Faye is the fastest-growing travel protection company in the U.S., and the highest-rated by travelers who use it trip after trip.
We’ve raised $100M to build the autonomous platform for traveler care: insurance, travel care, real-time information, and finance in one place, powered by AI and a team that moves fast.
We’re there for travelers throughout their entire journey, from the moment they book to the moment they’re back home.
The bar is a 6-star experience, 24/7: near-instant payouts, an award-winning app and real support when travel goes sideways. It’s hard to pull off. That’s the point.
Come build what’s next with us.
What you'll do
Own the backend architecture across all product domains - define patterns, set standards, and ensure hands-on involvement when it matters.
Be the go-to technical authority for backend engineers across three teams.
Identify technical debt, scalability risks, and performance bottlenecks - and drive the roadmap to address them.
Partner with team leads to elevate engineering practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD etc.
Collaborate with product and R&D leadership to align technical strategy with business goals.
Requirements
We're looking for a Backend Architect to be the technical authority across our engineering teams. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who loves diving deep into complex systems while keeping the big picture in mind.
You'll work closely with three cross-functional development teams - shaping the backend architecture, driving engineering standards, and making sure we're building for scale, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
8+ years of backend development experience, with at least 2–3 years in an architecture or principal engineer role.
Deep expertise in Node.js and NestJS.
Excellent communication skills - you can explain a complex architectural decision to an engineer and to a PM alike.
High ownership mentality - you see a problem, you drive it to resolution.
