Enable VIC: The Intelligence Layer for Luxury Travel
Enable VIC is building the world’s first AI-powered intelligence platform for luxury travel management. We are transforming how elite lifestyle managers serve ultra-high-net-worth clients by creating a unified system that ingests, validates, and surfaces critical travel intelligence—from complex partnership commissions to personalized client preferences.
We are solving a high-stakes data orchestration problem where accuracy is the foundation of reputation. We are looking for a Founding Engineer to co-architect the backbone of this platform.
The Problems You’ll Solve
* High-Fidelity Extraction: Build resilient pipelines to transform unstructured data (PDFs, contracts, emails) into a structured, high-accuracy registry using LLMs.
* Personalization Engine: Develop logic to map complex \"VIC\" (Very Important Client) profiles against property attributes to surface hyper-relevant travel recommendations.
* Intelligent Drafting: Build tools that assist managers in drafting complex itineraries, leveraging RAG to ensure every recommendation is backed by real-time perks and partnership data.
* System Orchestration: Design reliable, async environments for LLM tasks, ensuring source traceability and 99%+ data reliability across 600+ travel-specific data points.
* Product Evolution: Design elegant APIs for our Flutter-based frontend and implement semantic search features that understand the nuance of \"luxury.\"
What Success Looks Like
* Phase 1: Audit the MVP, stabilize core patterns, and establish a scalable architectural roadmap.
* Phase 2: Move from a functional prototype to a production-grade system capable of handling 10x data volume without regression.
* Phase 3: Influence technical culture, own end-to-end deployments, and help scale the engineering team.
What We’re Looking For
* Founding Mindset: 5+ years of experience building production-grade systems. You enjoy the 0→1 phase and take extreme ownership of the \"how.\"
* AI/LLM Pragmatism: You’ve shipped LLM features to production. You understand prompt engineering, structured outputs, and the challenges of non-deterministic systems.
* Full-Stack Depth: Strong in at least one backend language (Python, Node.js, Go) with deep knowledge of database design, schema evolution, and indexing.
* Technical Judgment: You know when to build, when to buy, and when to refactor. You prioritize \"boring\" reliability for mission-critical data.
Our Tech Direction
We currently utilize Node.js, Python, MongoDB, and AWS/GCP, with a Flutter frontend. As a founding member, you will have a decisive vote on our database strategy (e.g., Postgres/pgvector), queue management, and stack consolidation.
Why Enable VIC?
* Real Influence: You aren't inheriting a legacy; you are building the foundation.
* Complex Challenges: We are building the \"Bloomberg Terminal for Luxury Travel\"—a mix of high-speed data and high-touch personalization.
* Direct Impact: Your work directly empowers advisors managing the world’s most complex travel itineraries.
