Job Description

We believe in a world where all cars are shared. Carsharing empowers people to get going in a smarter, easier way, while also having a positive impact on the environment and making cities more liveable. It’s this vision that propels us forward and inspires us to think even bigger.

Getaround is the world's leading carsharing platform with a community of more than 5 million users sharing thousands of car in more than 300 cities in the U.S and Europe.

Our team is collaborative, positive, curious, and engaged. We think fast, work smart, laugh often, and are looking for like-minded people to join us in our mission to disrupt car ownership and make cities better.


Your mission:
* The product & engineering team is getting close to 50 people in Europe, but we have a lot of positions open and we will grow a lot more this year. To scale effectively, we organize ourselves in squads with people coming from various departments like engineering, data, design, and product.

Getaround is a marketplace collecting Millions of euros per month on behalf of our owners, drivers and insurance partners. The finance squad has 2 main missions:

* Fulfill Getaround's financial obligations and build a scalable and easy-to-use accounting system.
* Empower other squads with easy to use abstractions to grow our business.

What you’ll work on:
* In practical terms, your work will be very diverse and will span all over the codebase, you can have a look at this blog entry where Nicolas explains what his job is like (getaround.tech/what-is-my-job-like-as-backend-dev-in-the-finance-squad)  in the finance squad:

* Define and implement long term changes to support growth and product iterations, like going from only supporting one time payments to subscriptions, supporting different payment methods or adding pre-authorization for risky behaviors.
* Shape our codebase to gracefully handle regulatory challenges, like the PCI-DSS (pcisecuritystandards.org/pci_security/standards_overview)  compliance or the recently released PSD2 (europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-17-4961_en.htm)  aiming at securing online payments with two-factor authentication.
* Produce automated reporting for the finance department to use. Seems boring, isn't it? Actually the needs of a finance department are driving a lot of fun constraints to play with; continually increasing volumes, consistency, reliability, and precision (to the last penny!).
* Supporting other squads; Most squads need at some point something from the finance squad. It could be some assistance for a given task, or it could be a feature that isn't yet supported and that we'll need to add to the components we own.
* Develop the vision of the squad using continuous refactoring to build a more decoupled architecture and simple-to-use abstractions to be used by other developers.

Who you’ll work with:
* You'll be working with David (linkedin.com/in/dbourguignon)  and Nicolas (linkedin.com/in/nicolaszermati) , Backend Engineers, and Marine (linkedin.com/in/marinechavanne) , product owner of the squad, but will be in contact with all the other squads when needed.
