What we do
We connect airline rostering systems to Get-e platforms such as transportation, hotel and flights. Every airline speaks a different dialect and we turn all of it into one clean stream of booking requirements the rest of the platform can act on. That platform is a hybrid ecosystem of monoliths and microservices running on Kubernetes in AWS.

-
An MVP mindset, you build, you ship out, you collect feedback and make it better.

Ability to plan ahead just enough before going down the rabbit hole of painting the full picture.

You know your way around working effectively within a team, but have the ability to work independently on large scale (high availability) SaaS products with zero-downtime.

3-5 years experience with PHP and/or Java (proficient in one, genuinely hands-on with the other, and happy to work across both)

What we’re not looking for
This role is not a good fit for you if:

You want to build the most technically perfect solution, regardless of its business value.
-
You lean more toward technology itself than the business impact it creates.
-
You follow dogma and “the playbook,” believing that this automatically leads to the best outcome.

You follow the Boy Scout rule and you spend noticeable time on refactoring the codebase to make it better while it adds no outstanding business value.
-
You expect a 100% clear Jira ticket with full description to start development.
-
You avoid conflict or keep postponing decisions until you have complete certainty.
-
You expect a fully planned sprint with no surprises or change of plans in the middle of the sprint.
