Team Mission

The TARS team builds the critical infrastructure that helps millions of travelers when plans change or things go wrong. The team operates across two major initiatives: flexibility tools that enable travelers to reschedule, modify or swap their bookings, and a live chat platform powered by an autonomous AI agent that handles complex traveler questions and requests at scale.

In 2026, the team is rebuilding the chat infrastructure from the ground up, creating a high-performance, scalable system that serves hundreds of thousands of daily conversations. This includes developing a custom chat UX for seamless pre-booking and post-booking support, pushing the boundaries of conversational AI.

We empower engineers with high autonomy to make decisions and act on them, balancing pragmatic and strategic tradeoffs daily. We navigate this rapidly evolving space together, and while we're driven by impact, having fun while building something great is equally important to us.

Your mission
  • Design and develop new app features focused on live chat, AI-agent integrations, and enhanced booking flexibility
  • Continuously improve our app by proactively removing tech debt and insisting on simple, scalable, and maintainable solutions
  • Take an active role in the mobile apps guild and contribute to cross-team initiatives focused on security, performance, architectural improvements, etc.
  • Support operational excellence and ongoing maintenance of our mobile apps, with a focus on reliability, quality, and engineering craftsmanship.
  • While primarily a mobile role, app engineers are expected to make small backend contributions when needed to keep work moving.
  • Collaborate closely with stakeholders to understand business needs, propose technical solutions, and deliver working software that drives measurable impact
  • Work in a cross-functional mission team alongside product managers, designers, conversational designers, and data scientists
  • Leverage AI daily to accelerate your own productivity and push the team's capabilities to the next level
  • Mentor engineers, contribute to team culture, and elevate the performance standards across the team

  • Knowledge of writing automated tests (Unit/UI/Integration tests/screenshot tests)
  • Experience with observability practices, including monitoring, alerting, and performance diagnostics

  • Experience with backend development
  • Experience with iOS development
  • Experience with other multi-platform frameworks such as React Native
  • Have one or more successful Android apps published in the Google Play store
