Summary

What we do

DriverSelect is an online market place where Uber driver-partners rent vehicles from vehicle owners. This is a dramatic shift from the previous model where drivers were employed and paid by vehicle owners. Through DriverSelect driver-partners are empowered to run their own business.

We work closely with Uber to make this possible.

Why Work For Us

You should consider working with us if this sounds appealing:

  • Work at one of the first companies worldwide to have unrestricted access to Uber's API.
  • Help scale processes to manage and analyse a growing database of driver data.
  • Automate complex processes.
  • Build a full featured online marketplace.
  • Work in a startup environment, with broad responsibilities and constant learning opportunities.
  • Work with a team of smart driven individuals.
  • Work remotely (in Cape Town).
  • Be part of a community of start up businesses.
  • Equity options.

Our Culture

Our vision is build a healthy ecosystem where drivers are empowered and vehicle owners can build sustainable businesses.

We are a small close knit team who rely on each other in a dynamic environment. Each member needs to be responsible, self-motivated and pro-active.

Our Engineering Processes

We like simple elegant solutions that last. We are a primarily PHP based, but we believe in using the right tool for the job. We love Domain Driven Design.

  • PHP 7.1
  • Laravel 5.3
  • Debian Linux servers (hosted on Digital Ocean)

Our Hiring Process

In such a small team each person needs to fill a large role, and so finding the best person to fit each role is vital.

The process starts with a face to face interview with our CTO. Where we will discuss your background and experience and try to find out if we would be a good fit.

If the interview goes well there will be a programming project which you can complete at home, followed by a discussion of the project.
