Senior Backend Developer (Node.js) — Repriced (via Remotesome)

About Repriced

At Repriced, we believe travelers should not pay more than they have to.

Airlines and hotels constantly change their prices, and most of the time, once you have booked, you are stuck. We are here to change that. Our platform automatically monitors your bookings and alerts you when prices drop. If we find savings, we help you secure them, whether through rebooking, refunds, or credits, so you never miss out. And the best part? It is completely risk free. We only get paid when we save you money. Repriced was founded by frequent travelers who experienced the frustration of dynamic pricing firsthand. After losing thousands of dollars to price drops, we built a smarter solution that works for everyone.

Whether you are flying across the world or booking a quick getaway, Repriced ensures you always get the best price, even after you book.
