Station-independent car-sharing, rental, and subscription platform across Germany
MILES operates a multi-modal mobility network across 12 German cities, offering pay-per-km car-sharing alongside subscription and rental products. The tech stack is operations-heavy—SQL, Python, and testing tools (Selenium, Cypress, JMeter) dominate, with n8n and Zendesk recently adopted—and hiring velocity is decelerating despite 120 open roles. The department composition (ops 79, engineering 16, support 6) reflects a business constrained by fleet logistics and workshop coordination rather than product velocity: active projects cluster around vehicle preparation, repair-process optimization, and accounting digitization, while pain points center on fleet maintenance, availability, and towing logistics.
