About the job
The Corporate Travel team is a new team within Hopper that is making Hopper’s consumer booking experience available to corporate travelers with corporate controls.

You will build foundational features and services that will be core to the business going forward, and design systems that will enable us to move quickly while ensuring a high standard of code quality and scalability. You’ll relentlessly pursue ways to make corporate traveling better. You’ll work alongside other developers, designers, and product managers to build out the best Corporate Travel platform in the market.
