Who you are

You have a strong background in software engineering with a focus on building scalable systems — your experience includes developing and deploying applications that handle high-volume transactions. You are comfortable working in a microservices architecture and understand the complexities involved in integrating various services. You have a solid grasp of Java and are familiar with best practices in coding and system design. You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy taking ownership of features from conception to production. You are detail-oriented and have a passion for delivering reliable and efficient software solutions.

Desirable

Experience in the travel or e-commerce industry is a plus, as is familiarity with airline systems and booking processes. You are eager to learn and adapt to new technologies and methodologies that can enhance your work and the team's output.

What you'll do

As a Software Engineer on the Flights Platform team, you will be responsible for driving core feature delivery across the flight booking funnel — from flight search to booking creation and post-booking fulfillment. You will take ownership of major feature releases, ensuring they are delivered on time and meet the high standards expected by our users. You will contribute to the design and implementation of resilient, low-latency services that provide a seamless experience for customers, even under high load. Your role will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance system reliability and performance, identifying opportunities for improvement, and actively participating in discussions around system design.

You will also be involved in end-to-end feature development, designing, implementing, and deploying high-quality code for new flight product features. Your contributions will be highly visible, and you will play a key role in integrating new airline partners into our platform, supporting Hopper's growth worldwide. You will work closely with product managers and other engineers to ensure that the features you develop align with business goals and user needs.
