Our goal is to establish the leading retail media network in the travel sector, driving significant profitability for Hopper and our partners, much like Instacart, Uber, and Amazon have achieved in their respective industries.

Though we are in the early phases of our development, HTS Media has already emerged as one of Hopper’s most rapidly expanding and profitable segments. The engineering team is crucial in enhancing our platform, ensuring that our ad technologies provide tangible benefits for advertisers while delivering a seamless user experience for travelers.

About the Role

As a Senior Backend Engineer on the HTS Media team, you will be instrumental in developing the core engine that drives our advertising platform.

This pivotal position will have a direct influence on platform performance, advertiser satisfaction, and Hopper’s overall financial success.

You will confront the intricate challenges within the ad tech arena, optimizing our real-time bidding (RTB) logic and ensuring responses occur within milliseconds, even under heavy loads. As a technical leader, you will mentor other engineers, guide architectural choices, and uphold high standards of scalable, high-quality code. If you have a passion for building distributed systems capable of operating at an extensive scale, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
