This is a London-based role. If you are not currently working in the UK,
please confirm in your application that you do have the right to work in the
UK. At Tab we've built a payments platform for independent tourism businesses
off the beaten track, capable of handling thousands of payments an hour across
100 currencies, in real-time, with near-zero downtime — backed by Python +
FastAPI + Postgres. We're also building a direct-booking platform and
traveller-focused discovery platform in Svelte + Django, with over 100,000
tourism businesses listed so far. We are now operating profitably and
sustainably, after successfully weathering the travel slump during COVID. That
means we’re ready to build up the team as we continue to grow revenue. Some of
the challenges which excite us: scaling our payments platform to handle 10x
more payments per day whilst maintaining checks-and-balances: we're * thinking
about concurrent-systems, next-gen payment gateways, dynamic scaling, TDD
iterating on our direct booking and discovery platform with an ambitious plan
to support 200,000+ businesses and millions of travellers: we're thinking
about speed, security, edge-computing continuously improving how we work and
dev, as the team and challenges grow We move fast, so you'll start having a
meaningful impact on the business in your first week as we execute our
