At Vio.com we believe booking accommodation should feel smart, fair, and effortless — never overwhelming or unclear.
As one of the world’s fastest-growing travel tech platforms, we help millions of users make smarter travel decisions by comparing stays across 100+ booking sites — so they can find the perfect place, at the best price, anywhere in the world. We cut through the noise and complexity of hotel and vacation rental booking, surfacing real value with clarity, transparency, and full support. No tricks. No confusion. Just great stays — booked with confidence. With operations in over 100 markets and growing rapidly, our mission is to reshape how people discover and book accommodations through technology that travelers can trust.
We are seeking a Backend Engineer to join our Online Travel Agency team and help us develop and enhance tools that align with our vision to redefine how travelers book worldwide. You'll help build advanced services that empower customers to discover and secure the best accommodations with complete transparency.
We utilize a modern backend stack comprising Elixir, AWS (ECS, DynamoDB, EventBridge, SQS, etc.), and additional tools. We work closely with our customers; therefore, anything you develop and ship to production will have an immediate impact on our customers and our business performance.
Our cross-functional team delivers results by making data-driven decisions with customers at the center of everything we do. We value collaboration and efficiency.
What will you do?
Design and ship small features independently. For larger features, collaborate on design and implementation with support from senior engineers.
Work in a cross-functional team to solve challenging problems, and build products.
Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvements regarding performance, reliability, and code quality.
Contribute to design discussions and technical docs. Seek support from experienced colleagues when designing complex features.
Contribute to scoped infrastructure improvements and reliability within the team’s domain.
Report to the Engineering Manager for effective communication and alignment.
Who are we looking for?
You have 3+ years of proven track record shipping backend features in production, experience with two or more programming languages, and you're excited to learn Elixir if you don't already know it.
You have a strong commitment to writing tests, code quality, maintainability, and treat documentation as a first-class citizen.
You have a sense of pragmatism, constantly finding the right balance between achieving technical excellence and delivering value to the entire company.
You have a growth mindset and “can-do” attitude, willing to improve your knowledge and take on more responsibilities.
You take advantage of AI tools to achieve your goals.
You perform constructive code reviews and give clear feedback.
You understand how your work impacts team metrics and customer outcomes.
