Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone with relevant technical skills and experience in e-commerce products. You understand that development is about picking the right trade-offs and not about building the perfect system
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, or similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience
- At least 2 years of professional experience as a developer working in an agile product development environment
- You’ve developed for different platforms and device sizes. Most of our traffic is mobile. Performance and ease of use are very important for us and for you
- Our frontend stack is Jinja, Typescript, React, and Vanilla CSS. Our backend is Flask and Django. We expect you to have experience with at least some of the technologies we use – and be willing to learn the rest
- Able to translate requirements into well-designed technical solutions and effective communication skills
- Living in the Netherlands or willing to relocate from any EU country
What the job involves
- You’ll be working on our Web platform and contributing to how our customers and partners experience Tiqets. You will make sure the main website is fast, usable, and accessible, especially on mobile devices. You’ll keep the codebase clean and maintainable
- We believe that development is a people-oriented process. You’ll work closely with the product manager, designer, and backend engineers of your team. We work in an agile way, learning from the needs of our customers and partners and adapting to them
- Collaborate with the product manager and designer to implement a new user feature
- Plan and implement A/B tests
- Build and maintain a library of components inside an Nx monorepo to be used across different applications and domains
- Keep a technical debt backlog and ensure it’s paid
- Work with the operations team to create new pipelines in Gitlab CI for our frontend
- Upgrade our accessibility and performance by improving important metrics with the help of Lighthouse
- Use Sentry to keep our website bug-free and debug any issues
- Improve our monorepo pipeline to speed up and unify development
- Create a Datadog dashboard to monitor the errors & performance for your newly created frontend
Our take
Museums and attractions might have had people tolerating lengthy ticket-booth queues in the past, but the rising tide of digital transformation has today’s visitors expecting more. With many museums in particular operating on precarious funding models, they can’t afford to lose visitors, so Tiqet’s simple digital ticketing platform should offer something of a lifeline.
Tiqet’s easy browse-and-buy selection of e-tickets to top locations across the globe has proven especially useful - both for facilitating greater footfall, and for converting visitors to repeat customers with data gathering and analytics. It is this latter point that may prove especially useful: with an increasing proportion of museums' and attractions' revenue coming from gift shops and cafés, rather than ticket sales themselves, they are increasingly pivoting towards a consumer model. Consequently, they will need to keep a tighter finger on the pulse of consumer demand.
What bodes especially well for Tiqet has been a impressive funding round led by travel giant Airbnb, who offered guidance and collaboration to the startup. The company has led digital transformation in a key aspect of the tourism industry, and has made several advantageous partnerships with companies such as Klook and RUNNR.ai.
