DevOps Engineer

We develop and provide a versatile ride-sharing service, offering a range of solutions from airport transfers to daily commute assistance. Our service extends to diverse use-cases including golf commuting, school runs, and even hospital visits.

To facilitate this growth, we are actively utilizing modern technologies such as AWS, Kubernetes, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Next.js, React Native, GraphQL, and MySQL in our development processes.
