Company mission
To make cities more habitable by offering a safe, reliable and efficient alternative to private vehicles.
Role
Who you are
- Think Unix, you know the networking stack, the OSI model, containers (and schedulers), and you know your way around monitoring, logging and the CAP theorem (bonus!)
- Have strong programming skills at least in one language, and know your way around a few more or can learn them if the opportunity arises
- Automate yourself out of everything by nature, making machines do the toil
- Communicate effectively and asynchronously
- Care about the things that affect the company, your team, and yourself
- Embrace diversity and humbleness (and a bit of trolling)
- Prefer taking iterative action over waiting for things to happen or to be perfect
- Strongly favor simplicity over complexity. Ie, adhering to the KISS principle
- Have a sense for identifying, exploiting and elevating bottlenecks
- Are not afraid of expressing yourself in English. We aren't expecting you to have the Queen's accent, but you'll be part of an international team and we communicate in English, so you should be comfortable with that
- Enjoy herding cats and shaving yaks. Ie, being a great influence to other product teams and teaching them best practices. As well as analyzing and simplifying our setup
- Migrate our production workloads to Kubernetes on different cloud providers smoothly and transparently to the end users
- Helping us iterate on and improve our kubernetes setup (AWS EKS)
- Iterate our networking layer to implement network policies, service mesh, and more…
- Evolving our time-series monitoring platform (Cortex), in order to provide a first-class service to all of our engineering teams
- Help grow our adoption of distributed tracing (OTLP + Tempo), with the goal of providing request latency observability across microservices (as a service)
- Scaling our ever-growing logging platform (Loki) to keep up with the business demands
- Maintaining our company-wide code repository and continuous integration solution

- Defining SLIs, SLOs and SLAs as part of the services' lifecycle
- Sharing an on-call schedule for the platform services you own

Our take
In the pursuit of global sustainability, the desire for more efficient urban practices has gained momentum. The prevalence of traffic congestion worldwide not only disrupts travel but also exacerbates the climate crisis due to the overwhelming number of vehicles on the road. Cabify introduces the concept of 'mobility as a service' (MaaS), prioritising both ecological integrity and community welfare.
Cabify serves as a bridge between individuals and businesses, offering customised transportation solutions to cater to diverse needs. The platform extends flexible payment alternatives, enabling users to opt for per-journey or monthly billing. What sets Cabify apart is not only its expansive presence across 40+ cities and a workforce of over 1,000 employees but also its commitment to fostering self-employment opportunities for numerous driver partners, thereby supporting local talents and economies.
Recent developments highlight Cabify's steadfast trajectory. Recent capital infusion provides the company with the means for the expansion of operations, reinforcement of technological infrastructure, and the procurement of 1,400 electric vehicles in alignment with its sustainable agenda. Moreover, Cabify's financial report reflects a surge in annual gross revenue and profit.
