What the job involves

As a Sr Software Engineer, you will be directly responsible for crafting, implementing, and deploying the frontend and backend systems that power Hopper’s award-winning user experience
We’re seeking an experienced Software Engineer to join our team to help us grow and mature the Disruption and Insurance category of Hopper’s fintech portfolio of products!

Writing code, reviewing code, and improving code
Learning about a new technical concept, service, or GCP feature that provides value to our team

Our take

Hopper is a mobile application that uses big data to predict and analyse airfare and accommodation prices, delivering savings to users. The company was created to make booking travel faster, easier, and more transparent by leveraging the power that comes from combining large amounts of data with machine learning.

As well as its booking platform, the company also has a B2B offering called HTS (Hopper Technology Solutions), which enables travel providers to integrate Hopper's travel, fintech and eCommerce products. Major partners of this initiative include Marriott, Kayak and Capital One.

Lately, the company has focussed on innovation and international expansion, with the intent to grow its operating margins. It has not been unaffected by the economic landscape, and made a round of lay-offs in 2023, although this appears to be part of a wider move towards profitability rather than a sign of trouble.
