About Holiday Tribe:
Holiday Tribe is a next-gen travel tech company transforming how modern travelers plan and book holidays. We blend cutting-edge AI with deep travel expertise to power two key products: expert-assisted customized packages and an AI-first self-planning platform. Our mission is to bring speed, intelligence, and hyper-personalization to every holiday plan.

The Role:
We're looking for a Junior Python AI Engineer who thrives at the intersection of backend systems and applied AI. You'll help design and build core services that power our AI travel planner-everything from real-time itinerary generation to intelligent API orchestration and semantic search. You'll work with LLMs, LangGraph, and FastAPI to create a magical planning experience for modern travelers.

What You'll Do:

• Build and scale microservices using Python and FastAPI
• Implement LangGraph-based agents for travel planning workflows.
• Integrate LLM APIs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) for real-world use cases like itinerary generation and smart conversations.
• Design tool-calling systems that safely interact with our flight, hotel, and activity APIs.
• Develop semantic search features using embedding models and vector databases.
• Create orchestration layers that support multi-step travel operations (search plan book)
• Collaborate with AI engineers, product managers, and designers to ship user-facing features quickly.
• Optimize performance and reliability of real-time systems.
• Write clean, modular code and own core components of the platform.
  
  

What We're Looking For:

• 1-3 years of software engineering experience, ideally in product/startup environments
• Strong knowledge of Python, FastAPI, and RESTful APIs
• Working knowledge of LLMs, LangGraph, and prompt orchestration
• Experience with semantic search, embeddings, and vector databases (e.g., Chroma, Weaviate)
• Comfort with async programming, API integration, and real-time systems
• Strong problem-solving skills and product intuition
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ownership-driven environment

Nice to Have:

• Experience building agents or multi-step workflows with LangChain/LangGraph
• Familiarity with travel APIs (flights, hotels, activities)
• Understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines
  

Why Join Us:

• Be an early engineer shaping the core product
• Work at the bleeding edge of AI applied to travel
• Solve complex problems that impact real users
• Competitive salary
• Collaborative, builder-first culture
