• You see developer experience as a product, and continuously look for ways to improve it.

• Improve and evolve platform tooling to support a growing number of services and teams across Hopper.
• Design infrastructure workflows that are simple, consistent, and scalable — enabling engineers to build and deploy with confidence.
• Drive automation across key infrastructure components, reducing manual work and increasing reliability.
• Adapt and scale infrastructure offerings to meet the needs of product teams while maintaining a cohesive and maintainable platform.
• Participate in incident response for platform‑level issues as part of a globally distributed, sustainable on‑call rotation (with team coverage across the Americas and Europe).
• Support engineering teams by troubleshooting platform issues, answering infrastructure‑related questions, and reviewing pull requests that affect core systems.

• Professional experience in SRE, DevOps, Software Engineering, or Systems Engineering, with a passion for building reliable, scalable infrastructure.
• Strong troubleshooting and incident response skills across distributed systems and cloud-native environments.
• Solid system design and analytical thinking, with a focus on simplicity, performance, and maintainability.
• Clear and effective communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across engineering teams.

• Hands‑on experience with major cloud platforms — ideally Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Deep familiarity with Infrastructure as Code, preferably using Terraform.
• Experience building and operating with containers and Kubernetes, and tools like Helm or Kustomize.
• Working knowledge of Service Mesh technologies, preferably Istio.

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals — DNS, TLS, certificates, ingress controllers, etc.
• Knowledge of cloud and infrastructure security best practices, including IAM, RBAC, and network segmentation.
• Familiarity with authentication and authorization protocols and technologies.

• Experience with observability stacks — logs, metrics, tracing, and APM (preferably using Datadog).
• Practical knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
• Exposure to database technologies both SQL and NoSQL.

• Comfortable writing scripts in Bash, Python, or similar scripting languages to automate routine tasks and build tooling.

• Well‑funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary, upsides of pre‑IPO equity packages.
• Hopper covers the cost of employee premiums for private medical and dental coverage.
• Hopper also offers private life and accident coverage.
• Generous parental leave, much above industry standards.
• Access to co‑working space on demand through FlexDesk and Work‑from‑home stipend.

Through HTS, any travel provider (airlines, hotels, banks, travel agencies, etc.) can integrate and seamlessly distribute Hopper’s fintech or travel inventory on their direct channels.
