We are looking for a programmer with the skills and initiative to continue developing the technical platform that handles our bookings, in order to maintain our position as the most technically advanced companyin the yachting business. 70% of the time is dedicated to develop the platform and improve it with new features, 30% relates to other general sysadmin and tech problems! We look for the best, driven person to team up and directly assume responsability for our IT!

The platform we have today handles the administration of bookings and payments, and syncs yacht availability with our partners. Bookings are made directly on our site, and customer can log in to their accounts to administrate their crew list, order transfer and check payment status. For an added social experience, bookings and crew lists can be connected to the Facebook accounts of our customers. The entire platform is written in Perl with data stored in a MySQL database. It has been in use and continuously developed since The Yacht Week started. During a transition period, part of your job will be to maintain and improve this system with additional features.

In the near future we are planning to develop a completely new system, based on our current experience and adapted for our business as it looks today. This will be your big project. As lead developer your job will be to plan and implement the development of our new platform. Our CTO (who you may replace over time), has developed our current system, will assist and supervise you in this. We may plan to outsource part of the programming in this project, and you will be in charge of the outsourcing.

So, if you are a stellar programmer and think this could be something super exciting, feel free to reach out to us.

Location: London or Stockholm (our office w 4 employees is in London). It is possible to start w. 50% but we believe the engagement will increase over time. Salary shall increase but will start low/medium and some benefits including sailing will be a part of this!

Best
