About Roame
Our mission is to make travel perfect. Roame is a flight search engine using credit card points and miles. More than $69 billion worth of points issued every year. We empower over 1 million travelers to maximize the value of their points and miles.
We are backed by top investors including Y Combinator, Goodwater, Accel’s starters fund, and angel investors including the leading figure within points.
The Role
We are hiring for a Lead Full Stack Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, ownership-driven environment. If you're passionate about travel, aviation, and the world of credit card points and miles—and you're excited to build from the ground up—this is your opportunity.
As our first product-focused engineering hire, you'll work directly with the CTO and collaborate closely with our engineering team. This is a hands-on role where you'll lead both frontend and backend development, contributing across the stack—from product design to growth initiatives. We value a strong sense of ownership and a willingness to take initiative.
You will be the jack of all trades for frontend and backend.
This position is based in San Francisco and requires in-person work five days a week.
What You'll Do
Own the development of our frontend application end-to-end, primarily using Next.js on Vercel.
Collaborate with the team to implement changes aligned with company goals.
Balance technical debt with engineering best practices, working backward from our objectives.
Contribute to backend development using Firebase and Go.
Explore and implement AI pipelines as part of our technology stack.
Bring a keen eye for design, focusing on user-friendly interfaces and iterative improvements.
Embrace rapid iteration cycles and quickly adapt to new ideas and knowledge.
What are we looking for?
A strong interest in travel and credit card points/miles.
4+ years of engineering experience (0-1 experience is great, but we want to see production experience); personal project counts (with large amounts of users counts!)
Have shown initiative to start outside of job projects in the relevant field, we love seeing cool personal projects with scale
You own the frontend app development from end-to-end with no guidance needed. We expect you to push us to move faster
