Full-stack Software Engineer - Remote

Join Triptease — Where Travel Tech Meets Impact. At Triptease, we’re building technology that helps hotels thrive in a digital world dominated by Online Travel Agents. Our products empower hotels to increase direct bookings, regain profitability, and build closer relationships with their guests.

Already helping generate over £1 billion in direct revenue annually, we’re scaling fast across 100+ countries with offices in London, New York, Barcelona, and Singapore. It’s a fantastic time to join us as we grow our impact and expand our engineering teams.

We’re a team that values authenticity, ownership, inclusion, and delivering meaningful work — together. We’re looking for a Mid Level Software Engineer who thrives in solving complex problems, working closely with others, and experimenting with new technologies. You will have excellent experience with backend projects and have also worked as a full stack engineer. You’ll help us craft accessible user experiences, design scalable systems, and explore how AI and automation can make our platform smarter and more impactful for hoteliers worldwide.

Our mission is to empower hotels with control over these channels, giving them the tools to shape strategy, reach their most valuable guests and drive direct bookings. We’re a collaborative team working mainly in TypeScript (Node.js and React) with Google Cloud Run, Kubernetes, Terraform and BigQuery. Day to day we build backend services, integrations with platforms like the Google Ads API, and features within Campaign Manager that give hoteliers both strategic control and tactical flexibility.

Every engineer contributes ideas and helps shape the squad’s direction, not just the code.

• Languages: Primarily TypeScript, with some Kotlin and Python
• Backend: Node.js, experimenting with modern alternatives like Bun
• Frontend: React for admin tools and reporting (minimal UI work)
• Data: BigQuery, PostgreSQL, MySQL

You’ll be part of a small, empowered squad responsible for building, growing, and maintaining key parts of the Triptease stack. While the work spans both frontend and backend, there’s a strong lean toward backend systems.

Pair program with teammates for the majority of your coding time. Take part in daily standups, weekly planning sessions, and frequent retros to continuously improve how we work. Practice trunk-based development and continuous delivery, shipping small, incremental changes to production.

• XP Engineering Practices: Comfortable with pair programming most of the day, and see test-driven development (TDD) as integral to building reliable systems. You use tests to drive design, embrace refactoring as part of everyday coding, and value small, incremental code and test cycles.
• Backend and Full-Stack Experience: Strong backend experience in TypeScript with additional frontend skills for admin UIs. Solid skills across the full stack, from client-side to server-side development.
• Practical experience: Building deployment pipelines and continuous delivery on cloud platforms.
• Data Systems and Analytics: Experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and BigQuery. Passion for working with data to power real-time analytics, A/B testing, and monitoring with tools like DataDog.
• Experience designing: Building distributed, high-availability, high-throughput systems while maintaining modularity, functionality, maintainability, and data consistency. Solid understanding of how the internet works.
• Code Quality: You write obvious, concise code that rarely needs comments and always leave the codebase better than you found it.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with online advertising or ad tech products.
• gRPC experience (we maintain a TypeScript Google Ads API library).
• Experience in cross-functional teams practising XP (Extreme Programming) and Kanban techniques.
• Familiarity with multiple programming languages and the ability to bring insights and practices across ecosystems.

We’re a remote-first Product & Engineering team, working across the UK and Europe (London +/- 1h GMT). You can work from our London office, from home, or a mix of both. We meet regularly in person for team and company events.

We’re committed to your career development, most of our staff have seen considerable learning and progression. Triptease will also fund training and conferences if you tell us why we should.

• Paid vacation (increasing with tenure)
• Yearly learning allowance – invest in your growth!
• Enhanced maternity & paternity leave
• Fun events for Tripteasers - the entire company is travelling to Madrid this September for a global retreat.
• Whatever equipment helps you get your job done.

In Product-Engineering, we hire people we trust, and then trust them to make their own choices on how they want to work, and how they want to reach a goal. This sounds simple but it requires a lot of investment in the right company culture. We are working on a highly scaled platform that hotels use to build direct relationships with their customers and cut out middlemen. In terms of scale, our software operates on over 10k hotels and collects ~30M guest events a day, and growing.

We care deeply about diversity and inclusion. Outside of hiring activities, we work hard to foster an environment of psychological safety. We have initiatives like 'Discovery Days', 'Field Trips' and 'Product Management Dojos' to bring new people together and create more learning and development opportunities.

Triptease is proud to be an equal opportunity employer with an active cross-functional 'diversity squad' devoted to addressing diversity challenges in the company and industry.
