Virtual Interlining offers customers additional travel options by combining together multiple individual travel segments through self-transfers. These unique itineraries unlock new destinations, save customers time and money, and offer customers increased selection when they are booking travel. Hopper has developed its own Virtual Interlining engine and has been selling this content within our OTA business for several years. More recently, we’ve started to offer this type of content to other businesses selling travel. The HTS Connect team is responsible for getting Virtual Interline content to our partners via APIs or direct SDK integrations, as well as writing and maintaining solutions for white label portals that we build for our partners.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design and scale our forward distribution systems and deliver content to our partners.
