Intermediate Software Developer

Founded in 2017, TripArc is a $750 million privately held company that powers the top Travel Agencies and Tour Operators in North America. Our expansive and growing network empowers seamless access to a comprehensive range of travel options and services globally with over $750 million transactions annually - all at the industry’s best rates.

As an industry leader in technology, purchasing, finance, HR, and marketing, we know how to deliver solutions to travel professionals in the most effective way possible. With deep experience in partnering with two leading brands in the luxury travel space – Kensington Tours and Travel Edge – TripArc has real insight into the needs of tour operators and travel agencies today.

TripArc’s goals are simple: to make our network of over 1400 travel entities more profitable, efficient, and help them create truly unique travel for their clients.

The developer will join the TMT Technology team at TripArc, working on our Tour Operator platform. The team is in growth mode as we expand development of new features and continue the process of migrating legacy code to new front-end frameworks and a microservices architecture, helping us to rapidly scale as the rush of new clients builds. Depending on the team you join, you may work on projects that enable our travel experts to create compelling travel experiences for their clients, optimize the products presented to our travel experts based on various factors, or work "behind the scenes" on the back-end of our software where the magic of mixing, matching, and pricing happens.

We converted to an Agile methodology a couple of years ago and are now a fully enabled Agile department that prioritizes work based on the value it brings to our clients. During each two-week sprint, our developers plan, write, test, integrate, and bug fix while collaborating on teams with skilled Business Analysts, UX, and product resources, which are dedicated to the team. We hire problem solvers, not technicians, and look for self-motivated individuals with diverse backgrounds able to use the best tool for the job, contribute new ideas, and help bring them to life.
