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 in at least 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
What the job involves
- Our Product & Engineering teams are both based in Madrid, with a strong remote culture, and include an eclectic bunch of awesome people from different backgrounds like Ruby, Go, Elixir, Javascript, and Python
- Right now we’re working on some pretty greenfield projects with a solid set of product ideas lined up ready for innovative engineers to tackle. And of course we have big plans to take over the taxi app service industry!
- Site Reliability Engineers at Cabify work on improving all aspects of our platform and have an impact across the whole organisation. They are a blend of systems engineers and software developers who solve scalability issues with software and implement the best production engineering and security practices
- Evolving our infrastructure platform building self-service components that will be used by all the engineering team and by millions of users around the world
- Working closely with our Product and Infrastructure teams to architecture and develop world-class infrastructure components
- Designing and implementing tooling to improve the availability, scalability, observability and latency of our services, which are used by internal customers to deploy and operate their services
- Increasing reliability awareness with other teams, helping with the adoption of reliability principles and reviewing observability implementations or software architectures
- Defining SLIs, SLOs and SLAs as part of the services' lifecycle
- Sharing an on-call schedule for the platform services you own
- Solving problems in our highly available platform together with other teams, then build automations to prevent incidents from happening again
- Participating in our recruiting process to help grow our engineering team
- Projects you could work on:
- Helping us iterate on and improve our Kubernetes setup (AWS EKS) and surrounding infrastructure (i.e. secrets, container images and repositories) using Terraform
- Iterate our networking layer to implement network policies, service mesh, and more…
- Evolving our observability platform (Grafana stack and Cortex), in order to provide a first-class service to all of our engineering teams
- Operating and improving the persistence layer (SLQ and no-SQL DBs)
- Maintaining our company-wide code repository and continuous integration solution (GitLab)
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 but also its commitment to fostering self-employment opportunities for numerous driver partners, thereby supporting local talents and economies.
A substantial amount of investment has provided the company with the means to expand operations, reinforce technological infrastructure and procure electric vehicles in alignment with its sustainable agenda. Its revenue continues to grow, as the company accelerates its roadmap at the same time as eyeing up a potential IPO.
