About The Job
- At HTS, we're rebuilding how travelers shop and book trips — and reshaping how hotel distributors, chains, and OTAs monetize flexibility.
- Hotels CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) is one of HTS's fastest growing fintech products: a cancellation service embedded directly into partner booking flows.
- We're looking for an engineering leader who can run a high performing product team and be a credible, partner facing technical leader.
What Would Your Day to day Look Like
- Lead the architecture, development, and rollout of the Hotels CFAR platform — including offer/pricing/order/exercise APIs, the merchandising and UI SDK layer, synthetic rate bundling, and the exercise/payout infrastructure.
- Own partner integrations end to end: scope technical solutions, lead solutioning calls, design integration patterns, and partner with sales and Solutions to move partners from Discovery → Solutioning → Development → Live.
- Drive the foundation work that lets us scale: partner management portal, configuration tooling, self serve onboarding.
- Be the senior technical voice in partner conversations — translate between partner engineering teams, our APIs, and our product strategy; own SLAs, performance, and partner specific requirements.
- Partner with Product, Risk/Pricing, Ops, and GTM to align engineering output to business outcomes: attach rate, contribution profit, partner launch velocity, and loss ratio.
- Foster technical excellence — architecture reviews, mentorship, raising the bar on the senior ICs and tech leads on the team.
An Ideal Candidate Has
- Experience leading engineering teams building B2B/B2B2C platforms with real, named external partners on the other side — not just internal stakeholders.
- A strong technical background across backend systems (APIs, orchestration, distributed systems), frontend SDKs / embedded UI, and cloud infrastructure.
- Direct experience as a partner/customer facing technical leader — running solutioning calls, scoping integrations, owning SLAs, and unblocking deployments.
- Comfort with fintech, insurance adjacent, or transactional products — money movement, refunds, pricing engines, contracts, audit trails.
- Familiarity with the travel distribution landscape is a bonus — booking engines, agent portals, bedbanks, OTAs, PSS/inventory platforms (Sabre, Amadeus), or hotel CRS/chain systems — is a strong plus.
- Experience with Scala or Java, REST APIs, OAuth2.0, and cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS); frontend exposure (React, JS/TS) for SDK and merchandising work.
- A collaborative, product minded approach — able to partner closely with Sales, Product, Risk, and Ops without losing engineering rigor.
- A bias for action and a passion for mentoring and growing senior engineering talent.
