Join Buster's Growing TeamBuster is about 30 people split between New York City and Chicago quickly growing an online platform for booking group transportation. We recently merged with another Chicago-based charter bus service company and need help transitioning human-based processes to the largest charter group transportation tech company. After that, there's no shortage of development needs and growth opportunities.
We enjoy the weird world of transportation, although we bet it's never occurred to you that you might get really excited about your new job in the charter industry.We have a sophisticated pricing and booking tool built and a big pool of quality vendors taking our bookings. We're in the midst of bringing a technology solution to an $11 billion industry that's basically offline without our platform.We have a small team of developers with lots of work to go around. As we grow, you'll, by default, find yourself as a leader in a multi-million dollar company.As a development team, we focus on serving our users, both customers and operators, and the rest of our company.
We order things along agile/scrum lines, with small adjustment based on personality preferences. For the most part, we ticket everything, prioritize as a team, and manage your time to get your prioritized work done.Our tech stack is Ruby on Rails, vanilla JS/jquery, and built on Heroku (although we're migrating to AWS). We have more backend experience than frontend and operate without a full-time designer.
