At Flyt, we
believe that the way venues (serving food & drinks) acquire
customers is perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists. Users
have moved on to apps on their phones, home delivery services, and will
soon tap into some real crazy possibilities with technology. The good
folks at Venues know it's absolutely possible to get customers this way,
but installing tech and using it takes months, if not years to get
setup and running. And, that's not what they do. It's broken. We must
fix it.
We are building - what we call - "The Hub",
a universal integration platform for the hospitality industry, that
seamlessly connects venues serving food and drinks to the 1000s of apps
that customers love, all through One Universal Award Winning API. From
that, we will build the second act of our vision - a marketplace - where
services and venues get to work together, in minutes not months, so
installing technology is made easy. So they both get more customers.
We
work with leading hospitality operators and consumer platforms
including Nando’s, Mitchells and Butlers, PizzaExpress, Just Eat, Uber
Eats, Facebook and more to enable solutions in thousands of venues
across the UK (and soon, the US).
How you can contribute
We want you to build a Engineering team that everyone feel proud to be a part of.
Requirements
What will make you a great fit.
- You will be leading our business to the next stage of growth.
- You have experience working with high traffic APIs and expanding the operations internationally
- Good knowledge of PHP and Node.js
- Very strong architectural experience.

- Has worked with XFN teams.
- A people person: can lead and build a team, coach others.
- You
love working with difficult things and making them sing. Sometimes we

- Can break the rules.
Our tech stack:
Our
current PHP application powers both our API and POS integration layers
and, at the moment, makes up the majority of our development effort.
Recently we have introduced some Golang and NodeJS services as we break
this monolithic API into slimmer micro services. We don't require that
you're a PHP ninja, but you must be willing to pick up code written in
that programming language (or at the very least, be willing to learn).
Other
recent projects we've run have included: modelling POS communication
using a stream of events using AWS Kinesis and Node JS Serverless Lambda
Functions, a migration from AWS EC2 to Kubernetes and site reliability
work to ensure we can scale our flagship products inline with our
current growth.
