About Kiwi.com

Founded by Oliver Dlouhý and Jozef Képesi in 2012, Kiwi.com is an online search engine allowing users to combine transportation from non-cooperating carriers. Self-connect travel itineraries allow users to combine flights and ground transportation from over 800 carriers. Kiwi.com ranked seventh in the 2017 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA list, becoming the highest-ever rated Czech company. Following the previous success, Kiwi.com ranked fifth in the very same program in 2018. In November 2019, the company announced a change in its vision of becoming the first Virtual Global Supercarrier and won the People’s Choice Award at Phocuswright Conference in Miami.

Position

Ancillaries engineers are responsible for automation and generation of the main revenue stream for the company. Our services obtain availability of extras services like seats, bags, priority boarding, show it to customers and fulfill the order. While providing a unified interface to the rest of the teams in the company, we hide complexity of 100+ different providers under a single application. Our customers rely on us that their baggage is bought, a window seat is selected, and spaghetti in the air is ordered.

We understand the codebase is always changing and therefore enforce clean code, code reviews, and automated testing. As we deploy multiple times per day, QA testing, real-time monitoring, and alerting is an inevitable part of our release process. We often refactor parts of code/product that are slowing development down but also focus on being able to deliver new features - to be innovative and deliver value to our customers. Within the team, we try to spread knowledge and collaboratively work on top priorities to avoid hero syndrome - preventing bus factor.

  • Datadog for real-time app metrics, logs and alerts. Sentry for error tracking - all connected to PagerDuty for high severity incidents

What will you do?

  • Design, develop, integrate and deploy high-quality software aligned with user needs and business goals - finding a balance between business needs and technical excellence
  • Write and review code - contributing to main revenue generation of the company - using best practices
  • Identify, prioritize and execute tasks in the software development life cycle
  • Take ownership of domain/service crossing several teams/services - healthy architecture, testing, monitoring and documentation
  • Lead and mentor less experienced colleagues
  • Actively promote & support continuous learning approach within the team and department, demonstrating a positive attitude
