3 hours ago

Roame is a flight and hotel search engine for points and miles, saving travelers thousands on business/first class bookings.
The company is profitable, relies on revenue, not runway, and offers a loved product within the points and miles community.
This role is the top engineering position, owning engineering, setting technical direction for Go backend and web app, and overseeing iOS API decisions.
Key responsibilities include finishing migration to a modern Go service architecture, owning money-moving systems, and raising engineering standards.
Work culture emphasizes writing specs before building, test-first approach, shipping in small increments, and direct disagreement.
First 90 days involve shipping to production in week 1, owning booking/checkout by day 30, owning migration plan by day 60, retiring legacy architecture by day 90.
AI is heavily used; candidates must skillfully distinguish good AI-generated code from bad and build guardrails for reliable output.
Requirements: 4-6+ years experience, Go and TypeScript strength, ownership of systems that broke, completed hard migrations, shipped money-moving code, and leadership without giving up coding.
Not a fit for those wanting greenfield work, rewriting before understanding, needing handed priorities, or unable to distinguish slop from non-slop.
Compensation: $175-250k base salary plus 0.5%-2% equity, depending on experience and US location.
