About mytaxi
Design the future of mobility with us!
mytaxi is the evolution of the hail since 2009 - the free smartphone
app was the world's first taxi app that put people just two taps away
from a licensed taxi, and provides a direct connection between
passengers and drivers. We are today the leading e-hailing app in
Europe, available in over 70 cities within 11 countries. A mytaxi hail
is accepted around Europe every second from mytaxi’s network of over
120,000 drivers and more than ten million downloads. With more than 500
employees mytaxi spans across Germany, UK, Ireland, Italy, Greece,
Poland, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Romania, Peru and Chile.
Since September 2014, mytaxi has been a subsidiary of the Daimler
Mobility Services GmbH (part of the Daimler Group). After the merger
with Hailo in July 2016 and the acquisitions of the leading taxi-app
providers from Greece (Beat) and Romania (Clever), we're building
Europe's leading taxi app today whilst shaping a future that will see
new technologies and business models revolutionise urban mobility.
Join a fun, global team of top engineers and seasoned entrepreneurs
for the challenge of a lifetime. We strive to be passionate yet
practical, driven but focused and visionary but humble. Our employees
are routinely challenged to solve large-scale, highly complex technical
problems. As a new "family member" you will be stretched, but will learn
