About this role

This is an ownership role.

You will inherit a working but evolving production system built by someone else. There is a real list of things that need fixing. Your first job is to understand it deeply, make it secure, and make it something a small team can safely change.

After that, you will extend it — one module at a time, sequenced against business priorities, alongside one other engineer.

We want to be direct about what this is: it is a rescue-and-build role at a company with real revenue and real clients, where you will be the most senior technical person and your decisions will stand. If you have been waiting for a role where you own the whole system rather than a slice of it, this is that role.

What you will do

First 60 days — take custody
- Run the technical handover from our development partner
- Read and map the entire codebase; produce the architecture documentation
- Audit security, infrastructure, backup and restore, and access control
- Produce a prioritised risk and remediation plan and walk the founders through it

Months 3–4 — make it solid




- Fix the defect backlog, working directly with our agents who use the platform daily
- Build automated test coverage on the paths that cost money when they break: booking, ticketing, cancellation, refund, amendment
- Harden supplier integrations — timeouts, retries, idempotency, reconciliation when our records and a supplier's disagree
- Improve search and booking performance
- Set up proper CI/CD, staging, monitoring and alerting

Ongoing — own it
- Lead technical design and make the architecture calls
- Write code. This role is roughly 60% hands-on and stays that way.
- Review all code that ships, including your own team's
- Interview and onboard our second engineer, then mentor them
- Own production: uptime, incidents, escalation
- Work directly with the founders who know the travel domain deeply and act as product owners to turn business requirements into technical plans
- Advise on what
