Build systems at global scale. Ship daily. Own real impact.

At AirHelp, we help millions of airline passengers worldwide receive the compensation they deserve.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer who thrives on speed, ownership, and building products that matter.

This isn’t a “feature factory” role. You’ll take end-to-end responsibility for technical challenges that directly shape both the experience of millions of users and the productivity of our internal legal and operations teams.

• Infrastructure & DevOps: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
• Data: PostgreSQL
• Monitoring & Tooling: ELK, Grafana, Sentry, GitHub Actions, PostHog, Google Analytics
• Modern Frontend Stack: React Hook Form, Zustand, Tailwind, Vite, Zod, TanStack, Vitest, Playwright

What you’ll do

• Ship production-ready code daily across backend and frontend systems.
• Design and scale services for milliseconds-level performance and reliability.
• Level up developer velocity by improving CI/CD pipelines and tools.
• Influence architecture and drive modernization of core services.
• Mentor peers and raise the bar on engineering standards.

What You’ll Deliver in Your First Year

• Launch and expand Document Hub - our intelligent document storage system - by building scalable APIs and deprecating legacy services.
• Contribute to the rollout of our Rule Engine, defining dynamic document logic that speeds up claim processing.
• Implement just-in-time document validation, ensuring users only upload what’s needed at the right moment.
• Boost developer productivity with a smoother Node.js stack, better testing/debugging flows, and streamlined CI/CD.
• Leave systems better than you found them through modernization, observability, and clear documentation.

• Strong SQL skills (PostgreSQL preferred).
• Proven ability to own solutions end-to-end across the SDLC.
• Ownership mindset: you spot problems and fix them before they’re tickets.
• Solid testing discipline (unit, integration, e2e).
• Cloud experience (AWS a plus).
