About the job

Join the Commerce team at Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS), the engine powering the travel portals for the world’s most iconic brands like Capital One, Air Canada, and Uber. HTS now represents over 85% of Hopper’s business, reaching over 400 million travelers globally. We aren't just building apps; we are architecting a high-scale, white-label commerce platform that processes billions of dollars in travel and fintech annually.

We are looking for a high-ownership Frontend Engineer to help us redefine B2B travel. At HTS, we thrive on a bottom-up innovation culture. We don't wait for top-down mandates; our engineers have the autonomy to identify performance levers, propose new product capabilities, and ship features that move the needle for our global partners. If you love a fast-paced environment where your code directly impacts millions of users from day one, you belong here.

What would your day-to-day look like

• Design & Build at Scale: Architect and review code for world-class, multi-tenant travel portals that balance reusable white-label foundations with partner-specific customizations.

• Autonomous Execution: Lead initiatives from concept to deployment. Our group operates with a low-meeting culture, emphasizing deep work, strong alignment, and asynchronous decision-making to maximize engineering velocity.

• Product Innovation: Collaborate side-by-side with Product Managers and Designers to explore engineering improvements that enhance the user experience and drive partner growth.

• Cross-Functional Impact: Work seamlessly across Hopper’s ecosystem—integrating with our Scala-based fintech services and GCP infrastructure to bring sophisticated travel features to market.

An ideal candidate has

• Exceptional Technical Craft: Expert-level proficiency in React and TypeScript, with a deep understanding of component architecture, state management, and web performance.

• Product-Minded Engineering: You anchor your conception of "quality" in the customer experience and understand how to translate business ambiguity into clear, scalable code.

• Iterative DNA: A natural drive to deliver results fast. You know how to distinguish between "must-be-perfect" core logic and features that can be evolved through data-driven iteration.

• Systems Thinking: Experience (or a hunger to learn) managing complex frontends within a distributed systems environment, ensuring reliability for high-stakes partner integrations.
  
  Perks and benefits of working with us:

  • Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and the upsides of pre-IPO equity packages.

  • Carrot Cash travel stipend.

  • Flexdesk All Access Pass & Work-from-home stipend.

  • Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.

  • Open communication with management and company leadership.

  • Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
