About the job
A stellar opportunity to have a massive impact on the Hopper Fintech organization. Join a rapidly growing company that is continuously redefining how people travel! Leveraging data science to solve customers’ problems is in Hopper’s DNA. While this began with helping customers plan and book travel more intelligently, we have extended our capabilities to ensure customers secure the best fares for their trips with unique product offerings like Price Freeze and Price Drop Protection.
Within the Fintech business unit, the Price Freeze team is focused on continued innovation to help customers that are not yet ready to book lock in great flight deals at a low cost. As an Engineering Manager, you will be directly responsible for our Price Freeze product and work alongside our world-class product and data teams to deliver the bleeding edge in personalized travel to an ever-growing user base! Price Freeze currently makes up almost half of Hopper’s Fintech revenue and helped drive Hopper’s growth despite the travel slowdown due to COVID-19.
More about Hopper
Today, Hopper is best known as a travel app. We're going to do about $1B in sales this year and weathered the COVID storm better than anyone expected. We just raised $170M from Goldman Sachs and Capital One, and inked a deal to be the exclusive travel provider for Capital One Travel.
We owe our success, in large part, to a proprietary suite of data-driven and risk-based financial services that we have developed that complement a customer's trip-purchasing experience. One example is Price Freeze, where our customers are able to purchase a financial option in the app to lock in any price that they see, on any item, for as short as 1 hour or as long as 21 days with Hopper taking the risk on the other side of the trade.
Hopper is an award-winning online travel marketplace. We partner with airlines, hotels, homes, and car rental providers across the globe so you can feel confident you're booking the perfect vacation at the best price.
