Position: Senior Full Stack Engineer - AI Travel Platform & Ownership

About this role

We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer (employee #5!) excited to ship a consumer travel product built with AI at its core. This role will have enormous ownership and impact over the shape of the software engineering team, and will be responsible for key system design & architectural decisions. This is a product focused role on a team that strives for good code, fast iteration cycles, and a high quality user experience.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work alongside an incredible team building in an AI native environment.

You'll solve hard technical problems from scratch, owning the solution through the entire development lifecycle.

You'll contribute to the creation of the team culture, as well as internal tooling and processes.

What we are looking for

You have built a technically strong, independent project from scratch (e.g. an open-source project or functioning product) and are able to ideate & execute on a product idea end-to-end

You have worked in a high-growth, fast-paced environment (ideally another startup) and can drive things forward with relatively little directional oversight

You want ownership, and you thrive on a small team

You want to play at an elite level, and want to be surrounded by other people who want to win

Developers on the team today:

Work primarily in Python & Type Script

Ship UIs in React, often with Tailwind, and usually with Next.js

Commit against a monorepo where every engineer is expected to work across the full tech stack

Focus on time-to-value and prioritizing velocity and speed of iteration (we know getting to product market fit means having as many possible swings at bat)

Value clear written communication (we write more than we meet)

Set clear goals for themselves and commit to them in a group setting

Can always answer the question “what did you ship this week?”

Why work at Gondola

Join a fantastic, tight-knit team at the right time:
We just raised a seed round from a fantastic group of investors, and you'd join at an important time when a single person could significantly change the course of the company.

Do your life's work with people you’ll enjoy working with: we care strongly about our craft and want every person at Gondola to feel like they're growing every day. We believe in the idea that working with people you both enjoy and have respect for makes everything better. We hire thoughtfully and only work with people we admire deeply.

Build the future of travel: 10 years from now, consumer travel will look fundamentally different than it does today. This is an opportunity to be an early employee at a generational consumer brand.
