Intern Travel Specialist

At Unravel, we're not building another travel platform — we're rewriting how the world discovers and books travel. Think TikTok meets Expedia, powered by cutting-edge Generative AI. Our shoppable video platform is already live with the world's top 10 banks, insurers, telcos, and airlines.

We are backed by renowned VCs like Nauta Capital, Active Partners, Antler, and The Players Fund, and led by AI pioneers and ex- executives. We've quadrupled our revenue in the past year, and we're just getting started.

For engineers, Unravel offers the best of both worlds: the excitement of a fast-growing startup and the opportunity to build mission-critical systems from the ground up. You'll help create low-latency search infrastructure, scale supplier integrations across hotels, chains, and experiences, and develop real-time personalisation and ranking engines that shape how millions of people book travel. Every feature you ship directly impacts reliability, conversion, and customer experience on a global scale.

If you're the kind of builder who ships fast, obsesses over quality, and wants to shape the next generational tech company, Unravel offers the ideal environment. You'll work closely with product and growth leadership, own your work end-to-end, and help define the technical backbone of a global platform.
