Did you know Hopper's technology powers some of the largest travel portals in the world? Our Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS) platform drives travel purchases for major global brands — from banks to airlines to fintech leaders. This platform is essentially a configurable, multi-tenant travel commerce engine, enabling partners to launch world-class hotel and travel booking experiences faster, with less custom engineering. We’re looking for a senior software engineer who has adopted the best practices in terms of AI-assisted coding. You are not using AI to auto-complete your code; you are using multiple agents to autonomously deliver features at a speed that was impossible a few months ago. You understand well the strengths and weaknesses of LLMs, and you know how to build a feedback loop and guardrails to get the best out of them.
Tech stack
- Our backend systems are written in Scala, and we use a suite of GCP services
- Our frontends are web apps using react + typescript
What Your Day-to-day Would Look Like
- Identify and execute improvements to the code base to allow agents to go faster and safer.
- Work with a group of top-tier engineers in a low-process environment powered by trust and high autonomy.
- Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously by leveraging AI to author the thoughtful documentation and specifications that guide the team.
- Ship fast. Learn fast. Repeat. Orchestrate AI agents to build new features from top to bottom, from UX to database, with minimal oversight.
- Architect the scalable solutions and foundational patterns that allow us to efficiently launch new portals.
- Proven experience training, deploying and iteratively optimizing LLMs to power complex product features.
- Work directly with PMs and business partners to define and refine our roadmap; your voice and technical vision matter.
- Collaborate with a diverse group of people, giving and receiving the high-level feedback necessary for growth.
An ideal candidate has
- A natural drive to fearlessly deep dive into an unknown code base while keeping their eyes on the goal to deliver results fast.
- Proven ability to direct AI agents and automated workflows to architect, implement, and maintain complex software systems with minimal human intervention.
- Expertise in designing the technical guardrails and automated feedback loops that maximize the productivity and reliability of AI agents operating within the codebase.
- Strong product thinking where your conception of quality and architecture is inherently anchored in the customer experience.
- Experience with, or a mastery-level willingness to learn, distributed system development in Scala.
Perks and Benefits of working with us
- Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and the upsides of pre-IPO equity packages.
- Unlimited PTO.
- Carrot Cash travel stipend.
- Access to co-working space on demand through FlexDesk AND Work-from-home stipend.
- Please ask us about our very generous parental leave, much above industry standards!.
- Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.
- Open communication with management and company leadership.
- Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
- 100% employer paid Medical, Dental and Vision coverage for employees.
- Access to Disability & Life insurance.
- Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
- DCA/ FSA and access to 401k plan.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Cloud Software Engineer Jobs at Hopper Jobs
Align your skills with Hopper's cloud stack
Hopper's platform handles real-time pricing and inventory at scale, so experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, or cloud-native tooling on AWS or GCP is directly relevant. Tailor your resume to reflect that specific domain before applying.
Confirm H-1B specialty occupation early
Cloud Software Engineer roles at Hopper involve specialized technical judgment, not generalist IT work. Before your offer stage, verify the job description explicitly ties the role to a specific field of study, since USCIS scrutinizes specialty occupation claims for engineering titles.
Target roles referencing infrastructure or platform engineering
Hopper's open Cloud Software Engineer listings vary in scope. Roles labeled platform, infrastructure, or reliability engineering tend to carry stronger specialty occupation arguments, which matters for H-1B petition strength. Filter listings with that framing in mind.
Ask about LCA filing timing during offer negotiation
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application with DOL before USCIS can process your H-1B petition. Confirm with Hopper's hiring team whether they use outside counsel and what their typical turnaround is, so you can plan your start date realistically.
Prepare credential documentation for travel industry hiring
Hopper's technical interviews often assess system design for high-concurrency environments. Alongside your immigration documents, gather evidence of past projects involving large-scale data pipelines or booking systems, since these also strengthen your specialty occupation narrative in the H-1B petition.
Use Migrate Mate to track open roles by sponsorship history
Cloud Software Engineer openings at Hopper can move quickly. Use Migrate Mate to filter current listings by verified sponsorship history for this role type, so you're applying to positions where visa support is already established rather than guessing.

Find Cloud Software Engineer at Hopper JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Hopper sponsor H-1B visas for Cloud Software Engineers?
Yes, Hopper sponsors H-1B visas for Cloud Software Engineers. The company has a documented history of filing H-1B petitions for technical roles, and Cloud Software Engineering falls within the specialty occupation category USCIS requires. If you receive an offer, confirm with the recruiting team that your specific role is included in their sponsorship program before signing.
How do I apply for Cloud Software Engineer jobs at Hopper?
You can find current Cloud Software Engineer openings at Hopper through Migrate Mate, which filters listings by verified sponsorship history so you know upfront whether a role supports visa applicants. Once you identify a match, apply directly through Hopper's careers portal. Tailor your application to highlight distributed systems or cloud infrastructure experience, since that aligns with the technical scope of most Hopper engineering roles.
Which visa types does Hopper commonly use for Cloud Software Engineer roles?
Hopper sponsors both H-1B and Green Card pathways, including EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based immigrant visa categories, for Cloud Software Engineers. The H-1B is the primary nonimmigrant route for this role type. If you're further along in your career and pursuing permanent residence, ask Hopper's HR team whether they initiate PERM labor certification for this position level.
What qualifications does Hopper expect for Cloud Software Engineer candidates?
Hopper's Cloud Software Engineer roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. Beyond credentials, the company looks for hands-on experience with cloud-native architectures, large-scale distributed systems, and real-time data processing. Experience in a travel technology or high-throughput consumer platform environment strengthens your application, as Hopper's infrastructure operates under significant concurrency demands.
How do I time my application around the H-1B cap and Hopper's hiring cycle?
USCIS opens H-1B cap registration each March for an October 1 start date. If you need a new H-1B, Hopper would need to have your offer finalized before that registration window opens. If you're already in H-1B status with another employer, Hopper can file an H-1B transfer petition at any time of year, and you can begin working once USCIS issues a receipt notice under portability rules.
