Cape Town, South Africa G Adventures Full time

About Us

G Adventures is the world’s largest small-group adventure travel company and we’ve been making epic travel memories happen on all seven continents for over 30 years.

Our mission is simple: to change lives through travel. And not just our travelers’ either. Since day one, our tours have been built to establish meaningful relationships with local communities, directly benefiting the people and places we visit at every step of our tours.

With the demand for travel coming back strong, we are set up and excited for this next chapter in our company’s story — and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

Our DNA revolves around building, nurturing, and developing a diverse culture of people and a true sense of belonging, where everyone is encouraged to bring their authentic self to work each and every day. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your career, and yourself, alongside a passionate, talented, and welcoming community that works hard to spread goodness around the world.

If all that sounds like your kind of thing, well, we can’t wait for you to join us.

About the Role

Changing the world through travel: that’s been our goal since 1990. Sure, call us dreamers (wouldn’t be the first time), but that idea has been at the heart of everything we’ve ever done and has helped us grow into one of the biggest adventure travel companies on the planet. 

Our developers are excited to work at G Adventures because we love tech, travel, and changing people's lives. We pride ourselves in working in an open-source environment with the ability to select the right tools for the job. Our industry, adventure travel, is fun and there are many challenges for curious software engineers, or even just slightly inquisitive ones.

You’ll be joining the Reservations Systems team within the amazing Technology department here at G. Your role will focused on helping to drive our reservation system, Compass, and related applications forward. Compass is used globally by our Sales, Operations, and Finance teams and continues to evolve as we expand and modernize it.

We believe that embracing our unique perspectives and expertise is key to our success as a collaborative team. We are seeking product-minded, empowered individuals who work collaboratively with their globally distributed peers on interesting problems. We value diversity, attracting the best people in the world to serve as colleagues.
