About the role
- Tern can sign agencies faster than it can bring them on.
- The bottleneck isn't sales, it's that every migration still leans on manual work that should be a tool.
- If turning slow, repetitive, error-prone processes into infrastructure that just runs sounds deeply satisfying, let's talk.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end migrations for real agencies alongside the implementation team: pull data from itinerary builders, back-office accounting systems, and reporting platforms, and land it clean in Tern
- Build the reconciliation layer that proves, penny for penny, that Tern matches the source, and surfaces every discrepancy before the customer does
- Own and harden the partner-network sync infrastructure and one-way agency syncs: keep advisor data flowing reliably, catch the cases where syncs silently drift, and bring fragile no-code flows in-house as maintainable code
- High agency. You take a planned backlog and execute without needing every ticket fully specced, and you surface the right trade-offs instead of quietly over-building.
- Background in travel tech, CRM, or partner-network / back-office integrations
- Through every peak and valley, we lead with curiosity, laughter, kindness, and resolve.
- We believe that compounding habits lead to sustainable productivity, consistency, and mutual trust.
- Strong in a backend stack and SQL, with real experience building data pipelines and background-job systems that run reliably at volume.
- You're excited to build in a space that's being defined right now, not one that's already settled.
- You take a planned backlog and execute without needing every ticket fully specced, and you surface the right trade-offs instead of quietly over-building.
