  • System Enhancement: Participating actively in discussions around system design, identifying opportunities to improve service scalability, performance, and monitoring (SLOs/SLAs)
  • Integration Projects: Leading the technical implementation of new integrations with external airline and GDS partners, navigating complex communication protocols and data schemas
  • Code Quality and Mentorship: Upholding high standards for code quality through thorough code reviews, mentoring more junior engineers on best practices, and driving engineering excellence
  • Implementation and Review: Writing clean, performant code, contributing significantly to the codebase, and performing code reviews to maintain quality and share knowledge
  • Technical Problem Solving: Collaborating with senior engineers to troubleshoot, debug, and resolve challenging production issues in a distributed system
  • Requirements Planning: Partnering with Product Managers and Product Operations to understand business requirements, decompose features into technical tasks, and estimate delivery timelines
  • System Exploration: Deeply exploring and improving the existing codebase and contributing to engineering improvements for the core flights product

Requirements:

  • Feature Ownership Track Record: A working history of owning the technical implementation, testing, and deployment of features throughout the development life cycle
  • System Contribution: Experience working on and contributing to the design of highly available microservices in a production environment
  • Language Proficiency: Strong proficiency in Scala or other JVM languages, such as Java/Kotlin
  • Distributed Systems Experience: Familiarity with various service communication methods, including gRPC, Pub/Sub, and REST, and practical experience working in a distributed environment
  • Collaboration and Communication: Excellent communication skills, demonstrating an ability to effectively collaborate with developers, product managers, and operations teams to achieve feature goals
