🎯 Atlys' mission is to enable every person on earth to travel freely.

At Atlys, we believe that the path to creating a more open world is by making it efficient to travel. Travelers cite visas as the most frustrating pain point, and we're starting by automating that completely. We're looking for talented people who are interested in building the future of travel alongside us.

Building technology to increase global movement liquidity will be one of the most exciting developments in decades. If you are curious why the smartest people want to work at Atlys, read this post. We’re expanding across B2C, B2E, and B2G, from seamless visa delivery to enterprise mobility solutions and government partnerships that power large scale travel infrastructure.

As VP of Engineering, you’ll be the technical backbone of this journey, leading the engineering team through scale, shaping our systems for global growth, and building a world class group of engineers who take pride in moving fast and solving hard problems.

• Operational Excellence: Establish robust development processes, CI/CD, observability, and a quality-first culture.
• Technical Vision: Define the long-term tech roadmap from infrastructure to platform capabilities.

The Ideal Candidate

• 10-15 years of engineering experience, including 3+ years in a senior leadership role.
• Proven experience scaling consumer or B2C tech platforms (bonus if global or fintech/travel domain).
• Deep technical expertise in modern architectures, microservices, distributed systems, cloud-native stacks (AWS/GCP).
• Strong understanding of backend & frontend frameworks (Python, Node, React, etc.), mobile app ecosystems, and data pipelines.
• Track record of hiring, mentoring, and scaling teams through rapid growth.
• High bias for action; thrives in fast paced, high accountability environments.

If you’re excited to help build a connected world through seamless travel experiences, we’d love to have you on our team.
