Kiwi.com is an online travel agency that developed its own algorithm for finding flight tickets. Their mission is to move people from any A to any B anywhere in the world, affordably and conveniently. They are achieving this by creating virtual interlining, by combining flights, trains and buses, in their search.

Kiwi.com was founded in 2012 in Brno, the Czech Republic and today they’re called a young scale-up. They even got awarded by Forbes that they are the most successful Czech startup! Today, Kiwi.com is counting more than a thousand employees in their core offices and they have offices in Brno and Prague (the Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovakia), London (UK) and Barcelona (Spain).

We understand the codebase is always changing and therefore enforce clean code, code reviews, and automated testing. As we deploy multiple times per day, QA testing, real-time monitoring, and alerting is an inevitable part of our release process. We often refactor parts of code/product that are slowing development down but also focus on being able to deliver new features – to be innovative and deliver value to our customers. Within the team, we try to spread knowledge and collaboratively work on top priorities to avoid hero syndrome – preventing bus factor.
