Senior Fullstack Engineer (Remote)

Hello! Thanks for taking a look at the job description for a **Remote Senior Fullstack Developer** at Impala. We felt a little bit impersonal just throwing you right in there with words like “revolutionizing” and “disrupting”. As such, we want you to know that the person that wrote this job description apologises in advance for any clichés, tropes or sudden-insecurity-driven-panic-attacks that you might find in the description below. **What is Impala?** Impala makes building travel software incredibly easy. We provide hotels with a powerful data management platform that makes connecting to software, hardware and room distributors extremely easy. Think Twilio for Travel. We launched the product in January 2019 and since then have grown at - quite frankly - a ridiculous old clip. Our technology is already installed in hundreds of hotels worldwide, on six continents and categorises more than 1 billion data points. We are a growing team of exceptional people split across engineering, product and commercial that have built a fantastic community. **Where is Impala going?** We’re supported by some of the best investors in the business, the early-stage backers behind Deliveroo, PillPack, SecretEscapes, Zoopla, Trivago, Monzo, Travelperk, Transferwise, Airbnb, GetYourGuide, Omio, Spotify and more! They’re on board because of the opportunity that lies before us - revolutionizing a 1.6 trillion dollar market that’s been out-of-date for 20 years. They also share our vision of democratising travel and enabling innovation across the industry. Within the next two years, 25% of hotel bookings worldwide will flow through Impala technology and the product that we’re building will support the entire ecosystem of travel technology (we already have over a thousand companies signed up). Anyone travelling anywhere will interact with products powered by Impala and to achieve this we’re growing the team extensively within the next year. Now is the most exciting time to be joining Impala as we go through a large push to scale up! **A brief overview of what you will be doing here:** -Acting as a technical authority for a broad and distributed set of services with high availability & security requirements. -Improving the security, reliability and quality of our products. -Ideating, developing and iterating new features, enabling our technology partners to add value to hotels and travellers. -Leading and mentoring developers, instilling best practice and supporting on career growth. -Working directly with stakeholders; part and parcel of working in an autonomous, metric-driven development team. **You should join us if:** -You have experience in the design and end-to-end development of Node-based services. -You have experience leading the development of mature, large scale / high traffic systems and services. -You’ve worked with high availability requirements and know how to lead the development of secure, reliable services. -You feel comfortable working closely with product owners, designers and other stakeholders. -You are extremely collaborative, Impala’s engineering team is not political, everyone has great ideas and should be open to input.

Please note, we only accept candidates in Western Europe because of timezone and travel time differences. We make no exceptions (we don’t have time to!). **What you will get in return?** -We reward Impalans with super competitive salaries and regular reviews. Whether you're an individual contributor or you want to manage people, there's plenty of opportunity to develop your skills and boost your earning potential.
