Senior Software Engineer, Backend - LATAM

Description

The company is an AI-native platform for intelligent travel. For 10 years it has built its own technology and supply for business travel.

It serves over 40,000 customers and nearly 2 million travelers, along with travel and AI companies that build on its infrastructure.

One system covers business travel, group travel, human agents and AI agents.

The team wants a senior engineer with good judgment on architecture who can also explain work to non-technical colleagues. The role is backend-heavy, with a high degree of autonomy, hard technical problems, and a team that works heavily with AI.

Responsibilities

• Design and build new services from scratch, moving away from legacy code toward modern microservices.
• Include thorough test coverage and observability that is ready for production.
• Work closely with product managers and other engineering teams to turn requirements into technical solutions.
• Make Claude and/or Cursor your main development environment.
• Take projects forward on your own: own the work, raise blockers early, and keep things moving.

Requirements

• Fluency with AI tools: you use Claude, Cursor or similar tools as your main coding interface, not occasionally.
• Ability to explain architectural decisions you have made, including the tradeoffs, and to reason at the infrastructure level.
• A record of shipping complex systems, not only features, and being able to describe the scope and weight of what you built.
• Working independently: you find out what needs doing and drive it without needing daily direction.
• Comfort with ambiguity: cross-team requests often arrive loosely defined, so you ask good questions and work out the scope.
• Adjusting to changing priorities. Lodging is the company's highest-demand vertical, so plans often shift.
• Clear communication of technical problems to non-technical people such as accountants and business operations teams.
• SQL and relational databases.
• Experience with Terraform, Datadog or Splunk.
• Java or Kotlin experience. Most services use these languages, but this is not a hard requirement, given the AI tools used on the team.
