Description For Software Engineer, Backend

Whether it's to visit the people closest to us, starting an exciting adventure, or a career-defining business trip, travel is an essential part of our lives. Yet we've all experienced the aches and pains of getting to our destination. Today, more than 4 billion airline passengers rely on technology that hasn't kept up with the expectations of the modern connected traveller.

Duffel is rebuilding the infrastructure that underpins the travel industry. As a Backend Software Engineer, you'll be part of the team building tools to simplify travel distribution, search and booking through one common and seamless API. This brings huge technical challenges as we need to design and build a beautiful API before integrating with hundreds of airlines, while navigating through their differing needs and systems.

You'll work with modern technologies including Elixir, Phoenix, Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform. We're looking for someone who is passionate about API design and developer experience, with strong communication skills and the ability to think big picture. While Elixir experience isn't required, you should have 6+ years of engineering experience and be excited to learn new technologies.

We offer a collaborative and growth-oriented environment where your ideas and feedback are valued. Everyone who joins Duffel receives equity ownership, showing our commitment to shared success. We're backed by top investors including Benchmark, Blossom, Index Ventures and Kima Ventures who have helped build some of the world's largest companies.

This is an opportunity to help transform the travel industry by making it more efficient and user-friendly through better technology. You'll be working on meaningful technical challenges while having direct impact on how millions of people experience travel booking and management.
