Full Stack Engineer - GDS & Travel APIs -Remote

We're hiring a full-stack engineer to focus on booking and integration capabilities 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.

This is a small-team, high-leverage role. You'll report directly to the CEO, work alongside a focused product and engineering group, and ship something the business actively depends on. Decisions get made in days, not quarters. Whatever you design, you ship.

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. You won't be training models — you'll be the engineer who makes AI-generated bookings actually work in production.
• The instrumentation, retries, and failure handling that keep the engine trustworthy at scale.

What success looks like

• 90 days: initial supplier api integration points embedded into CRM and trip planning products.
• 6 months: Initial GDS and booking api coverage for our priority products and suppliers, AIVIA agents converting proposals to booked components with minimal human involvement.

What we need

• 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.

How we work

- Lean, outcome-driven, short cycles.

- Heavy instrumentation and frequent feedback from real travel advisors.

- You report directly to the CEO. Small team, real ownership, no layers.
