Confirmed Front-End Engineer – Door to Door

About BlaBlaCar

BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading community-based travel app enabling 27 million members a year to carpool or travel by bus in 21 countries. Our team of 800 employees counts over 50 nationalities and is spread across our 5 global offices, 30% working fully remotely.

Your mission

We are seeking our first Front-End Web Engineer to join the Door to Door team. This pivotal role will directly contribute to one of BlaBlaCar’s key strategic initiatives. The ideal candidate will possess the ability to rapidly iterate while also considering future system scalability.

Team Autonomy and Impact

Our team operates with a high degree of autonomy, fostering an experimental environment within BlaBlaCar’s technical stack. You will contribute to various external scopes, including enhancing both passenger and driver experiences, while maintaining strong ownership of our core domain as a standalone supply. As a Frontend Web Engineer, you will be part of the BlaBlaCar’s Front-End Web Engineering Chapter, its community and contribute to the web applications platform skelethon.

Why Join Us?

This is a unique opportunity to be a core contributor to the future of carpooling. Our mission is to develop a new “door-to-door” experience within the BlaBlaCar product, offering the convenience of car ownership without the burden. We aim to expand our passenger and driver base by providing a richer and more diverse offering, potentially reaching individuals who currently don’t consider carpooling. This initiative is crucial for the continued global growth of carpooling and for achieving our #zeroemptyseats mission.
