About the role
7+ years of experience building consumer‑facing platforms or distributed backend systems.
Travel / OTA experience strongly preferred. Ideal candidates have prior experience working within the travel or OTA ecosystem — such as flight metasearch, hotel aggregation, activity marketplaces, travel content platforms, or GDS/LCC/API integrations — and understand the complexities of pricing, availability, and supplier systems.
Experience with flight or hotel domains is a strong advantage: availability, fare rules, rates & inventory, ranking/relevance, caching strategy, or booking orchestration.
Hands-on experience working with Node.js (preferred) or other backend technologies.
Experience deploying applications into cloud environments (AWS highly desirable).
Strong understanding of API design, microservices, and event-driven architecture.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, complex technical environment with high ambiguity.
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and third-party partners.
Demonstrated use of Generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude) to develop new or improve workflows, enhance productivity, and drive efficiency at scale
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field
