Senior Software Engineer, Full Stack
Skiplagged, United States
Job Description
Skiplagged is a one-of-a-kind travel site that makes it easier and more affordable to experience the world. We are a group of improvers and frequent travelers who recognized that there were no travel companies that truly worked for the consumers' benefit. We started going after that idea by developing a lightning-fast search portal that shows unique flight, hotel, and car deals that you can’t find anywhere else. While we are a small team, we’ve accomplished a lot. We’ve created a strong and high-growth business, and recognition and have a lot of great product momentum - but we’ve only just scratched the surface of our vision of becoming one of the world's largest travel sites. So if you believe in our mission and want to change how people can experience the world, come join us.
The role:
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to develop scalable software solutions to complex problems that Skiplagged faces. This is not the type of role where you will spend your days implementing a PM's Jira tickets, but rather you will be part of a collaborative cross-functional team that’s truly responsible for identifying, conceptualizing, and implementing solutions to complex problems. The person in this role will be excited about developing and deploying a complex backend infrastructure improvement one day, and come in the next day with the same amount of passion to build a new feature for the users of our website.
You will be a great fit for this role if:
- You have proven experience as a Full Stack Developer or a similar role
- You are comfortable with databases (e.g. MySQL, MongoDB) and web servers
- You have knowledge of multiple back-end languages (e.g. Python and PHP) and JavaScript frameworks (e.g. React)
- You have a strong understanding of multiple front-end languages and libraries (e.g. HTML/ CSS, JavaScript, XML, jQuery)
- You have a degree in, and passion for, Computer Science, or relevant field
- You want to utilize both your technical and relational skills to lead meaningful projects to completion
- You are a self-starter and work well in an environment where engineers are expected to find solutions to complex problems

- Stock options in a fast-growing, profitable company
