Company Description

At Longtail we are building an intelligent, autonomous decision streaming platform for airlines. We build humanly impossible workflows by overlaying scalable & granular automation with proprietary algorithms and rich contextual data. The decisions are streamed in real-time directly to airline systems. Current applications built on our platform allow airlines to offer every possible travel product through their network, providing travelers with more travel options in thousands of routes around the world. And we are building more!

The Position

Made up of several sub-components tied together by orchestration, these multi-step decision systems have continuously evolving algorithms, processing large volumes of data at scale and making millions of decisions along the way. The decisions are streamed directly into airline systems. We are looking for future engineering leaders with a customer-first mindset and the ability to collaborate with business teams, data vendors, and customers.
