Software Engineer - Front End

About Stash Hotel Rewards

We’re a small company with a big mission: to bring independent travelers and independent hotels together. That’s why Stash Hotel Rewards was born.

We’re in the travel business, so travel is one of our perks. Stash employees can stay at some of the best independent hotels for next to nothing. Which is easy to do, since we have no set vacation policy. We hire responsible people who get the job done on time, so we don’t need to watch over them. Our environment is casual and flexible — you’ll find us working from homes, coffee shops, and satellite offices. Our comprehensive benefits include a competitive salary, health and disability insurance, and a 401(k) plan.

We need people who are autonomous, creative, super-smart, and fearless. And let’s not forget nice.
