day one and have a direct impact on the success of the company.
• We value agility! We’re constantly updating our tech stack and offer the best possible tools to ensure all of our in-house engineers, partners, and carriers benefit from cutting-edge, efficient solutions.
• You will work with global companies - our product attracts the biggest names in travel technology, such as Booking.com, Google Maps, and national carriers like Amtrak, Deutsche Bahn, Renfe, and SNCF.
• You will join an international team of talented and driven people with a clear mission. Expect your colleagues to inspire, support and challenge you every day!
• We offer flexible and remote working conditions, relocation opportunities, and career growth in a small and developing company.
