    We founded Journera with the belief that travel can be improved if the companies involved in the travel journey connect and use their data.

    Journera is the first software platform for travel-related companies to craft more seamless, more personalized experiences for their customers. We work with some of the biggest travel brands in the world, operate at a massive scale, and are backed by elite investors.

    Who are we

    We started as a team of people involved in some of the biggest changes in travel over the past decade (including our CEO, the founding CEO of Orbitz) and entrepreneurs with multiple successful startup exits under our belt.

    Since then we have grown with people who want to be a part of this industry-shaping journey— ambitious individuals who love big challenges and want to work on cutting-edge software and data science.

    What are we

    Today, in a world where data is increasingly the currency in which companies do business, travel data is still under-leveraged and under-valued. We are building the platform that will allow travel providers, marketers, and application developers to fuel a new wave of innovation that will make the traveler experience richer and more seamless.

    The core of our platform is our Global Experience Record (GXR) which takes a 360° view of the traveler’s journey, and the data that goes along with it. Beyond that, we provide a standards-based architecture for data exchange, and services for our customers based on the data that flows through our platform

    Why should you consider joining?

    We believe the diverse perspectives of our employees enrich our company, our teams, and the products that we build. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture that helps employees thrive as their true, authentic selves with a workplace built on merit and equity.

    We don’t believe you have to work ungodly hours to be a successful start-up. We support fully remote employees, across all of our teams. With our unlimited vacation, family leave, and our benefits to encourage travel and community involvement, we do our best to support you both at work and outside of work.

    Your personal development goals should be, well, personal. Let us help you -- and invest in you -- as you discover more about the career path that best suits you. We believe in promoting from within our organization first and developing the future leaders of our company and beyond. We also have a guest speaker series where we bring in interesting people and leaders to discuss their careers, perspectives, and passions with our whole company.

    With remote colleagues, we can’t gather around the water cooler in real life, so we do our best to engage with each other outside of our roles virtually. Whether it is our Water Cooler Wednesday, board games, book club, or our most popular slack channel by far, Pets of Journera, we try to virtually recreate the best part of being in a physical office which is getting to know each other as people.
