Job Description

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.
  • Don't mind coding when is needed
  • Believes in Just Enough Process, doesn't get bogged down in bug lists and tech debt. Has and transmits a sense of urgency
  • 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 work with POS from the 1930s and we have to work out how we will integrate it and make it awesome.
  • 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.

Benefits

What we offer:

  • We don't believe in providing competitive salaries. So we pay Top of Market for the right people. This is not to say we're competitive. We're not. We're just a bunch of smart people wanting to work with even smarter people.
  • A great working environment with a ping pong table, bar (serving beer/cider) and breakout areas.
  • Personal learning and development budget.
  • Working in a fast growing company with global expansion plans.
  • Flexible working hours and a work from home policy.
  • Personal MacBook Pro (to setup the way you work best)
  • Regular office events including weekly yoga and other sports.
  • Cycle to work scheme – www.cyclescheme.co.uk.
