You will join our fine crew of mobile web developers and become part of BlaBlaCar’s Tech team. We are organized in several small and efficient scrum teams, improving our platform in many iterations. “Done is better than perfect” is one of our slogans: understanding this and being capable of integrating yourself within a demanding environment of equally skilled developers will be key to your success within the team.

Some details about the role :

  • Our mobile applications are based on a REST API and Oauth2. You will work on the client and server-side of the project using the latest technical solutions, such as Symfony2, ElasticSearch, Rabbitmq and Redis;
