Company mission
Omio's mission is to bring together more than 1,000 transportation providers across trains, buses, flights, ferries, cars, and airport transfers to make it easier for travellers to focus on what really matters: the journey.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an enthusiastic software engineer focused on incremental architecture and TDD who has already built a few micro-services and knows what it takes to deploy and run them confidently in a production environment
- Customer-focused: You have a passion for building performant and scalable products that cater to the needs of customers, internal and external
- A team player: You help your teammates with planning and delivering high-quality software and are not afraid to talk to people in your team and outside to clarify information and make agreements. You learn from the best around you
- You love learning: You worked at least three years with production systems in a high volume/availability environment. You are constantly learning to design software systems and understand how architectures evolve. Practical experience with Java and a subset of the following is required: Spring, Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud, and a NoSQL database
- An Automator: You strive to remove repetition and snowflakes through scripting and automation tools. You understand and value a balanced test pyramid, always favoring automated tests and TDD. You have deployed, monitored, and supported applications in production environments
- Up to code: You have experience in software development; you write clean, effective code, all tested and version controlled. You pick the right tool for the job, and your mindset is not limited to a single paradigm or language. You know how to write tests and validate that your code does what it should
- Pragmatic: You can take on complex multi-domain problems, analyze, design, build modular solutions, and deliver end-to-end in an MVP, value-first and iterative approach. You know that sometimes you need to cut corners and can foresee and share its risks
What the job involves
- In the Pricing & Premium Team, you will help us evolve our cloud platforms by abstracting complexity around customer behaviours and building reliable pricing and premium features
- We want customers to travel efficiently and with peace of mind
- In addition, you will contribute to our internal risk-management system, improve our business rule engine capabilities, and experiment a lot
- Our ambition is to disrupt the way our business profits with a customer-centric mindset
- Design, build and improve scalable systems that connect to many other services & data sources inside and outside of Omio
- Work with your team to rapidly validate ideas, use results for iterations and improve our product
- Operate and maintain critical core systems, owning reliability, performance, and availability
- Write code that is simple to understand, extend, and test
- Apply your engineering experience to automate processes and maintenance
- Collaborate with other teams on solutions for challenging and exciting problems
- Help all engineers grow in their journeys through empathetic feedback, Peer-reviews, and pair programming
- Be hands-on with our diverse technology stack and have an opportunity to participate in defining and developing internal standards and shared components
- Examples of the technologies we currently use, and you might be working with include (but are by no means limited to): Java, Spring, Spring Boot, JUnit, Couchbase, Docker, Kubernetes, Graphite, Grafana, Kibana, and GraphQL
Our take
The internet has made traveling extremely easy in comparison to the past, with information on most public transport methods and routes being available online. Despite this abundance of information, complex trips often require research and fare comparison across many different websites, a process that calls for a more integrated solution.
Omio provides a universal travel comparison tool for trains, buses, flights, ferries, and airport transfers across over 1,000 worldwide travel partners. Whilst there are many existing comparison platforms for specific transport methods such as Skyscanner for flights and TheTrainLine for buses, Omio has taken a unique approach by providing information on all major public transport methods within an integrated app. Furthermore, the company’s inspiration magazine The Window Seat and mobile application contribute towards an end-to-end travel assistant that stands out from competitors.
Not too long ago, the company raised series E funding that is being put towards reviving global expansion activities that had temporarily been put on hold, including through strategic mergers and acquisitions. Whilst it has re-approached earlier expansion plans, the company is doing so with greater discipline.
