Indie campers is on a mission to bring the best travelling experiences to the consumer  :D 

About: Indie Campers started in 2013 with only 3 vans for rent in Portugal and currently has a fleet of +2000 vans with a presence in 51 cities, in 14 countries, and on 2 continents (EU & US). The goal is to consolidate their presence in the US and expand to other countries and continents and be the world's #1 marketplace for road trips. 

To guarantee the high performance of all the algorithms that manage the business's logistics, they must keep our development in the most advanced technologies to overcome the challenges they will face.

The Indie Campers Technology Team is responsible for developing all the products used by Travellers, Hosts, Sellers, and tools for their Indie Colleagues.

They work with AWS, and our monolith tech-stack is constituted by Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Vue.js + Nuxt, and Postgres database (and more). 

On the backend, due to their fast growth, they moved to microservices and transitioned from Ruby to Node.js!

On the front-end, they are on the way to changing their stack to React + Next.

 

They are scaling their tech team by onboarding people who embrace their core values:

  • Be Customer First - they have to provide the best service at the best price to all customers.
  • Be Humble - they all still have to prove themselves to the world.
  • Be Bold - if they don't make things differently, the world will not change. Be aware of the risks, but not afraid to fail.
  • Be Tech-Driven - how can you solve problems with technology and automated tools?
  • Be Results-Oriented - Attitude and hard work can take you all the way.
  • Be Entrepreneur - be more innovative than your competition
  • Be Frugal - is there a more straightforward and quick way to do it?

If you recognize yourself in these values, you will find a multicultural, informal environment that is challenging and appealing and that will give you fast-growing opportunities.
