Hopper is looking for a Senior Front-end Engineer to build and scale lodging and package booking experiences across multiple partner portals worldwide. In this role, you will shape how travel products scale while maintaining performance, usability, and maintainability.
What You'll Do
- Work with top-tier engineers in a low-process environment powered by trust and autonomy.
- Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously with thoughtful documentation.
- Build new features from top to bottom, from UX to database.
- Architect scalable front-end solutions that allow efficient launch of new portals.
- Work directly with PMs and business partners to help define and refine the roadmap.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with a diverse group of people, giving and receiving feedback for growth.
What We're Looking For
- Deep expertise in React with modern compiler-driven patterns (functional components, hooks, performance optimizations, server-side rendering, hydration, advanced state management).
- Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience developing and maintaining enterprise-scale applications.
- Advanced CSS knowledge (Tailwind, SCSS, CSS-in-JS, animations, handling browser quirks).
- Familiarity with contemporary frontend tooling (e.g., React Query/TanStack ecosystem, Tailwind or design-token-based styling, modern build tools like Vite).
- Solid frontend architecture fundamentals: performance, accessibility, responsive design, testing, and maintainability.
- Experience optimizing frontend performance (lazy loading, code-splitting, caching strategies, Lighthouse optimizations).
- Experience working on complex product flows such as e-commerce, travel, marketplace, or fintech applications.
- Ability to balance shipping product features with long-term platform thinking in multi-brand or white-label environments.
- Familiarity with SSR and static site generation (e.g., Next.js) for SEO-friendly experiences.
- A passion for writing testable code knowing what to test, what not to test, and what kinds of tests matter in front-end applications.
Nice to Have
- Experience working in monorepos (e.g., Turbo, Nx, pnpm workspaces).
- Full-stack engineers with a frontend tilt, comfortable collaborating across API design, backend systems and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, etc.).
