About Engine
That work has earned recognition as one of Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators (2025), TravelTech's Reservation Platform of the Year (2026), and one of Built In's Best Places to Work (2020–2026).
We're looking for bold, ambitious people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel. Working here, you can expect exponential growth, an ambitious pace, full ownership, and high-caliber colleagues who push you to do the best work of your career. Every hire raises the bar.
Come outpace the ordinary and build the future of travel with us.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who combines strong system design instincts with the communication skills to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders. This is a backend-heavy role with a lot of autonomy, real technical challenge, and a team that runs on AI.
What You'll Do- Drive the design and implementation of greenfield services, replacing legacy code with modern microservices, strong test coverage, and production-grade observability
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers and other Engineering teams to translate requirements into engineering solutions
- Use AI tools (Claude and/or Cursor) as your primary development environment
- Drive projects independently: own your work, surface blockers, keep things moving
Required:
- AI fluency — you're comfortable using Claude, Cursor, or similar tools as your main coding interface; you don't just use them occasionally
- Strong system design skills — you can walk through architectural decisions you've made, explain tradeoffs, and think at the infrastructure level
- Proven delivery — you've shipped complex systems, not just features; you can speak to the weight and scope of what you've built
- Self-directed working style — you don't need daily direction; you identify what needs to happen and drive it
- Comfortable handling ambiguity — cross-team requests don't always come in neatly scoped; you ask the right questions and figure it out
- Adaptable to shifting priorities — lodging is the highest-demand vertical at Engine; plans change
- Excellent communication — you can explain technical problems clearly to non-technical stakeholders like accountants and business ops teams
Nice to Have:
- Java or Kotlin experience (most of our services are Java/Kotlin; not a hard requirement with AI in the loop)
- SQL and relational databases
- Terraform, Datadog, or Splunk experience
This is an evergreen opening, we review applications on an ongoing basis. This is a full-time, contractor role for candidates based in Latin America.
