Senior Full Stack Engineer

Description

Who we are Faye is the fastest-growing travel protection company in the U.S., and the highest-rated by travelers who use it trip after trip. We’ve raised $100M to build the autonomous platform for traveler care: insurance, travel care, real-time information, and finance in one place, powered by AI and a team that moves fast. We’re there for travelers throughout their entire journey, from the moment they book to the moment they’re back home. The bar is a 6-star experience, 24/7: near-instant payouts, an award-winning app and real support when travel goes sideways. It’s hard to pull off. That’s the point. Come build what’s next with us.

• Build responsive, intuitive, and visually appealing web interfaces using React.js.
• Take full ownership of features end-to-end: from architecture and database design to frontend implementation.
• Optimize applications for maximum speed, scalability, and security.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to translate complex requirements into high-quality code.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to maintain high engineering standards.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices to continuously improve our stack.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript.
• Proficiency in React.js and its core principles.
• Deep understanding of database design and building scalable distributed systems.
• Experience with cloud environments (AWS preferred), CI/CD pipelines, and microservices architecture.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate complex codebases.
• A “get things done” mindset with the ability to work effectively in a dynamic startup environment.
• Excellent communication skills and a team-player attitude.
