Our mission is to enable every person on Earth to travel freely.
Travel should feel exciting. Instead, too much of it is still defined by paperwork, uncertainty, and processes that were never designed for travellers.
Atlys is changing that.
We’re building an AI-first platform that removes friction and uncertainty from travel. To date, we’ve processed visas for 1M+ travellers across 127 countries. But we’re still early.
The RoleTravel is one of the consumer categories where the hard part isn't discovery, it's execution. Booking a flight takes seconds. Actually getting on it means visas, permits, documents, eligibility rules and deadlines spread across government and partner systems that don't talk to each other and don't behave the same way twice.
Atlys is rebuilding that layer across 127 destination countries. Every one is a long-running, stateful workflow with an anxious traveller on one end and an unpredictable third-party system on the other. That makes travel an unusually good problem for agentic systems, and unusually unforgiving of how they normally fail. A demo that works 80% of the time is worthless when the failure mode is someone missing a flight.
You'll own three of our most critical teams: AI, Backend and Infrastructure. You'll set technical direction, build engineering leaders, and keep the systems underneath Atlys scaling as product, traffic and complexity compound. You report directly to the CTO.
Build multi-agent systems that carry real business outcomes. Stateless agents on durable execution, so a workflow spanning days can retry, resume and hand off to a human without corrupting state. You own the harness, the eval infrastructure, the guardrails, and the cost and latency envelope that decides whether any of it is viable in production.
Scale the core backend architecture. Traffic, product surface and country-specific complexity are all growing at once. Keep p99s flat while they do, and make the architectural bets early enough that they're still cheap.
Strengthen infrastructure and developer velocity through better deployment systems, observability, automation and internal tooling. Product teams should ship without filing a ticket against your org. Golden paths over gatekeeping.
Reduce operational complexity through platform engineering and Infrastructure as Code, moving toil out of product teams and into systems that manage themselves.
Build an engineering organisation that scales. Hire exceptional people, grow managers and senior ICs into leaders, and hold a technical bar that doesn't quietly drift down as headcount goes up.
The Ideal Candidate
You'll likely thrive here if you:
Have 10+ years in engineering, including 3+ leading multiple teams or leading managers in a high-growth environment.
Have shipped multi-agent systems to real users, and can talk concretely about evals, regression detection, failure containment, and what they cost to run.
Have built or operated systems on durable execution (Temporal, Restate, Cadence, or something homegrown), and understand why stateless agents plus durable orchestration beats the alternatives.
Have worked on developer platforms, automation systems, AI infrastructure or large-scale data and signals platforms.
Have a track record of hiring, coaching and growing engineers and engineering leaders, with a high bar for ownership and execution you can defend with specifics.
We hire exceptional people for their craft, not travel enthusiasts. We solve hard problems that happen to touch global travel and government infrastructure.
What you can expectAtlys is built by a small team with outsized ambition, high ownership, and an obsession with doing great work.
Here’s what you can expect:
Competitive compensation and equity so you participate in the value you help create.
Comprehensive health insurance covering you and your family, plus annual preventive health check-up on us.
A thoughtful leave policy with paid time off and company holidays, because great work also requires real time off.
Lunch, high tea and dinner at the office, so the basics are taken care of while we build together.
Learning & development credits to invest in courses, books, conferences and tools that help you get better at your craft.
Relocation support to make moving closer to the team as seamless as possible.
Great tools to do your best work, including high-spec equipment and software.
An office designed for more than just work, with pickleball, table tennis, PlayStation, an arcade game room, an F1 simulator and even a full flight simulator.
Our values shape how we make decisions, work together and build for travelers. The bar is high, the pace is fast, and the way we work is deliberate. Read them before you apply. If this environment energizes you, you’ll probably thrive here. If it doesn’t, it’s better to know that upfront.
