Senior Full Stack Engineer

About Ascenda

Ascenda solutions make loyalty simple for financial institutions globally. Previously, these companies had to endure complex patchworks of third-party systems, mediocre user experiences, and 18-month implementation projects to deploy a competitive rewards program. We turn things upside down with loyalty solutions rooted in beautiful design, exceptional customer value, and rapid implementation.

About the Travel Platform Team

Join our Travel Platform Team to help build and roll-out our SaaS based white-label platform to our fintech and airline partners! Our Travel Platform (termed TravelEdge) enables our partners to roll out a fully customisable travel platform (hotels, flights, cars), allowing their customers to use their loyalty points on travel bookings, or earn loyalty points through travel bookings. The Travel Platform team deals not only with maintaining our configurable SaaS web platform, but also work with our high scale supplier inventory platform aggregating content from multiple suppliers. The Travel Platform team builds mainly in Ruby and Elixir in the backend, and, TypeScript (Angular) for our frontend.

In this job you will:

• Collaborate with fellow like-minded engineers to build full-stack (both frontend and backend) features on our Travel Platform
• Setup and customise new tenants on the Travel Platform to the requirements set by our customers
• Play a key role in designing and building great monitoring and observability in our products
• Be part of setting the standard for engineering best practices across the engineering organisation
• Work closely with designers, product owners, and engineers from multiple teams to develop and design solid user experiences.
• Contribute to the growth of junior developers, and of Ascenda’s engineering culture
• Have the opportunity to solve problems across multiple areas, such as performance, internationalization, and multi-tenancy

You are a good fit if you:

• Good technical background in building trafficked large scale web applications on a modern frontend and backend stack

• Have a good understanding of quality code and the role of automated testing
• You enjoy working with cross-functional teams across the organization, and across multiple geographical locations
