Full Stack Engineer - GDS & Travel APIs

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