React Job: Mid Level DevOps Engineer

The role in a nutshell

At CitySwift, we are building a world-class engineering team to digitally transform public transport in major cities around the world.

We want a Mid Level DevOps Engineer to join a rapidly growing team, solving interesting and complex technological problems with real-world solutions. You must love to code both personally and professionally, always keeping up to date with the latest technologies(Kotlin, Java, React.js, Google Cloud). You're also excited by and have the ambition to grow with the company as we scale up.

Today, we analyse billions of data points for a selection of the world's largest transport companies, shipping a product that constantly delivers for clients and exceeds expectations.

Our Development Ecosystem

• Google Cloud Platform
• BigQuery
• LookerML
• Dataflow
• Cloud Composer
• Cloud Functions
• Kotlin and Java
• Python
• Spring Boot
• ReactJS
• PostgreSQL

Experience with these technologies would be beneficial but you don't need to have worked with all of them to apply. As long as you have an understanding of programming fundamentals then this could be the position for you.

About The Team

Our engineers are enthusiastic, inclusive, team players. They empathise with the users' pain points and work together to solve tough problems. They also share supportive feedback to help each other grow and improve. Our engineers are the kind of people who are committed to helping others, and using tech for good. It's a friendly environment with regular tech talks, tech team coffee breaks and social clubs making it easier to connect with your colleagues.
