Software Engineer - React & NodeJS (Full-time)

Orlando Informer is reshaping what's possible in theme-park hospitality. We create distinctive experiences and lifelong memories for families from around the world. We're looking for an exceptional Software Engineer to build thoughtful, reliable technology that powers our guest experiences and helps our team deliver hospitality at scale. Founded in 2011, Orlando Informer is a theme-park vacation-planning company that helps millions of people each year plan better visits to Orlando's biggest destinations. Since 2015, our signature private events, the Orlando Informer Meetup, have given thousands of guests after-hours access and unique experiences at their favorite theme parks. Orlando Informer is also an authorized retailer of theme-park tickets and hotel stays.
