About the role

Engineering Manager at Hopper leading fintech engineering team to develop B2B/B2B2C platforms. Overseeing architecture, development, and partner integrations on the Hotels CFAR platform.

Responsibilities

Lead the architecture, development, and rollout of the Hotels CFAR platform — including offer/pricing/order/exercise APIs, the merchandising and UI SDK layer, synthetic rate bundling, and the exercise/payout infrastructure
Own partner integrations end-to-end: scope technical solutions, lead solutioning calls, design integration patterns, and partner with sales and Solutions to move partners from Discovery → Solutioning → Development → Live
Drive the foundation work that lets us scale: partner management portal, configuration tooling, self-serve onboarding — the infrastructure that decouples partner growth from engineering headcount
Be the senior technical voice in partner conversations — translate between partner engineering teams, our APIs, and our product strategy; own SLAs, performance, and partner-specific requirements
Partner with Product, Risk/Pricing, Ops, and GTM to align engineering output to business outcomes: attach rate, contribution profit, partner launch velocity, and loss ratio
Foster technical excellence — architecture reviews, mentorship, raising the bar on the senior ICs and tech leads on the team

Experience leading engineering teams building B2B/B2B2C platforms with real, named external partners on the other side — not just internal stakeholders
A strong technical background across backend systems (APIs, orchestration, distributed systems), frontend SDKs / embedded UI, and cloud infrastructure
Direct experience as a partner/customer-facing technical leader — running solutioning calls, scoping integrations, owning SLAs, and unblocking deployments
Comfort with fintech, insurance-adjacent, or transactional products — money movement, refunds, pricing engines, contracts, audit trails
Familiarity with the travel distribution landscapes a bonus — booking engines, agent portals, bedbanks, OTAs, PSS/inventory platforms (Sabre, Amadeus), or hotel CRS/chain systems — is a strong plus
Experience with Scala or Java, REST APIs, OAuth2.0, and cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS); frontend exposure (React, JS/TS) for SDK and merchandising work
A collaborative, product-minded approach — able to partner closely with Sales, Product, Risk, and Ops without losing engineering rigor
A bias for action and a passion for mentoring and growing senior engineering talent
