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.

What we're looking for

Faye is looking for a talented Full Stack Engineer to join our core R&D team. You will be a key player in building our innovative travel insurance platform, taking ownership of features from the database all the way to the user interface.

• 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.
