Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer, you are a product-minded, customer-focused, full-stack engineer who designs, builds, and operates the software that powers arrivia’s travel platform. You take ownership of significant features and services end to end, from design through production, and you set a high bar for engineering quality on the teams you work with.

You have built real systems that run in production, and you know what it takes to keep them scalable, reliable, secure, and fast under real-world load. You make sound architectural decisions, weigh trade-offs across performance, reliability, security, cost, and speed to market, and partner with product and engineering peers to ship work that matters. You bring strong judgment to your craft, using modern tools including AI coding agents to move faster without compromising quality, security, or maintainability.

This role is remote within the United States. arrivia is currently able to hire in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the US without sponsorship now or in the future. What You’ll Do

• Design, build, test, and operate features and services across the stack, owning them from design through production and ongoing support
• Build scalable, reliable systems with the observability, failover, and operational practices needed to run them in production at scale
• Design and tune low-latency, high-performance services to meet latency and throughput targets under real-world load
• Apply secure engineering practices throughout the lifecycle, safeguarding the privacy and trust of members’ sensitive data
• Make sound architectural and technology decisions for your areas of ownership
• Use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to increase velocity while holding the line on code quality and security
• Contribute to platform modernization, migrating legacy systems toward scalable, cloud-native services
• Establish and uphold engineering quality standards, SLOs, and operational excellence for the systems you own
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to translate requirements into well-architected solutions
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and on-call rotations, and help raise the technical bar
• Mentor and support less-experienced engineers, * You show how you actually build and ship with coding agents, instead of hoping a resume communicates your skill clearly.
• Your judgment with AI becomes visible, which no “proficient with AI coding agents” resume bullet can prove.
• One challenge puts you in front of the engineering team, scored on the work. Priority without a referral!

The hiring manager reviews every completed submission, and strongest candidates go straight to an interview round. No referral needed. Performance over pedigree. Proof over polish.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5 to 8 years of full-stack development building web applications and services
• Demonstrated experience shipping a consumer or enterprise application that ran in production and served real users
• Experience at a mature engineering organization with established development, testing, code review, release, and operational practices
• A track record of building scalable, reliable systems, with hands-on experience designing and operating low-latency, high-performance systems
• Proficiency in one or more of TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or C#/.NET
• Experience with a modern frontend framework: React, Next.js, Vue, or Angular
• Solid experience with RESTful API design, distributed systems, and microservices
• Experience building and deploying cloud-native solutions on AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Proficiency using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) in professional workflows, with the judgment to know where and how to apply them
• Experience with real-time streaming and distributed messaging platforms (Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar)
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipeline design

The estimated salary range for this role is $137,000-$257,000 annually, based on Provn’s market benchmarking.
