Our client is the market leader for the leisure travel industry. Their goal is to bring the joy back into travel planning! They’ve built a product that thousands of travel agents absolutely love and depend on every day.

The founders worked at LiveRamp together ($310MM exit). 85% of their growth has been referral based; which goes to show how much their clients love them, and the inherent value they’re building.

Although the pandemic was incredibly hard on the travel industry in 2020, they have managed to stay lean, and grew their revenue and customers. We're poised for extremely strong growth as travel comes back!

You're the ideal fit if you:

• are humble
• communicate clearly and proactively
• get things done
• are relentlessly resourceful
• balance elegance and expediency
• give and take constructive feedback well
• care about what you're building
• have 5references who will tell us examples of the above

You are comfortable:

• operating at all levels of the stack
• shipping features from conception to launch
• building largescale Rails apps, designing APIs, and JavaScript front ends (Vue.js, jQuery)
• creating user interfaces that non-technical people can use
• optimizing databases and have a good understanding of web app security
• working directly with customers, including 1-2 hrs of weekend support 3 times per year
• working remotely, attending daily video standups, and having 4 hours workday overlap with 9a - 5p PT
• traveling to attend 1-week (typically 5 nights, Sunday - Friday) team meetups three times per year (when it's safe to do so)

Engineering team and processes

Their Engineering team operates on 2-week cycles. At the end of each cycle they have a hackday (work on whatever you want related to the business). They use PRs on GitHub todo code reviews. They use continuous integration and push to production multiple times a day.

Technical challenges

I’m looking for generalists who are excited to operate at all levels of the stack. You'll build products from the ground up, make architecture decisions, and receive feedback from customers to see the direct impact you're driving.

Projects you might work on

1. Taking their next core product feature from inception to launch.
2. Building integrations with supplier APIs across the entire travel ecosystem (flights, hotels, vacation rentals, cars, train, etc.) and combining massive data sets across different systems.
3. Deciding on the appropriate architecture for us to build new performant features, including search, activity feeds, notifications, and more.
