We are on a mission to make travel better and we aim to build a “virtual global supercarrier”.

How do we want to make travel better?

  • Door-to-door transportation anywhere in the world

  • Aggregating all the global carriers (air, ground, sea, city micro-mobility)

  • All-in-one solution for all travel-related needs

  • Seamless and enjoyable travel experience with all connections guaranteed

To achieve that, we are looking for senior developers who help us to make things happen.

 

What can be your main responsibility?

  • Optimization of search results

  • Integration of new payment processing methods

  • Improvements of our flight ticket booking API

  • Cooperation with our partners on new API integrations

  • Creation of internal tools, to be used by hundreds of Kiwi.com employees to increase productivity

  • As a valued member of our team, you would be allowed to use the language/environment of your choice for new projects, and you would have Infrastructure team available, to avoid having to handle hundreds of servers – or you can ship a serverless AWS Lambda architecture.

What do we expect?

  • Proficiency in Python, C++, Go or another similar language

  • Knowledge of MySQL + PostgreSQL

  • Motivation to learn new stuff, if we decide current tech stack is not suitable for us anymore, we will just move to something else and we will all have to learn how to tackle it

  • Reliability and independence, ownership of your tasks from the beginning to production release

  • A passion in what you are doing with your life

  • Dedication to work sometimes odd or extended hours

Why it rocks to be at Kiwi.com:

  • We deploy immediately after a job is completed, not after months of QA.

  • Do, fail, learn – repeat! We understand that mistakes happen and we learn fast.

  • We decide which cutting-edge technologies are appropriate for the task.

  • We love contributing and using Open Source.

  • We visit and speak at conferences and technological events worldwide.

  • We code at hackathons and other competitions.

  • We support the local technological community.

  • We use our work time wisely with a friendly vacation policy and work schedule.

  • We also like to party and hang out together.

  • We work, play, relax, workout and even nap in our offices (canteen, chillout zones, free refreshments, etc).

  • Dogs, kids and parties are welcome in our offices.

  • We also enjoy common benefits, such as meal vouchers, flexible benefits scheme, sick days, VIP Medical Care, flight vouchers, multisport card, etc..

  • Besides a fair salary, we can also look forward to quarterly bonuses dependent on our performance.
