ENGINEERING AT ITS GREATEST

The Beat Amsterdam Engineering Hub is designed to function as a model tech hive where innovation thrives and results are driven by the eagerness of people to shine.

Operating in a challenging industry at the edge of innovation, we are determined to build a tech hub, mainly focused - yet not limited - to Machine Learning-enabled Microservices.

We’re on track to build the next generation stack for backend automation that will make our two-sided marketplace more efficient.

ENGINEERING IS AT THE VERY CORE OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Stefanos Platonis, Lead Backend Engineer

Given our continuous scaling and adoption of a microservices architecture, I recently worked on some very challenging projects.

We implemented a Go microservice that consumes real-time driver positions from Kafka to detect possible deviation from an expected route using an ML algorithm. We also replaced core parts of our legacy platform with a family of microservices in order to enrich our vehicle and driver models and to expose more sophisticated APIs which address the more complex logic.

Athina Miliou, Lead Backend Engineer

Microservices is a whole new world. And we conquer it with excitement.

Moving from an inherited mega-service, that handled several money-related operations, to the world of microservices required a major redesign of it into smaller ones. Αt the same time, we had to ramp them up according to our latest standards and the guidelines we have set for a production-grade microservice. We introduced metrics with Prometheus, tracing based on the OpenTracing protocol and, of course, logging. Asynchronous communication via RabbitMQ was also re-thought and redesigned to improve semantics and the handling of error cases.

Ilias Antoniou, Lead Data Engineer

Working as a Data Engineer at Beat could not be more interesting.

Beat provides the freedom to explore and evaluate emerging technologies in such a rapidly evolving field; from applying anomaly detection techniques to streams of events, combining and analysing data from different sources, storing and querying them efficiently, to using functional programming techniques to abstract over batch and streaming pipelines. In my day to day work, I design and develop the data pipelines used for realtime data analytics and unlock the potential of applying learning algorithms to enhance our product.

WE ARE PROUD OF OUR BEAT CULTURE

Being part of the team means enjoying autonomy in your work while pursuing a common purpose. We are a team committed to innovation and the advances technology offers.

Following Agile methodologies, we build, coach and work in cross-functional, self-organised teams that receive all the needed support to succeed.

We deliver high quality software very frequently and with sustainable pace through continuous attention to technical excellence and good design. You are free to express your opinion here, and productive debate is a principle we strongly encourage across all teams.

Discover the Beat Culture

The Beat Amsterdam Engineering Hub is located in the heart of Amsterdam.

Housed in Fabric, a high-end office space, we form a significant part of the city’s dynamic tech ecosystem and open up countless possibilities for enriching your knowledge and creating strong professional networking.

Join a high-profile venture of international allure, where inspiration meets determination to be among the best.
