We as FREE NOW are the biggest multi mobility platform across Europe offering a huge portfolio of mobility options like e-scooters, e-bikes, carsharing or mopeds built upon our roots in ride hailing like taxi and private hire vehicle services. We are looking for an ambitious and experienced Backend Developer to build great software for one of our customer facing Multi Mobility Teams.

As we love our planet, we believe in shared mobility and the freedom to move regardless of your income or your age. By reducing the need for your own car, maximizing the usage with shared rides and supporting the next-gen of electric vehicles, we believe we can play a major role to improve the way we move in cities and make them a better, more sustainable place.
