• Our innovative tech stack is a key part of how we can deliver a world class service at market beating prices. By intelligently matching customer’s jobs to driver’s availability, we can better use vans on the road. This smart allocation allows us to constantly lower prices for our customers, while ensuring our drivers get a fair slice of the pie – all the while cutting miles driven, reducing waste and emissions.
• But we’ve only just started! Over the next few years, we’ll be levelling up our platform, building tech which allows us to:
• Better understand the cost to fulfil jobs, allowing us to price more accurately for our customers.
• Build a deeper relationship with our drivers – becoming a key part of their workflow, and better understanding which jobs are a great fit for them and even explore new business opportunities.
• For example, buying and selling non-AnyVan jobs between drivers to help them best use their time.
• We’re an agile organisation – while most of our teams use scrum with two week sprints, we’re not prescriptive and encourage engineering and product managers to adapt processes to match their team.
• We strongly believe in delivering business value, and our senior engineers will regularly interact with stakeholders from all backgrounds and seniority.

The technologies we work with include;

• We’re a cloud-first organisation and use AWS
• Back end – Java – with Spring – and Python
• Front end – Javascript – using Vue.js
• We’re not against exploring other languages where appropriate, with other projects using TypeScript. And of course, no scale up would be complete without a legacy PHP stack we’re slowly migrating away from! Well, no-one’s perfect…
