About the Role
⚙️ Staff Engineer, AI Transformation and Platform
📍 Fully Remote, India
🧠 Lead AI transformation. Then build the future of travel.
💼 Fully Employed for FlyFairly (flyfairly.com) with EXT India (extindia.com) as EoR
💰 A competitive compensation package ranging 21 - 28 LPA
About Fly Fairly
Fly Fairly is one of the world's fastest-growing travel tech startups, reimagining how the world books flights.
Headquartered in Singapore, we're backed by a team that's built eBay, Agoda, Booking.com, ShopBack, and Hoolah. We're not your typical OTA. We're building a consumer product that integrates BNPL, crypto payments, and agentic AI, covering everything from price tracking to carbon scoring to smart redemptions.
We're live in 10+ countries including the US, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. If you want to be part of a rocket ship with strong unit economics, big ambitions, and zero bureaucracy, this is your launchpad.
We are not looking for a PowerPoint architect. We want an engineer who can sit with a CFO one morning and ship production-grade TypeScript by afternoon.

Apply now if you're an engineer who doesn't just want to ship tickets, you want to rewire how a company thinks, builds, and operates using AI. Own the transformation. Then own the product.
Why This Role Exists
We're hiring a Staff Engineer to lead AI transformation across the entire Fly Fairly business — and then stay to build the products that come out of it.
This is a two-phase role.
- Phase 1 (first 3 months, will also act as a probation period): You're embedded as our AI transformation owner. You go deep with every department, marketing, ops, CX, finance, product, map how they actually work, and redesign those workflows around modern AI tooling. You also architect and build our company-wide internal LLM platform: a central backbone of prompts, agents, knowledge, and tools the whole org can use safely.
- Phase 2: You continue as a full-time Staff / Lead Engineer. You own a meaningful domain inside the flights platform or our wider group portfolio, and you bring everything you built in Phase 1 with you.This is a rare role. It's part consultant, part architect, part builder, and it has a clear runway into AI and tech leadership."
What You'll Do
⚙️ Run structured AI discovery sessions with every department, map the highest-leverage pain points and redesign workflows around them
🏗️ Architect and build a company-wide internal LLM platform: prompt libraries, agents, evals, access controls, and cost management
🔧 Write production-grade code in TypeScript, Next.js, React, and Node.js — you're hands-on, not advisory-only
🧪 Make sharp build-vs-buy calls on tooling and vendors, and defend those calls with clear reasoning
📈 Upskill non-technical teams so they adopt AI responsibly and effectively in their day-to-day
🚀 In Phase 2, own a technical domain end-to-end and ship meaningful product work across the flights platform or a sister product in our group
What are you ideally made of?
🌟 Deep, demonstrable experience leveraging AI in production, you know the strengths and failure modes of major LLM providers and have real opinions about what actually works
🏭 Proven track record redesigning business processes with AI, you've helped marketing, ops, CX, or finance teams genuinely adopt AI for real use cases, not just demos
🏗️ Staff or Lead level architectural skills, you design systems that scale, connect cleanly across teams, and hold up under real traffic
🧠 Exceptional critical thinking and first-principles problem solving, you produce out-of-the-box solutions to genuinely ambiguous problems
💻 Strong hands-on engineering in React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript with a track record of shipping production-grade web apps
💬 Excellent consulting and communication skills, you can sit with a CFO, understand their world, and translate it into a technical plan they trust
⚡ Startup or high-growth environment experience required. We're looking for builders, not passengers
🎯 Bonus: experience with RAG, vector databases, agentic systems, or internal LLM gateways in production
Why This Role Is Special
💥 Zero busy work. Phase 1 is real transformation work with measurable business impact, not a proof of concept
🏢 Cross-company visibility. Fly Fairly sits inside a broader group portfolio and this role spans all of it
🚪 Access and acceleration. Direct line to the Head of Engineering, Chief of Staff, and founders from day one
🤝 Colleagues with experience from Agoda, Booking.com, eBay, and ShopBack
🌍 Fully remote. India-based, globally connected
What You'll Get
🎓 Mentorship from people who've built at billion-dollar companies
🌏 A global team with deep networks across travel, fintech, and AI
🎯 Career clarity with a defined path into AI architecture and product leadership
🛫 A front-row seat building the future of travel, a and the AI stack behind it
