About You
You are an experienced software engineer with a passion for technology and innovation and have built an extensive portfolio, especially within the context of travel and exploration. Throughout your career you have developed fluency in a variety of programming languages and paradigms. You’ve built MVC web apps, some data ETL pipelines and some application databases from scratch. You’ve also led the work on significant architectural changes; such as a major library upgrade or an investment in performance with material results for your users. You are obsessive about the details, but you are willing to work at different speeds; sometimes building methodically for the future, but at others developing quick prototypes so that we can learn quickly.
Your engineering expertise is complemented by an understanding of the dynamics of two-sided marketplaces in the travel industry. This insight, coupled with your experience in developing compelling features, positions you perfectly to improve user engagement and contribute to our growth. You have a track record of exceeding user expectations by delivering innovative and intuitive travel-focused digital products. Ideally this is not your first marketplace or travel company and you have knowledge of the unique challenges faced by others like Airbnb, Vrbo, and more.
At Outdoorsy, your work will span the entire stack. Whether it’s developing a new component for our Design System, or building a new geolocation Go API, your work will constantly have the potential to have a major impact for our users. At the same time, you’ll utilize your experience and curiosity to help develop solutions that impact how our organization operates internally. This could be a new way of instrumenting our search traffic or a prototype machine learning model.
