When was the last time you were planning a business trip and really tried to save your company money? If your company allowed you to stay in a fancy hotel, would you ever volunteer to stay at an Airbnb or at a friend’s house? How about flying coach instead of business class? The vast majority of employees optimize for comfort and convenience, spending at the high end of their company policy limits, because, well, why not? So how can a company get its employees to care about expenses without implementing draconian policies, creating friction and frustrating employees? How can a company motivate its employees to save?
The answer is Rocketrip. We’re a NYC-based startup that rewards business travelers for cost-sensitive behavior. It’s a win-win: companies save, while employees cash in with real rewards.

The Role:

Rocketrip software engineers have a penchant for solving unique problems. If you love and thrive on keeping up to date with and gaining a deep understanding of the latest web technologies, you will love working with us. Rocketrip is as much about web design as it is about employing diverse areas of Computer Science, including machine learning, information retrieval, distributed computing and natural language processing to transform the professional travel industry.
Responsibilities
  • Participate within the agile development process to help build out new features to the Rocketrip platform
  • Work collaboratively with product management to iterate/refine on product requirements and deliver product features to match.
  • Contribute to the test repository for all your changes to help demonstrate that your work - works.
  • Manage the release process for your changes and push to production
  • Participate in office demos to show off changes that you've made
  • Contribute where appropriate to the engineering blog
Requirements
  • Working towards a Computer Science degree or related field
  • Experience with the creation of web applications. APIs + Web application separation.
  • You bring an understanding of what it takes to engineer software products. In other words, you understand that engineering consists of prototype > design > build > test > release
  • To reiterate, you understand that without understanding how to test, you're not an engineer.
  • Django, Python, React + Flux are big pluses
  • You have experience with Source control concepts. Git or Mercurial experience a plus.

To apply, include your resume, a link to your portfolio or work samples and a brief introduction. If you have them, include links to your GitHub accounts. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in New York City, Rocketrip is aiming to revolutionize business travel by introducing the motivation to save. We’re a group of tech innovators who looked at the current state of business travel, became frustrated by the horrible employee and employer experiences, and decided to do something big about it. Our team is focused on utilizing technology, design and data to align employee and company interests. Rocketrip is backed by a renowned set of investors and advisors, including Canaan Partners, Genacast Ventures, Y Combinator, Paul Buchheit (creator of Gmail) and CrunchFund.
