Citymapper engineers come from
diverse backgrounds: startup founders, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and
even those that have never worked anywhere before. Some come with
letters after their name like “PhD” or from backgrounds in things like
astrophysics. In our small team, we represent more than a dozen
countries and languages. What unites us in an intense desire to create
the best products, data and tools to help people move around complex
cities. We breathe, eat, sleep, and dream mobility and cities from the
algorithms to the data to the tools that make the tools.
We need
great engineers who are up to the challenge of making cities usable.
There are features to ship, hard problems to solve, and scaling
challenges to meet. The fruit is hanging low for smart, motivated
people.
We're currently hiring across many teams and experience
levels. If you believe in what Citymapper is doing — if you're ready to
build new kinds of navigation tools for the world's biggest, messiest
cities — give us a shout.
We have roles in the following areas:
- Backend & internal APIs
- Routing systems and algorithms
- Full-stack web engineers
- Site reliability / Operations
- Security
- Tools and toolchains
- Data pipelines
Requirements
Citymapper
engineers drive things forward and get things done. Our engineers build
features today that users will use tomorrow. You must be ready to
firefight against scaling challenges in real time. You must not waiver
in the face of highly complex mishmashes of data that need untangling.
Citymapper
engineers work across multiple stacks and handle many projects
simultaneously. We deliver features and system-wide improvements on a
daily basis. To be successful here, you must be able to write scalable,
performant code and be on-deck to deploy and monitor your creations. You
will help build the train, lay the tracks, and be the conductor.
Our
primary languages are Python, Objective C/Swift, Java, Go, and C++.
You'll be expected to dive into new code and make sense of what you
find. You'll be expected to adopt best practices and uphold a high
standard of quality to keep us afloat.
