Booking business or first class with points instead of cash saves travelers thousands of dollars on a single trip. The hard part is finding the seats. Award space is scattered across dozens of airline and hotel programs, it moves constantly, and the best deals get taken. Doing it by hand means hours across a dozen browser tabs, and often days. Roame finds those deals in seconds. Members also book hotels through us and get our commission rebated back to them immediately. Roame was founded by Tim and Zi. Tim spent the previous decade covering consumer and travel companies on the hedge fund side. Zi ran data encryption systems at Airbnb. We started Roame after losing dozens of hours hunting for first class award space to Asia across a dozen browser tabs. Award travel is a data problem. Humans shouldn't have to solve it by hand. AI writes great code and it writes bad code, sometimes in the same file. Getting the good version every time is the actual skill, and it's the one we're hiring for. Knowing what to specify up front. Knowing when a human has to stay in the loop. Knowing when to throw the output away instead of patching it. Building the guardrails that make good output the default instead of the lucky case. Our habits around specs and tests exist because they're what make agent assisted work trustworthy at speed. Go, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Postgres, Protobuf. Swift on iOS, which you won't be expected to write. $175-250k base depending on experience and location in the US Roame is Google Flights for your credit card points and miles. We search across airlines to find the best flight redemptions to help users maximize their points.
