Passenger Team @Heetch The top priority of our user-centric team is the happiness of our passengers. From the moment they decide to join us until they enter our marketplace, passengers will be using our products. And our mission is to make sure they get the stellar experience they deserve. The scope of the team includes passenger acquisition, to ensure that passengers can signup smoothly in a few seconds, and passenger account, to provide a wonderful lifecycle experience to our passengers and help them oversee their passenger account between 2 rides. Given our business scope, our team is working side-by-side with other Product teams and partners (Operations and Marketing teams), allowing us to build features that will empower passengers with new ways to ride.
Mindset Move fast not furious. Don’t be scared of failure, learn from it and try again. Unit and functional tests are as important as code. Code is always evolving we do not think in versions. We’re not just here to push code, product ownerships equally spread amongst the team.
Our team’s values Work wherever you want: We’ve always been remote first but also have shiny offices in Paris, London, Brussels and Casablanca. Open communication: Everything is public within the team. You are not alone: We use Slack and video calls every day. Promulgate Knowledge: Whether it’s organizational, cultural or technical, we’re eager to learn! Continuous improvement: We do weekly team retrospective and have a strong Speak Up value.
