About Black Tomato

What we do

Black Tomato is a luxury travel company founded in 2005, specializing in bespoke travel experiences tailored to clients' emotional desires. Our mission is to create unique journeys that inspire curiosity and foster positive impacts on communities and the people around us.

Why work for us

Joining Black Tomato means being part of a dynamic team that values creativity and innovation. We are on a mission to combine deep human expertise with thoughtfully designed technology to facilitate our clients' remarkable travel experiences. This role sits at the heart of that effort – building the systems that connect our CRM, reservation platform, client applications, emerging AI tooling, and other custom applications.

Our development process

We are strengthening our core middleware and integration layer. Today, too much logic lives in individual systems or manual processes. This role exists to both design and build robust backend services and APIs that stitch our platforms together, reduce operational friction, and launch new client-facing and internal applications.

Our development team collaborates closely with other departments to ensure that our solutions align with our mission of providing personalized and transformative travel experiences.

Our values

At Black Tomato, we strive to live by our company values. This isn’t typical corporate speak – it’s a genuine embodiment of core personality traits:

Curious
Our world is fuelled by curiosity and innovation. We won’t do something just because it’s always been done that way, but because we believe it’s the best way to do it. We constantly ask questions of ourselves and are brave in everything we do.

Thoughtful
We are also a thoughtful bunch – we do not rush to judgements – and we are a company of thinkers who believe it’s what’s right, not who’s right, that matters.

Humble
We also strive to be humble in everything we do. We do not get caught up in the hype, and we give our absolute best. We rely on one another to make the remarkable happen – we are the sum of many parts, and we are strong enough to be honest about our weaknesses, rather than hide them through ego.

We take these values seriously, and character assessment forms a big part of our hiring process.

Our hiring process

Our hiring process is designed to identify passionate individuals who align with our values. Candidates can expect a series of interviews that assess both technical skills and cultural fit, ensuring that we bring on team members who are not only highly skilled but also share our commitment to company values and delivering a positive impact.
