What is the first thing you do when planning your next trip? Think about where you want to go, right? So come work for our team that helps travelers like you go places and makes our world more connected! Expedia Flights team is the traffic powerhouse for the Expedia group and our Flights Shopping Platform is one of the largest in the world serving over 150 million queries a day and powering some of the strongest brands in the industry like Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Wotif, Hotwire, and Ebookers. Our technology operations are global, with representation in the US, Mexico, Australia, and India.

What makes Flights technology unique?

  • Expedia is one of the few companies in the world that own a proprietary flight search engine (called Best Fare Search) which is used by millions of users daily.
  • And we are moving flights platform to AWS.
  • We handle several 100 thousand booking transactions every day and connect with all major GDS partners you can think of.
  • We collect TeraBytes of Flights Data and actively look to use Machine Learning to show the right content to our customers.

Our teams have the flexibility to make the technology choices that best add value to our beloved travelers and partners. As a member of our team, you will be involved in these choices. We are in the middle of evolving our platform and are actively decomposing our services into micro-systems to make things easier to maintain and continually deploy. As part of this evolution, you and the team will be cloud-native or be moving enthusiastically to AWS. We organize for feature velocity, so wherever appropriate, our teams will leverage 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.

Job Responsibilities:

You will also get the opportunity to serve as a domain guru in multi-functional feature delivery. Whether you choose to move ahead in your career to a Senior Developer or become a manager, this is the role for you to learn how to move to the next stage.

Required:

  • You have impeccable coding skills
  • First class communication skills in written and verbal form
  • Strong Object Oriented Programming concepts, data structure, algorithms, and system level programming (including multi-threaded programming)

  • Thorough understanding of Software Development Lifecycle and methodologies
