Mission-critical booking and dynamic pricing platform for passenger transport operators
Sqills operates S3 Passenger, a reservation and ticketing system serving rail, bus, and ferry operators across Europe and South Africa. The tech stack—AWS microservices (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, EventBridge), containerized on Kubernetes, with React/TypeScript frontends—reflects a cloud-native, event-driven architecture built to handle high-volume booking surges. No active adopts or replacements signal stack maturity; the hiring mix (engineering-heavy with mid-to-senior roles) is concentrated on scaling infrastructure performance and building internal tooling (design system, leadership programs), not product pivots.
