Job Description

Hey, we're Pickyourtrail.

10 years in, profitable, and still moving like a startup. We build products that make travel feel less like a chore and more like something people actually look forward to. Speed is our mode. Ownership is our culture. And we're just getting started.

What we're building

Fluid is our corporate travel product — built for companies that want to stop wrestling with clunky travel tools and actually get things done. Think clean interfaces, smart workflows, and a product that just works. We're in build mode and looking for someone to lead the charge on the frontend — and someone who understands what it takes to build systems that hold up as we scale.

What you'll own

The frontend of Fluid — architecture, quality, and everything in between
Building scalable, performant systems that don't fall apart when usage grows 10x
Technical decisions that actually matter — how we structure components, manage state, handle performance
Shipping fast without breaking things (and fixing things fast when they do break)
Leading and mentoring engineers on the team — you raise the bar just by being in the room
Bringing a strong technical voice into product conversations — not just executing, but shaping what gets built
Collaborating closely with product, design, and backend to ship end-to-end, not just your slice of it

What you bring

6–10 years of frontend engineering experience
React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js are non-negotiables — you've shipped all four in production, at scale, and you have strong opinions about how to use them well
Proven experience building scalable applications — you know what breaks at scale before it breaks, and you design for it upfront
You've been part of building or owning an end-to-end enterprise application — you understand the full picture, not just the UI layer
You've led or mentored engineers — not in a checkbox way, but in a way that actually made them better
A collaborative mindset — you work with people, not around them. You share context, seek input, and make the team smarter
High agency — you don't wait for perfect information or a detailed brief to start moving. You figure things out, make calls, and own the outcome
You move fast, communicate clearly, and don't wait to be told what to do

Bonus points if you've

Built B2B or enterprise-facing products
Worked on complex booking, workflow, or fintech interfaces
Obsessed over design systems, micro-frontend setups, or frontend observability
Dealt with scale challenges — high traffic, large data sets, complex state across distributed systems

Why you'll like it here

Real ownership — no one's going to micromanage how you build
A product that's early enough to shape but a company that's stable enough to bet on
Chennai-based team that ships fast and has fun doing it
Competitive comp and room to grow into bigger roles as Fluid scales
