Join us as a Scala Software Engineer (m/f/d) in our Trip Management team on a shared journey that matters!
You will join a group of kind, funny, and passionate individuals in the MOIA Trip Management team. We’re the team behind the lifecycle of a trip, from the moment a customer requests an offer to the successful completion of their ride. Our software orchestrates all services needed to create and manage trips, making trip-related data and operations available through MOIA’s Ridepooling API. If it involves a trip, it involves us.
We take care of features with high customer impact, ensuring our Ridepooling service runs smoothly across multiple cities. You’ll work on distributed systems, real-time event processing, and a reliable cloud infrastructure, with full ownership of the systems you build and operate.
What you will do
- Develop and Optimize APIs: Work on our gRPC-based Ride-pooling API, enabling seamless trip processing and customer interactions across multiple service areas.
- Manage Trip Requests & Orders: Implement and enhance systems that handle the creation, validation, and fulfillment of trip orders across multiple service areas.
- Real-Time Event Processing: Contribute to our event-sourced architecture by publishing and reacting to real-time trip updates to keep operations timely and accurate.
- Stop Resolution & Pathfinding: Use OpenStreetMap data and Pekko Actors to deliver efficient routing and stop resolution logic for ridepooling.
- Cloud Infrastructure & Deployment: Build and maintain AWS-based infrastructure, following our “you build it, you run it” approach to ensure smooth, scalable, and resilient deployments.
- Automation & Monitoring: Improve our CI/CD pipelines and monitoring setup using tools like OpenSearch, Grafana, and Jaeger to keep our services observable and reliable.
- Write Robust, High-Quality Code: Develop scalable services with a strong emphasis on code quality, maintainability, and comprehensive testing.
- Test at all levels: Contribute to a culture of quality by writing unit, integration, blackbox, and end-to-end tests to ensure system reliability.
What will help you to fulfill your role
- Backend Engineering Skills: Experience with Scala and frameworks like ZIO and Akka/Pekko (Actors, Streams, HTTP, Clustering).
- Cloud & DevOps Familiarity: Hands-on experience with AWS, Kubernetes, CDK, and CI/CD practices.
- Experience with Distributed Systems: Understanding of event-driven architectures, gRPC, protobufs, and reactive systems.
- Testing Mindset: Experience writing and maintaining various test types and a focus on building systems that are easy to monitor and maintain.
- Data-Driven Approach: Familiarity with tools like OpenSearch/Kibana, Grafana, and Prometheus to understand and optimize system performance.
- Team Player: Collaborative and communicative team player with a proactive approach to knowledge sharing and peer mentorship.
- Pragmatic mindset: Hands-on mindset of finding pragmatic solutions within a complex ecosystem, balancing simplicity and necessary complexity, avoiding overengineering while solving real problems.
We encourage you to apply even if your profile does not meet all the requirements for the role since we are looking for a diverse range of experiences, skills, and interests. We are certain that there will be something for everyone because we are working on such a variety of tasks and embrace individual growth at MOIA.
