Description

Hi! I’m George, Sr. Director of Engineering at WeTravel.
As a lifelong traveler, I believe travel is a force for good and mutual understanding. I joined WeTravel to empower the people who make it happen. My team builds the foundational technology that allows organizers to turn their vision into a magical reality for their clients.

Responsibilities

WHAT’S THE ROLE

Every great adventure has a moment of truth: the decision to click “book.” Our team owns this moment. We build the core transaction engine that turns a traveler’s dream into a reality.
We create a frictionless and trustworthy experience for what is often a life-changing purchase. Our work covers the entire booking lifecycle, from a seamless checkout with custom packages and insurance, to managing all the details that follow. We are also the safety net, building the logic that handles unexpected changes, cancellations, and complex payments with clarity and grace.
Our order management system is the financial backbone of our marketplace—the system of record for every booking on the platform.
Essentially, we build the platform’s foundation of trust.
You’ll join us to evolve this foundation to the next level, leading the team as we systems that will support a ten-fold increase in global travel experiences and directly shaping the customer experience for millions of users.

To do this we’ll need to:

  • Evolve our core order system to seamlessly handle new and diverse product lines. The goal is to create a flexible foundation that empowers our product teams to build, test, and launch new services in parallel.
  • Globalize our business order models to support any accounting standard in the world. The challenge is to make it effortless for our organizers—from a tour guide in Japan to a retreat leader in California—to manage their books and run their business compliantly.
  • Automate and simplify complex booking workflows. We need to give our organizers more powerful tools and flexibility to manage group changes, and handle real-world events with speed and ease.

WHAT YOU’LL DO DAY-TO-DAY

  • Lead a team between 6 and 10 engineers.
  • Refine our booking management lifecycle as we expand our product portfolio - removing the friction and effort required to book, manage or otherwise adjust the bookings on our platform as it grows.
  • Drive the evolution of our order management system and the engine that powers our expansion in new lines of travel products and businesses.
  • Partner with our Product, Business and Finance teams to define the strategy and execution plan for our Booking and Order management platform.
  • Lead the long-term technical strategy for the domain.
  • Lead and grow a high-performing team of engineers
  • Foster a culture of ownership, excellence and collaboration.
