Contract Software Engineer Optum Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Good integrations are invisible. Come build the ones travel agencies never have to think about.
At Travefy, we treat engineering as craft, not ticket clearing. Every integration, every dashboard, every shipped feature makes a travel advisor's day a little easier and their business a little stronger. If you like owning a problem end to end and shipping work you are proud of, keep reading.

About Travefy

Travefy is the leading platform for travel agencies and advisors, trusted by more than 50,000 travel brands globally. Travel agencies and advisors use our platform to sell trips, manage clients, and run smoother operations. We move fast, ship often, and care about quality. You will join a lean engineering team and own clearly scoped projects through delivery.

The setup you are signing up for

This is a full time independent contractor role, fully remote, paid as a monthly engagement. We are looking for a long term teammate, not a short term or project based contractor. We want someone who will grow with us, take ownership, and stay invested as the team and the work evolve.

You will work with a US based team lead, so we expect a few hours of daily overlap with US working hours for standups, reviews, and pairing. Exact overlap is flexible and we will agree on it together.

This is an async friendly team. We care more about clear communication and shipped, tested work than about hours logged. Scope and coverage can shift over time as the team grows, and we will always be upfront with you about that.

What you will do

You will build integrations between Travefy and third party services, along with the front end that surfaces them. You will also take on other tightly scoped, contained projects such as self contained dashboards and reporting views. Each project comes with clear acceptance criteria, and you own it from first commit through tested, reviewed, and ready to ship.
This is not a ticket factory. We care about thoughtful design, solid test coverage, and code the next engineer can pick up without friction.

Our stack

• Back end: C# and .NET on AWS.
• Front end: React and Ember.js.
• Integrations: REST and JSON APIs, OAuth 2.0, and webhooks.

Required skills

• Integrations: proven track record building production integrations with REST and JSON APIs, OAuth 2.0, and webhooks, including error handling, retries, and idempotency.
• Front end: strong React, and a willingness to work in Ember.js, enough to build the UI that surfaces your integrations and to deliver contained dashboards and reporting views (Ember experience is a plus but you can ramp into it).
• Back end: solid C# and .NET, building and consuming production APIs.
• Testing discipline: automated tests covering both happy path and failure modes.
• Clear written English: communicates progress and blockers proactively and works well async.

Nice to have

• AWS experience.
• Ember.js in production.
• Prior SaaS product work.

What winning in this role looks like

• You ship tightly scoped projects that meet their acceptance criteria, fully tested and review ready.
• Your integrations handle the messy cases gracefully, with sensible retries, idempotency, and error handling.
• Your written updates make it easy for the team lead to know exactly where things stand.
• You leave the codebase and docs a little better than you found them.
• The team trusts you to take a problem and run with it.
