Listing Description
The Cloud Travel group builds web travel portals for B2B partners, expanding into a B2C offering soon. After a few very successful existence proofs that in one year went to account for over 40% of Hopper’s total revenue, we are scaling up our efforts to deliver first class travel experience to more partners and their customers.
As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Cloud Travel teams, you will work as part of a cross-functional team of exceptional engineers, designers and product managers to help bring new features to market in web portals, iterate on feature construction, and iteratively improve the scalability of our suite of travel portals across both B2B and B2C channels.
A successful candidate will demonstrate a high sense of ownership of outcomes and consistently look for creative ways to deliver results quickly, being able to tell between what has to be right from the start and what can be iterated on.
