The Opportunity
At Voyage Privé, we are entering a defining moment of transformation. As a leader in the travel industry, our ambition is not only to maintain operational excellence, but to redefine it, through a large-scale digital transformation grounded in technical excellence, world-class engineering practices, and pragmatic innovation.
As technical leaders, our objective is to evolve from legacy foundations toward a forward-compatible, high-performance architecture, designed with scalability, resilience, and velocity in mind, guided by the engineering rigor and pragmatic excellence demonstrated by world-class companies like Google, Stripe, GitLab, and Netflix.
To succeed, we’re building an elite group of engineers who will drive this transformation from within. The Staff Software Engineer role is at the heart of this effort, providing hands-on architectural leadership, raising engineering standards, mentoring engineers across squads, and shaping the long-term technical foundation of our company.
This is the right time to join, your decisions will define the engineering culture, velocity, and technical maturity of the entire organization.
Your Mission
- Architect the Future: Design distributed, stateless, and scalable systems that are resilient to failure and optimized for high performance and throughput
- Stay Hands-On: Actively contribute to the codebase, prototype, implement, and review critical features. Lead by example through high-quality, pragmatic, and scalable code
- Scale What Matters: Leverage asynchronous architectures and message-driven patterns using technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, or pub/sub to improve latency, responsiveness, and decoupling of services
- Ensure Consistency and Integrity: Define and implement patterns for data consistency (eventual or strong), message ordering, and reliable state transitions across services and storage layers
- Be a Multiplier: Mentor engineers across teams, level up engineering capabilities, and help embed a culture of technical excellence and ownership
- Raise the Bar: Promote best practices in testing, observability, continuous integration, and secure software development
- Transform at Scale: Actively reduce technical debt and drive modernization strategies that improve system agility, performance, and reliability
- Partner for Impact: Collaborate with Engineering Managers, Product, and Infrastructure to influence roadmaps and shape a pragmatic, scalable architecture vision

- Strong coding skills in one or more modern languages (e.g., Java, Go, Python, TypeScript)
- Familiarity with service-oriented and event-driven architectures, eventual consistency strategies, and data synchronization mechanisms
- Mastery of CI/CD, test automation strategies, and infrastructure-as-code tooling
- Hands-on experience with secure coding practices and awareness of compliance and resilience in regulated or complex environments
