Job description
- Build features that anticipate customer needs and remove friction before questions arise
- Ensure critical information (flight details, trip changes, add-ons) is clear, timely, and accessible across app, web, and communication channels
- Design systems that reduce uncertainty and increase trust through smart automation and clear user experience
- Help design and build AI-powered chatbots and voicebots to maximize self-service and reduce manual support
- Automate inbound and outbound customer communication related to trip changes (flights, hotels, schedules)
- Apply AI to classify, route, resolve, or fully automate customer interactions
- Collaborate with the team to refine problems before coding
- Use data to validate assumptions, measure impact, and continuously improve solutions

Requirements
- Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to handle ambiguous problems
- Effective use of AI in daily work (coding, debugging, designing, analyzing, automating)
- Product-oriented thinking: you care about the “why” as well as the “how”
- Comfort working across multiple technologies and willingness to learn new ones
- Solid knowledge of RESTful API design, development, and integration best practices
- Experience with event-driven architectures (EDA) and message-based communication between services
- Familiarity with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and clean architecture principles
- Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and version control best practices (Git, GitHub Actions or similar)
- Strong emphasis on testing (unit, integration) and commitment to code quality, scalability, and maintainability
- Familiarity with observability practices including logging, monitoring, and tracing
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively within cross-functional teams
Nice to have
- Backend experience with PHP and/or C# (or equivalent)
- Frontend experience with React or React Native
- Experience in APIs, integrations, and system design
- Knowledge of AI tools, LLMs, and automation workflows
- Experience with data-informed decision making
- Proven ability to design and integrate RESTful APIs focusing on performance and reliability
- Knowledge of testing practices and focus on code quality
- Experience with observability principles in distributed systems
Benefits & conditions
- Competitive compensation package based on experience and responsibilities
- Flexible compensation for transportation and food, and private health insurance
- Flexible working schedule based on achieving monthly goals
- 100% remote work within Spain
- Permanent contract from the start
- Discounted travel opportunities
- Referral bonus for bringing in talented colleagues
- Opportunity to be part of a fun, motivated, multicultural, agile, and rapidly growing team where teamwork and customer-centric values are at the core
