Back End (Java) Developer

We’re looking for server-side developers to work in our highly successful JustRide team.

Masabi is the world’s leading provider of mobile ticketing solutions for the transport industry, allowing customers to buy and display tickets on their smartphone. Our JustRide mTicket applications mean that waiting in line for tickets is a thing of the past for customers whilst agencies are able to drastically reduce the cost of their operations. Our first major client was Boston in 2012. In 2014 we rolled out mobile ticketing to and Athens and this year we’re doing the same in New York as well as other major global cities.

The JustRide server platform drives a dynamic graphical back-office UI, supports our mobile applications, provides secure web ticketing sales and will also be doing some fairly involved fraud analysis, related analytics and number crunching. It handles multiple thousands of payment transactions a day and over $50 million in revenue went through the platform in 2015 – a figure which will likely double in 2016.

The Role

The role involves working within a highly collaborative cross-functional team of server and client developers, QAs and Product Managers, building and maintaining the server side component of a cloud-hosted, multi-tenancy transport ticket sales service.
