Rooted in a deep technological focus, our challenges are both exciting and demanding and require top talent and motivation to be successfully pursued. We are growing our team and looking for those interested in pursuing this dream with us and joining an ever-developing journey.

ROLE:

To guarantee the high performance of all the algorithms that manage the business's logistics, we must keep our development in the most advanced technologies to overcome the challenges we will face.

The Indie Campers Technology Team is responsible for developing all the products used by Travellers, Hosts, Sellers, and tools for our Indie Colleagues.

We work with AWS, and our monolith tech-stack is constituted by Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Vue.js + Nuxt, and Postgres database (and more).

On the backend, due to our fast growth, we are moving to an event-driven service architecture with a CQRS implementation and finding the best technology to fit each service.

On the front-end, we are on the way to changing our stack to React + Next.

We are scaling our tech team by onboarding people who embrace our core values:

• Be Customer First - we have to provide the best service at the best price to all customers.
• Be Humble - we all still have to prove ourselves to the world.
• Be Bold - if we don't make things differently, the world will not change. Be aware of the risks, but not afraid to fail.
• Be Tech-Driven - how can you solve problems with technology and automated tools?
• Be Results-Oriented - Attitude and hard work can take you all the way.
• Be Entrepreneur - be more innovative than your competition
• Be Frugal - is there a more straightforward and quick way to do it?

If you recognize yourself in these values, you will find a multicultural, informal environment that is challenging and appealing and that will give you fast-growing opportunities.
