- Collaborate on the offline-first experience that powers Trip Mode, ensuring data syncs reliably when connectivity returns
- Optimize frontend performance, including load times and rendering for data-heavy views like maps and day-by-day itineraries
- Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews
- Work with product and design to turn user needs into polished, shipped features
What we're looking for
- Solid experience building production web applications with a modern JavaScript framework (React or similar)
- Strong command of HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience working with REST or GraphQL APIs and integrating frontend with backend services
- Understanding of responsive design and cross-browser compatibility
- Familiarity with state management patterns and component-driven architecture
- Comfort working in a fast-moving, collaborative product team
Nice to have
