Engineering Manager

About Tripstack - We are travel tech entrepreneurs, changing the way millions of people travel. Our proprietary Virtual Interlining (VI) technology provides access to billions of travel itineraries by combining flights from different airline carriers that don’t traditionally work together. We take our customers from destination A to B via C, at the lowest possible price. We are impacting the way people travel globally and provide higher margin opportunities to our partners that are some of the largest in the travel industry. We pride ourselves on the performance-driven environment we have created for our teams to prosper and excel in. We come to work ready, to challenge and be challenged. We’re big enough to give our teams support but small enough that every person makes a difference. There are plenty of challenges to champion.
