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 to hear from creative and capable engineers who love solving problems.
Requirements
What will make you a great fit.
-
You love reading, learning and leveling-up on everything code and
software engineering related. You might not have several years of
commercial experience but if you share with us your personal projects
that will impress us, that is enough. You crave the rhythm of a startup
(shipping daily, several times a day). You are not put off by
challenging problems and are always hungry to learn more.
- You need to be curious, try new tech that makes your development skills better.
- You have the energy and excitement, and you are driven by finally finding and cracking an issue.
- You will work in an Agile environment, and we expect you to have know the basics of Agile, or at least a willingness to learn.
- You are working on being good at PHP, you know OOP, care about testing and can learn to be a superstar, at using a debugger.
- London, UK based.
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 microservices. 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

experience) is £25k - £40k.
