Full Stack Engineer - GDS & Travel APIs - Hybrid Miami / Ft. Lauderdale, FL

About the role

We're hiring a full-stack engineer to focus on booking and integration capabilities for AIVIA, our AI travel advisor operating system. Advisors use this platform to research, quote, close, and close trips. You'll own the layer that turns advisor intent (and increasingly, AI-generated itineraries) into real, ticketed bookings through the GDS and travel supplier APIs.

What You'll Build

• The integration layer between AIVIA and the GDS & travel APIs — fares, availability, PNRs, queues, ticketing, and the messy edges between them.
• The data model for itineraries, segments, and pricing that the rest of the platform (and our AI tools) build on top of.
• The booking flows that AIVIA's AI agents call into when they construct trips for advisors.
• The instrumentation, retries, and failure handling that keep the engine trustworthy at scale.

Requirements

• Direct GDS API experience — Sabre, Travelport+, Galileo, or Amadeus. This is non-negotiable. The GDS is the part of the job we can't teach you quickly, so you need to bring real production experience with at least one of them.
• 3+ years building production web applications. React or Next.js and modern component patterns on the front end.
• Postgres (or equivalent) and strong data modeling instincts — booking data is unforgiving.
• Solid grounding in auth, security, and PII handling. Practical testing and CI/CD discipline.
• Fluency with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot) and a real opinion about when to use them, when not to, and how to keep them honest. We are an AI-augmented engineering org and we want people who already work this way.
• Ability to work in a collaborative team environment.
• Ability to read, write, and communicate effectively in English at a level necessary to perform the essential functions of the role.

How We Work

• Lean, outcome-driven, short cycles.
• Heavy instrumentation and frequent feedback from real travel advisors.
• High visibility and freedom.
• Small team, real ownership, and no layers.

Benefits

• Employer-Sponsored Medical and Dental Insurance with Employee Contribution
• Fully-Funded Life Insurance (1x salary) & LTD (Long-Term Disability Insurance)
• Optional Employee-Paid Vision Insurance and STD (Short-Term Disability Insurance)
• 401k with up to 4% Company Match
• Paid Time Off + Company Holidays
• Additional Time Off for Your Birthday and Work Anniversary
• Discount Travel Program
