Lana is a new project born out of
Cabify's and Maxi Mobility's New Business department. The aim is to
create an alternative banking platform optimised to empower "gig
economy" workers to get paid more quickly, reliably, for saving and
making payments. Lana is a small, dedicated, and
highly skilled team focussed on building an awesome product with the
potential to grow into a company that changes the lives of millions of
people in Latin America who don't currently have access to electronic
banking.
The New Business department and Lana are
very closely joined with Cabify and Easy Taxi teams with the aim of
adding value and investigating business areas that are directly or
indirectly related to the core products.
If we’re going to turn our vision into a reality, we’re going to need plenty more bright, ambitious people to join us!
About the position:
As a senior engineer in the Lana Core Team, you will be working to
solve complex problems in the services that empower the rest of the
company to run. You'll be actively working with the CTO and other areas
of the business so you can determine the direction development should
move in.
Lana strives for a modular working environment where each module
determines its own development pipeline, according to the general
direction of the company and requirements of the customers.
Our current backend tech stack for this project consists of:
- Go
- Docker + Kubernetes
- CouchDB
- CockroachDB
We are looking for someone with previous experience working with Go
(desirable), however if not we are still happy to consider your
application. We believe that even if you have worked in Java or C# all
your life you can still pick up Go pretty quickly. For us it is more
important to have someone who is adaptable and can pick up languages
quickly.
Security is a major concern for this project, so decisions on how
best to isolate, restrict, and monitor access to services and solutions
will be a big challenge.
What we’re looking for:
We’re searching for engineers with a solid understanding of how to
deal with building secure, reliable, and scaleable solutions. Your
objective will be to build upon the existing core services to ensure
that the other areas of the company can also develop solutions in their
problem domains.
This is a hands-on role in a new project within the group, so it's a
great opportunity to make your mark from the very beginning. Your
decisions will affect how the company moves in the future.
We'll be looking for most of the following in your profile:
- Strong educational background, e.g Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent
- Ability to communicate with the team in English (written and spoken)
- Unix/Linux systems knowledge
- A background in security and a deep understanding of the potential risks.
- Fintech, Payments, and PCI experience very highly valued.
- Real-time distributed systems deployment.
- A preference for simple system architectures and micro-services, including experience in technologies like Docker.
- Advanced networking knowledge.
- Ability to work autonomously in an unstructured environment.
- Passion for writing simple, clean and efficient code and/or solutions.
- Comfortable with complex git/github workflows (submodules, branches, forks, pull requests, merging, rebasing)
The good stuff:
As part of the Maxi Mobility group, which includes Cabify, we’re a
company full of happy, motivated people and we never want that to
change. Here are some more reasons why it rocks to be part of our
family.
- Flexible work environment & hours
- Regular fun team events
- Cabify staff discount
- Personal development programmes
- All the gear you need - just bring yourself.
