ABOUT GORDIAN Gordian is building the operating system for the airline industry and taking the friction out of travel. We started on an unsolved problem: empower travel sites to upsell seat selection, baggage and other upgrades. We’ve signed huge customers like Priceline, Hopper and Trip.com to our unique API.

Our traction speaks for itself. With twenty-five people, we have annualized revenue of over $13m, backing from investors including Y Combinator, the ex-CEO of Skyscanner and the founders of Plaid, and our rapid growth is accelerating.

We move fast, have a high impact culture, and work in a great hybrid-remote environment. Get to know our culture and values here. Join our team to create the future of air travel.

Our core services are built in Python, Flask, Postgres, with Redis on the backend and React on the front end. We have some services in Node, Express, Vue, and MongoDB. We deploy on Heroku, Netlify, and AWS. Some interesting problems we're solving:

• Tracking millions of dollars of complex financial flows between travel companies and airlines
• Scalability - our monthly growth rates require us to continually think and make technology decisions against an ever increasing number of users, partners, and API requests
• Expanding the number of products we offer, building in-house ancillary products from end to end
• Anomaly detection across airline/travel website pairs. Many times we tell airlines they are down before they know
• Data modeling to provide a simple, clean API format across 140 airlines' different product sets.
