What We’re Looking For

Success in this role is about more than coding. We’re looking for engineers who can think through architecture, communicate their technical approach, and build scalable API platforms that support both internal products and external integrations.

We’re partnering with a leading travel organization to hire a Platform/API Engineer to help build and scale a modern loyalty platform supporting millions of customers and a growing network of external partners.

This is not a traditional backend development role. We’re looking for an engineer who enjoys designing APIs, solving complex integration challenges, and collaborating on architecture just as much as writing code.
