What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Frontend Engineer - HTS / Stays (100% remote) position at Hopper?
About The Job
Did you know that Hopper technology powers some of the largest travel portals in the world? Our Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS) platform is the engine that drives travel purchases for major brands like Capital One, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Nubank, and many more!
HTS is growing fast, and we need your help to accelerate our journey even further!
We are looking for a Frontend Engineer who can do more than just build—someone who can help architect, optimize, and scale. In this role, you won’t just develop features; you’ll help define the foundations for scalable, high-performance travel portals.
You will work on a next-generation lodging, car, and packaging platform, helping top brands drive ancillary revenue while enabling Hopper to grow exponentially. We seek an experienced React engineer passionate about building world-class user experiences and reducing long-term maintenance overhead.
Our ideal candidate is not just a strong coder but a problem-solver—someone who can balance reusable white-label solutions with tailored customizations for our partners. You’ll have a seat at the table, working closely with product, design, and engineering peers to shape the architecture that powers multiple portals at scale.
What Would Your Day-to-day Look Like
The yearly total compensation for this position ranges from 150 000$ to 350 000$ USD. Base salary will be determined by candidates' relevant qualifications, knowledge, skills and work experience. Total compensation will include a solid base salary and will also include equity (options / RSUs), potentially a sign-on bonus and other potential incentives as per the "perks and benefits" section.
