About Caravelo

Caravelo is a travel-tech company with a global team and roots in Barcelona that specializes in subscriptions. We make travel better and more accessible by enabling our clients to offer better products and helping them to become more profitable and more stable businesses.

Our team has been growing over the past few years and at the moment we are a team of 50 people working mostly from our HQ in Barcelona. If you’d like to be part of our growth journey, read on. 

Our platform is based on a SaaS architecture in a cloud environment on Amazon AWS. The domain of our subscription platform for travelers uniquely combines two different domains: the financial domain (Fintech) and the travel domain (Travel Tech). 

Caravelo is the only platform in the world specializing in subscriptions for the travel vertical, reducing the need for our clients to develop specific adaptations or logic. Our tech stack is AWS, GitLab, Java 11 (Maven), HK2, Vue.Js and Datadog for our observability.

The mission

We are looking for a top-tier Senior Frontend Engineer to join our team and help design, develop and maintain the software interfaces and web components for our Caravelo SaaS platform. 

Our Frontend team is responsible for developing and maintaining the UX/UI web components used in our product rollouts for our airline clients. We strive to achieve scalability and cleanliness, leveraging high-quality code and documentation that allows other developers and external tech teams (such as airline tech teams) to implement them with ease.

As a highly experienced Senior Frontend Engineer, you will bring your expertise to put in place reusable code and libraries for future use, optimize software components for maximum speed and scalability, and operate autonomously throughout all development phases. You'll also be responsible for implementing integration and end-to-end tests and performing code reviews for other frontend developers with ease. Your concise and clear code, along with your excellent technical documentation skills, will be instrumental in ensuring the success of our platform.
