We'd like you to help make us even better.

What about Lodging Technology?

Our teams have flexibility to make the technology choices that best provide customer value to partners. As a member of the team, you’ll be involved in these choices. As an example, most teams build RESTful services, typically with simple APIs using JSON. These are usually built on the JVM with Java but some pick Scala, Clojure and Kotlin. Some teams use node.js. Many teams are decomposing their systems into microservices to make things easier to maintain and continually deploy. When appropriate, teams build reactive or streaming architectures, optimizing for the user experience. We also have teams working on front-end solutions, generally using React.js. Your team will be cloud-native or moving enthusiastically to AWS. We organize for feature velocity, so wherever appropriate, your teams will use AWS services like Lambda, Kinesis, Elasticache, Aurora, DynamoDB and of course EC2, ECS and S3. To further help speed things up, you’ll look to build on top of open source systems and libraries like Redis, gRPC, Akka, Cassandra, and MongoDB.

Do you believe in being different, can you lead humbly, act as One Team, draw upon the scientific method, organize for speed while remaining transparent? If you answered yes, we'd love for you to help us continue our mission to revolutionize travel through the power of technology.

In this role you will be responsible for managing a growing team of Software Development Engineers in an agile development environment.
