About us

Our HQ is in Madrid and we currently operate in 38 cities across 12 countries in Latin America and Europe. Unlike some of our other competitors, we make sure that we work closely with governments to ensure that we always operate legally and comply fully with government regulations. It is important for us that everyone who is part of Cabify, from our engineers to our drivers are treated with the utmost respect.

We pride ourselves on being a user first business and our product team is the heart and soul of our business. Right now 80% of our engineers are based in Madrid, and the rest work either remotely or from our Barcelona office. Our engineers tend to have a background in either Ruby, Elixir, Go or Python but we don’t mind if you haven’t got previous experience in any of these languages, as long as you are able to adapt quickly to work in one of these languages.

The team that you are assigned to will depend on your areas of interest and the language you prefer to work in, for example, our Real Time team works in Go whereas our Rider and Driver teams work in either Elixir or Ruby. As an engineer at Cabify you will not only have the opportunity to test out your ideas but also learn from some of the brightest minds in the industry. In general you will be expected to work closely with our product managers or research team to understand our problems areas and where we can improve and then deliver world class solutions to address them.

If you identify as an innovator, or think you have a natural talent for creating awesome systems, products, features and/or frameworks then we would love to have you on our team.
