Simply put, we aim at offering the
most playful ridesharing experience for party-goers, and the most
satisfying night out for drivers. Our app is the centerpiece of the
whole service, where drivers are able to get ride requests, where
passengers are able to request rides, and where everyone is able to get
in touch with us directly at anytime.
We don’t want to see our users open up
Heetch just because we can get them from point A to point B, we want
them to open the app because they feel like it was specifically built
for them. We want to build upon our core service everything that would
make every ride enjoyable. Whether it’s helping them put the music
passengers want to listen to, help drivers find the right spots to go to
and the right ride, give recommandations about places passengers would
want to go, and it’s all open for anyone to suggest.
OUR ENGINEERING VALUES
- Move smart: we are
data driven, and employ tools and best practices to ship code quickly
and safely (continuous integration, code review, automated testing,
etc).
- Distribute knowledge:
we want to scale our engineering team to a point where our
contributions do not stop at the company code base. We believe in the
Open Source culture and communication with the outside world.
- Leave code better than you found it: because we constantly raise the bar.
- Unity makes strength: moving people from A to B is not as easy as it sounds but, we always keep calm and support each other.
- Always improve: we value personal progress and want you to look back proudly on what you’ve done.
MOBILE AT HEETCH
Our app is one of the few mobile apps
that run in the foreground for up to seven hours straight on drivers
phones. This rather unique use case brings fun challenges with handling
the lifecycle of the app.
- Network and GPS management:
we need to provide accurate information and price suggestions to our
community. This means making sure every driver gets important
notifications in any network conditions, provide as accurate as possible
GPS localisation for the pricing and tracking.
- UI & UX: Ride
sharing apps are a really special case in app design. They all revolve
around a map and the conventional navigation patterns like list view and
navigation controls need heavy tweaking to make for a great user
experience.
- One way data flow and functional pattern:
we are passionate about software architecture. We’ve built the core of
our apps using Rx and want to push this forward in both the data and the
UI layers. Ideally, our team will grow big enough that we’ll be able to
push forward what doing mobile programming means and we’ll contribute
back to all those amazing open source projects we learned from.
