We've also been recognized as a LinkedIn Top Startup 2024, Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2025 and 2023, and we were most recently recognized as one of the TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2026.

We're building the first truly unified platform for all travel needs—leveraging the best of human expertise and technology to transform how people plan and book travel.

About The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior/Staff Full Stack Engineer to join the Finance Pod, which builds and maintains the complex systems that power advisor payments at Fora. This pod owns the end-to-end advisor payment system and experience (covering booking data ingestion, commission collection, and payouts), and is expanding quickly into new fintech and payment products.

In this role, you’ll work across the stack to design, build, and iterate on both advisor-facing experiences and internal tools that support reconciliation, data accuracy, and integrations with payment partners. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Operations to bring trust, visibility, and efficiency to every interaction involving advisor earnings. Example projects include building smart visualizations for the Payments page, shaping our traveler invoicing experience, building payout statuses and notifications in the Advisor Portal, and integrating with new financial platforms and services.

Our ideal candidate is a versatile engineer who loves working on both user-facing features and the backend systems that power them—someone with a strong product mindset, attention to detail, and interest in fintech, payments, or financial infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Partner cross-functionally with Product Managers, Designers, and other engineers to define and prioritize the roadmap for advisor payments, commissions, and revenue tracking tools
Build full-stack features that allow advisors to view payment statuses, reconcile bookings, and manage service fees or commissions
Work on backend services that support payout routing, reconciliation logic, and financial data modeling
Collaborate with frontend engineers to create data-rich, intuitive experiences around money movement and financial transparency
Own projects from concept through delivery—design, implementation, testing, and iteration
Ensure high standards for code quality, scalability, and system reliability across both frontend and backend layers

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in frontend web development
3+ years experience using React / Vue.js / Angular.io
3+ years experience in backend web development (e.g. Python, Django / Flask / equivalent)
Experience building data-driven, event-based applications that surface complex financial or transactional data to users
Experience with relational databases and ORMs, particularly in integration-heavy or FinTech contexts
Understanding of transactional accuracy, double-entry accounting, and ledger design
Strong communication and collaboration skills; ability to thrive in a cross-functional team
An entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to own outcomes end-to-end

Compensation

Compensation for this role varies based on experience, with an indicative range of $180K–$225K + equity. Final compensation will depend on the level at which the candidate is hired, as we’re considering multiple levels for this role.

Unlimited vacation
Health Insurance (including an option completely covered by Fora HQ)
Dental & Vision Insurance
Wellhub Memberships
401k plan with company match

Stock Options

This role is based in New York City with a hybrid WFH & office schedule (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are our Tribeca in-office days, with flexibility for Wednesday and Friday at your preference).
