Buying a car should be fun, not complex
With a team of ambitious, international developers, AutoUncle has changed the game of how cars are bought and sold. We’re proud of how we’ve led the development of online transparency in the car market and grateful for the accelerated growth we've experienced the last years. Our results are a product of a human culture and a guiding principle for creating the worlds most used platform for making hassle-free deals happen.
Most people know AutoUncle for the consumer service (native apps and web) used by millions of consumers across Europe. But, new colleagues tend to get very excited when they see the technological depth there is to AutoUncle’s platform (car valuations, indexing and data processing of millions of cars daily, pro dealership tools, automatic marketing platforms, automated billing and so much more).
Financially strong, fast growing and modern workstyle
When you join AutoUncle, you sign up for a journey of building one of Europe’s biggest consumer services. The company is financially strong and operates like a fast growing, modern company. In Product &Engineering you see this by:
- We've practiced and refined how to work remotely for many years
- We set annual and quarterly goals using OKRs
- We care about true agility and plan epics and sprints using Scrum
- We believe Scrum teams should be self-managing and come up with solutions to problems and opportunities, not just execute on tasks specced in detail by a manager.
- We make decisions based on data, run lots of A/B tests and have efficient ways to get rapid user feedback
- We invest in team and personal growth (retrospectives, team events, recurring 1:1s)
- We get together across teams to share what we work on and discuss the things that influence all of us such as having great development processes and maintaining a healthy code quality
- We methodically work with the company's culture at quarterly Company Meetups (virtual)
- We dedicate time to socialise (virtually and offsite events)
We believe the best results are produced in environments where people enjoy working. As you get started you’ll quickly appreciate that the company has a clear vision and a healthy work culture where honesty, feedback, personal development and humour are the cornerstones. We optimise for working smart and have a strong commitment to the type of workplace we want at AutoUncle.
