The Mandate: Architecting a Global Travel Powerhouse
Our client is an established leader in the ultra-luxury travel and concierge space, catering to a global network of UHNWI members. We are seeking a Technical Founder-Figure who possesses deep, intuitive knowledge of the travel and hospitality ecosystem. This is a "Blank Canvas" opportunity for a leader who has spent their career navigating the unique technical challenges of travel inventory, booking logistics, and high-end marketplace engines.
The Strategic Challenge: Legacy-to-Future Migration
The platform currently operates on a legacy Magento framework. Your primary mission is to architect and execute a total transition away from this monolithic structure toward a modern, headless, and API-first architecture. This is not a role for a generalist; it requires a specialist who has previously solved the specific "tech debt" issues found in high-scale travel distribution systems.
Key Responsibilities
Next-Gen Architecture: Lead the wide-scale release of a proprietary platform capable of handling complex travel logic, GDS/OTA integrations, and elite lifestyle APIs.
80% Builder Execution: You will act as the lead architect and builder, writing core code and establishing the "Golden Path" before scaling an elite global team.
Inventory Mastery: Solve the technical challenges of real-time travel inventory, dynamic pricing, and secure payment gateways for high-value transactions.
Fortress-Level Security: Design a cloud infrastructure specifically tailored to protect the sensitive data and digital privacy of the global elite.
The Specific Profile We Seek
Industry Pedigree: You must have a minimum of 12 years of technical mastery, with significant leadership experience specifically within Travel Technology (OTA), Hospitality SaaS, or Luxury Concierge platforms .
Domain Expertise: You possess a deep understanding of the "plumbing" of the travel world—GDS (Amadeus/Sabre), PMS integrations, API-based inventory management, and the unique UX/UI expectations of ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
Migration Track Record: Proven success in moving high-transaction commerce platforms from legacy monoliths (Magento/Shopify Plus) to modern, decoupled microservices.
Technical Stack: Expert proficiency in modern back-end languages (Go, Python, or Node.js) and cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/GCP).
Competitive Executive Base Salary + Performance Bonus.
Significant Equity / ESOP participation.
100% Remote flexibility, globally.
The opportunity to build the infrastructure for a global $1T luxury brand from scratch.
Note for Applicants: We are focusing our selection on candidates with a documented history of technical leadership within the Travel & Hospitality sector. All inquiries will be handled with the highest level of executive confidentiality.
