“Hopper is a culture of makers. We build things.”
“We don't want to optimize; we want to change the world.”

Working at Hopper means making an authentic impact on the way people arrange and enjoy travel. By allowing booking to be simple and affordable, we’re breaking down the barrier to adventure at scale. The speed at which we design, form, and deploy changes create a dream environment for those who thrive on independence.
Our approach is one centred around consistent communication, earning users trust. We avoid outdated pressure tactics and opt instead for what we believe is the future of great travel. A tailored solution, that removes anxiety around decision making, ensuring the user always finds the best possible deal, within a process that's playful and effortless.
Building an incredible product takes an incredible team. Here, everyone has an impact — on the app and on the millions of travelers who use Hopper every day. At the heart of Hopper is our users’ trust in us, our expertise, and our passion. So everything we build, we build for them.
We move quickly, testing and iterating, thinking big and planning for the future we want, where everyone can travel. Peek any whiteboard and you’ll find grand plans. Pop into a meeting and hear world-changing, maybe even crazy, ideas. Scribble solutions on a napkin. Brainstorm over the espresso machine. This is how we build — together.
How did the humans behind the bunny find their careers? From developers to data scientists to designers, we all have the same goal: redefine how the world books travel.
Learn how the humans behind the bunny found their careers. From Engineers to Designers, Hopper’s mission is the same; help others travel the world.
Scale for impact. Our product helps more than 600k merchants worldwide do what they love. There are no small problems at Shopify; every project you touch will have a real impact on merchants’ livelihoods, and that makes our work incredibly fulfilling.
Propelled by ambition. We’re growing quickly and, like a rocket ship, we show no signs of slowing down. We want to define the future of entrepreneurship, be a 100 year company, and the global engine that powers commerce.
Learn with the best. Talented people choose to work with us because we provide everything they need to feel challenged, hone their craft, and learn from one another. Surround yourself with a world-class team and level up quickly.
Be curious. Analyze everything. Read everything. Reread everything. Question everything. Never stop learning, whether it’s a skill, a marketplace, the user, the industry, the world. Share knowledge and encourage wondering.
Be empathetic. Believe in humans, not consumers. Build for travelers, not end users. Advocate for individual experiences, kill friction and understand what really matters.
Be fearless. Embrace autonomy, ambition, and risk. Stand up for your scariest ideas. Disregard the way things have always been done in favor of better, bigger, and downright wild.
Be responsible. What you do is part of who you are. Own your decisions. Take action. You might not be the best person to fix everything but nothing is ever “not your problem.”
Be open. Respect different voices. Welcome unique points of view. Strive to understand, not just accept. Champion each other.
Our departments range across data science, engineering, design, product and customer support, working to drive growth, creativity, and a deep understanding of our customer's needs. Throughout them all, you'll find a consistent mentality and desire for collaboration.
A ukulele-playing developer, an engineer-turned-data scientist, a copywriter-turned-marketer-turned-product manager: at Hopper, backgrounds are diverse and unique, and pathways for growth are limitless. How will your story add to our mix?

We know that part of being our best selves at work means having fun outside of working hours. Expect board game nights, barbecues, karaoke bars, lunch-and-learns, and company-wide offsites. We like to have fun, what can we say?
As much as we prefer to have fun, at times workdays can be stressful. We've got these times covered, organising events, games, BBQs, ping-pong tournaments, karaoke, lunch and learns, dinners and even team trips. We all like to adventure. After all, its what we do best.
