The time to rethink the city is now. Join us in reimagining what’s possible.

Position

Hi,
We are Anton, Ben, Bernd, Delia, Iulia, Jan, Mark, Nils, Patrick, Philip and Ulf from the Mobility Core & Services (MCS) squad. As an interdisciplinary team we focus on integrating mobility service providers for car- sharing, scooters, bike-sharing and ride-hailing such as car2go, TIER or FREE NOW (formerly mytaxi) into our urban mobility platform. We care greatly about quality, scalability, ease of use and a great user experience. We’re looking for a backend-focused engineer (d/f/m) to join our squad.

First a quich look at us
Daimler AG and BMW Group are bundling their mobility services in the areas of Carsharing, Ride-Hailing, Parking, Charging and Multimodal Platforms, and create a new global player comprising of five joint ventures. moovel Group is joining forces with ReachNow - and becomes REACH NOW

Our vision is a planet without traffic jams. Our mission is to transform cities by providing the most convenient and sustainable mobility solutions. We create outstanding products with technical excellence, an agile mindset, an open feedback and failure culture and fun at work. moovel is part of two large global corporations, but at the heart of it we still are a start-up. We act as a partner for cities, transport networks and mobility service providers with the goal of making cities smarter and creating an operating system for urban mobility that provides access to appropriate mobility options in urban areas and paves the way for the future with autonomous vehicles. Currently, 150 employees work in small creative teams in Germany and the US at three locations - Hamburg, Berlin, and Portland.

How the role works
We are building services that provide a fully fledged feature set of urban mobility service providers. Our backend enables the moovel mobility app to find nearby mobility options like car or bike-sharing as well as scooters and ride-hailing services. It also allows booking functionality and handles payment.
Our services interact with moovel’s mobility platform as well as external APIs. Many of our services are also exposed to external partners, so they have to be well documented, stable and easy to use. Implementing new services in a consistent way is also very important to us.

Some of the things you will do

• Work in the mobility core & services (MCS) squad together with other backend engineers, mobile engineers, QA engineers and designers
• Build microservices with Node.js written in TypeScript and deployed on AWS
• Design and implement APIs for discovering mobility points, booking flows and payment for mobility services.
• Integrate APIs from third-party mobility service providers into our platform.
• As we follow agile principles, you will participate in defining our products and building them. Your input is valued!

About you

• You know how to operate services in production: deploying, performance monitoring, tracing problems, and optimization are part of the things you have done in the past
• We run our services on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and monitor them with New Relic. Knowledge with those technologies is a plus, but not mandatory.
• You are able to communicate verbally and written in English (we communicate mostly in English).
