About airfairness
Airfairness is a Canadian travel tech company helping air passengers get the compensation they deserve when flights are delayed, cancelled, or rerouted. Most travellers don't know their rights or how to start a claim --- that's where we come in. Our platform makes it quick and easy to check if you're eligible, and if you are, we handle the entire process for you.
From dealing with airlines to navigating international regulations, we take care of the hard part. We only get paid if you win. Built by travellers who were tired of the system, airfairness exists to make sure you never miss a chance to get what you're owed.
Position Overview
We're looking for Software Developers to help build airfairness 2.0 --- the next generation of our platform that empowers air travellers to claim compensation with ease. In this role, you'll work closely with our product team to design, develop, and deploy scalable features that simplify complex regulations and automate the claims process. If you're passionate about clean code, smart systems, and using tech to level the playing field for consumers, we'd love to meet you.
How We Work
At Airfairness, we thrive in an innovative environment where the platform is constantly evolving. We embrace new technologies, tools, and approaches to stay ahead in the travel tech space, always looking for smarter ways to deliver value to our users.
Our culture is built on collaboration and trust --- we value both individual ownership and the power of working as a team. Transparent communication is core to how we operate, with regular feedback and open dialogue that support continuous improvement, personal growth, and shared success.
Who You Are
You're an early-career developer who wants to work on meaningful software --- not just toy problems or internal dashboards. We're looking for someone who's:
- Comfortable writing frontend or backend code (or both)
- Excited to build real product features from scratch, not just iterate on existing ones
- Motivated by user experience and building tools that make complex things feel easy
- Curious about how different systems work together
- Comfortable asking questions, giving feedback, reviewing pull requests and working with a remote team
- Responsible and self-motivated --- you'll have support, but we're not micromanagers
What You'll Do
We're hiring multiple developers to help build airfairness 2.0 --- so you don't need to check every single box. If you're strong in either frontend or backend (or both), we'd love to hear from you. The more you can contribute, the more opportunities you'll have to shape how this platform is built.
You'll join a small, fast-moving team and ship features end-to-end. A typical week might see you:
- Design \& build product features across the stack -- from React components to APIs and background jobs
- Craft user flows like our multi-step claim wizard, complete with real-time validations and accessible UX
- Integrate external data (flight history, weather, payments) and model it cleanly
- Automate the boring stuff -- queues, file storage, headless bots
- Write tests \& observability hooks (Jest, Cypress, OpenTelemetry) to keep quality high as we deploy daily
- Collaborate in code reviews and pair sessions, giving and receiving feedback that makes us all better
- Demo your work to product, design, and ops, then iterate based on real-world usage
*Not every bullet will be on your plate at once. We'll match tasks to your strengths and learning goals, and rotate when you're ready for new challenges.
