The role involves designing, building, and shipping features for a travel platform, utilizing AI coding agents extensively. Responsibilities include revitalizing services, automating workflows, mentoring, and ensuring code quality and security.
This isn't a traditional Software Engineering role. At arrivia, we are moving beyond traditional development to an agentic future. We are looking for "10x builders" who don't just write code, but orchestrate it. You are a product-minded, customer-focused engineer who treats AI coding agents not as a novelty, but as a core development tool to multiply your impact and accelerate delivery. You live at the intersection of architecture and execution, where shipping robust, scalable systems beats perfection paralysis. If you thrive in the flow of Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot to solve complex problems and revitalize legacy architectures, you'll shine here. You don't just follow a spec—you own the technical delivery end-to-end and help us define what it means to build in an AI-first world.
About This Role
- Orchestrate the Stack: Design, build, and ship complex features and services for a global travel platform, owning delivery from initial design through to production.
- AI as Core Competency: Treat agentic coding tools as essential parts of your daily workflow. You aren't just using them for boilerplate; you’re using them for architecture, refactoring, and complex logic.
- Build the "Glue": Build and configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations to connect AI agents to our internal tools, data sources, and platform services.
- Revitalize & Refactor: Use AI agents to breathe new life into existing services through smart migrations, cloud-native patterns, and aggressive technical debt reduction.
- Automate the Boring Stuff: Identify and build internal agentic workflows that automate repetitive tasks like testing, documentation, and code review triage.
- Own the Outcome: Drive decisions autonomously within your pod. You balance speed, scalability, and maintainability, with results measured by real-world performance and SLOs.
- Mentor the Next Gen: Lead by example and mentor junior engineers on the productive, secure, and high-quality use of AI-assisted development tools.
- Guardian of Trust: Ensure the privacy, security, and performance of AI-generated code, validating every line for correctness before it reaches our members.
Requirements
- Experience: 5–8 years of professional full-stack development experience building scalable web applications and microservices.
- Agentic Mastery: 2+ years of hands-on experience using AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) in a professional production environment.
- Polyglot Proficiency: Strong proficiency in at least two of the following: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or C#/.NET.
- Technical Depth: Deep experience with modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js) and a solid understanding of RESTful API design.
- AI Infrastructure: Working knowledge of MCP, Azure AI Foundry, RAG, and LangChain. You understand how to connect LLMs to data.
- Cloud & DevOps: Experience architecting on AWS, Azure, or GCP, with a working knowledge of Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and distributed messaging (Redis, Kafka).
- The Builder's Mindset: Demonstrated ability to evaluate emerging AI tools and a track record of experimenting publicly with new workflows to stay ahead of the curve.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
Benefits & Perks
- Exclusive Travel Perks: Access to our private travel marketplace with deeply discounted rates on cruises, resorts, and hotels.
- Comprehensive Health: Robust Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plans.
- Future Planning: 401(k) with company matching.
- Global Connectivity: A remote-friendly or hybrid culture that values "Winning Together" across US and international time zones.
- Innovation-Driven Culture: We are a team of curious, honest, and action-oriented builders who believe in bringing our whole selves to work every day.
