Staff Software Engineer working across web, mobile, and backend stacks at to build and deliver customer-facing travel experience products.

Обязанности

We're looking for a Staff/Principal Product Engineer who pairs deep engineering craft with strong product instincts. You'll work across the stack - mobile, web, backend - wherever the highest-leverage problem happens to live that quarter. You don't wait for a perfectly scoped ticket; you partner with product, design, and data to figure out what's worth building, then ship it end-to-end.
We expect breadth. We also expect real depth in the mobile app ecosystem - our customer-facing experiences live there. But we're not hiring a mobile only specialist. We're hiring a generalist with mobile chops who can lead an iOS architecture review on Tuesday and untangle a backend latency regression on Wednesday.
 
Identify, scope, and ship the changes that move business metrics - across mobile, web, services, and data layers
Architect long-lasting systems that hold up under real production conditions: performance, reliability, scalability, offline behavior, consistency
Lead technical design reviews across teams, weighing trade-offs not just in code but in product impact, time-to-ship, and operational cost
Drive operational maturity wherever it's weakest - release management, observability, incident response, performance monitoring - including in the mobile apps
Partner with PMs, designers, and engineering leaders to shape what we build, why, and in what order; you're a peer in those conversations, not a downstream implementer
Set the technical bar for the org by example: write the prototype, prove the pattern, then teach it
Communicate trade-offs clearly to engineers, product partners, and senior stakeholders

Требования

10+ years of software experience, with significant time still spent hands-on in code - track record of shipping product-impacting work end-to-end, not just owning a layer
Real depth in the mobile app ecosystem (iOS and/or Android, with strong fluency in Swift and/or Kotlin and the surrounding ecosystem - offline sync, push, auth, persistence, networking, REST/GraphQL) - and credible breadth beyond it
Demonstrated breadth: you've worked seriously in at least one of {web frontend, backend services, data/infra, platform tooling} alongside mobile, and can hold your own in code review there
Strong product judgment: you've made calls about what not to build, and can defend them with evidence
Comfort troubleshooting in production across stacks - crash analysis, latency tracing, release-health debugging
Excellent cross-functional collaboration; you make the people around you better

Будет плюсом

Background in marketplaces, bookings, or other transactional consumer products
Time spent close to data - experimentation, analytics instrumentation, or ML-adjacent work
