📋 Description

• Did you know that Hopper technology powers some of the largest travel portals in the world? Our Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS) platform is the engine that drives travel purchases for major brands like Capital One, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Nubank, and many more! • HTS is growing fast, and we need your help to accelerate our journey even further! • We are looking for a Frontend Engineer who can do more than just build—someone who can help architect, optimize, and scale. In this role, you won’t just develop features; you’ll help define the foundations for scalable, high-performance travel portals. • You will work on a next-generation lodging, car, and packaging platform, helping top brands drive ancillary revenue while enabling Hopper to grow exponentially. We seek an experienced React engineer passionate about building world-class user experiences and reducing long-term maintenance overhead. • Our ideal candidate is not just a strong coder but a problem-solver—someone who can balance reusable white-label solutions with tailored customizations for our partners. You’ll have a seat at the table, working closely with product, design, and engineering peers to shape the architecture that powers multiple portals at scale.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep expertise in React (functional components, hooks, performance optimizations, server-side rendering, hydration, and advanced state management). • Extensive experience with complex state management (React Context, Redux, Zustand, or similar). • Advanced CSS knowledge (SCSS, CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, animations, and handling browser quirks). • Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience developing and maintaining enterprise-scale applications. • Experience optimizing frontend performance (lazy loading, code-splitting, caching strategies, Lighthouse optimizations, etc.). • Strong understanding of frontend architecture and how to design scalable, maintainable systems. • Familiarity with SSR and static site generation (e.g., Next.js) for SEO-friendly experiences. • Experience working with backend APIs (GraphQL, REST) and handling data-fetching strategies efficiently. • Bonus: Familiarity with backend systems and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, etc.) is nice to have, but not mandatory. • A passion for writing testable code—knowing what to test, what not to test, and what kinds of tests matter in front-end applications.

🏖️ Benefits

• Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and the upsides of pre-IPO equity packages • Unlimited PTO • Flexdesk All Access pass AND a work-from-home stipend • Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business • Open communication with management and company leadership • Small, dynamic teams = massive impact
