📋 Description

• Design, build, and improve the backend and full-stack systems that power HTS Assist, internal agent tools, and customer self-serve flows • Develop scalable APIs, microservices, and orchestration logic supporting complex post-booking journeys across AI, chat, voice, and web • Partner with Product, Design, AI, and Operations to deliver features that streamline customer experiences and improve agent efficiency • Integrate with external systems — telephony, CRM, identity, booking platforms — to support internal use cases and partner deployments • Own features end-to-end, from technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and iteration • Contribute to architectural decisions, code reviews, and reliability improvements that raise the bar for the broader team • Analyse system performance and user behaviour to identify opportunities for automation, optimisation, and cost reduction

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years of software engineering experience building large-scale distributed systems or customer-facing applications • Strong command of both modern frontend and backend development, with the ability to contribute meaningfully across the full stack • Hands-on experience designing and maintaining RESTful APIs, microservices, or event-driven systems • Comfort with data storage and cloud infrastructure at a senior level — you know how to make the right tradeoffs without needing to be told • A product engineer mindset: you think about the user experience, ask why before how, and take ownership of outcomes, not just outputs • Strong communication skills and a track record of effective cross-functional collaboration with distributed teams. • Experience with conversational AI, LLM orchestration, or automation systems (preferred) • Experience building customer service, CRM, telephony, contact center, or workflow automation tools (preferred) • Familiarity with Scala/Python, React, TypeScript, or modern frontend frameworks for engineers who want to contribute full-stack (preferred) • Experience integrating with external systems (e.g., telephony APIs, identity providers, payment gateways, CRMs) (preferred) • Knowledge of travel industry technologies (PSS/GDS, hotel PMS/CRS) is a plus, though not required.
