At Donkey Republic we believe that sustainable mobility should be available to everyone. We do this by providing an affordable bike rental service across Europe in more than 70 cities. We work closely with cities and lawmakers to help transform cities into more liveable places.
What your job will be
Donkey Republic builds a wide range of software. You will join the product team which builds the software facing our riders (app and backend) as well as the fleet management and SaaS-platform mainly used by partners running a bike-share and corporates that offer their employees bikes for work.
You will head a small team of a few more developers to propel our fleet management and corporate platform to the next level. In practice you will coorporate with our existing skilled team of developers who are already in the product team.
Your tasks will include leading the new team as well as some aspects of product development and stakeholder management, but will also include frontend and backend tasks. The team is expected to be expanded in the future, so the leadership aspect of the role should be appealing to you.
Our software enables both Donkey Republic and a range of partners to run their bike fleets efficiently and we want to make sure that our platform stays competitive and world-class. You will take an equal part in solving all challenges big and small that we face.
Who you are
We expect you to have years of experience with building services using Ruby on Rails and some javascript framework. You should be self-driven enough to drive the development forward, while also caring about the overall performance of the team. You are an experienced developer that wants to do more than just code, but also have an impact on the product design.
We cherish virtues like code reviews, consistency, and code conventions and have a big setup of tools to help lint and test our code in any way.
Here we would usually write a technical stack that we would want you to have experience with, but the truth is that we want you to be well structured in your code, take responsibility for what you do, and want to constantly improve your already great coding skills. And most of all, we want you to be motivated by working in a social team with the ambition to do the best they can.
Here are some of the technologies we work with:
Ruby on rails
PostgreSQL
Vue.js
RSpec
Heroku
MQTT
And much more
What we offer
A creative spot in the team of an inspiring international startup. A job where achieving our vision is as important as creating a bright future for each team member.
We enjoy mindful risk-taking, experimenting with features, getting things done fast, and seeing the results of our daily work out there in the real world, where we ultimately help people move easier and explore better - on two wheels.
