Hi! I’m Ivan 👋 Director of Platform & Infrastructure here at WeTravel. I joined WeTravel to help build a secure, reliable, and scalable IT environment as we grow. Our team’s mission is to empower every WeTravel employee with the tools and support they need to work efficiently, securely, and without friction — no matter where they are in the world.
About WeTravel
Think of the most incredible adventures imaginable: trekking to Machu Picchu, cycling through Tuscany, or going on a safari in Kenya. For years, the small businesses and local experts who run these trips have been stuck using messy spreadsheets, countless emails, and complicated payment methods.
WeTravel is changing that. We build the tools that empower any entrepreneur to launch and grow their own travel business. Our platform makes it simple for organizers to create beautiful trip proposals, securely process payments, and manage their customers, so they can focus on what they do best: creating amazing experiences.
This is one of the last great frontiers of travel to come online, and as the category leader, we are at the forefront of this change. Last year alone, our platform was trusted by 8,000 organizers to lead over a million travelers on adventures in 150+ countries. Now, we’re on an exciting journey to grow from powering $1B to $10B in travel experiences per year.
We believe that every trip, when done right, can be a force for good - and we’re building the engine to make more of that possible.
What’s the role
As a Senior Software Engineer focused on Developer Experience, you'll help make it fast and easy for WeTravel engineers to build, test, deploy, and operate software.
You'll work on the internal platform and tooling used by our product engineering teams: CI/CD, developer environments, service tooling, deployment workflows, observability, and self-service infrastructure. Our goal is to remove unnecessary complexity from everyday development and provide paved roads that let engineers ship confidently without needing to understand every detail of the underlying infrastructure.
You'll be part of the Platform team, so this isn't a tooling-only role. You'll also contribute to our AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure, reliability, and operational improvements. But your primary customers are our engineers, and your primary focus will be making their development experience better.
