About the Role
We are looking for a product-focused Senior Software Engineer to join our Experiences Engineering team. This is a full-stack role, leveraging Java, SQL, React, AWS and AI tools. You’ll build and maintain highly scalable distributed systems that power travel experiences for millions of users globally. We embrace flexibility in where and how work gets done and also value meaningful in-person moments to connect and collaborate. You can expect a remote-first working model with periodic in-person gatherings at your closest office for team connection, planning, or other key moments.
Responsibilities
- Lead Technical Design: Own features end-to-end, leading the design and implementation of highly visible features while balancing security, privacy, and performance.
- Translate Strategy to Action: Work with Product and Data partners to turn high-level business goals into clear technical specifications, often serving as the technical lead for multi-quarter initiatives.
- Elevate the Team: Set the bar for code quality, lead the adoption of review standards, and mentor junior and mid-level engineers.
- Master Agentic AI: Use AI tools as a strategic partner to plan approaches, decompose ambiguous work, and establish new standards for monitoring and reliability.
- Architect for Resilience: Define the operational strategy and design highly fault-tolerant architectures, proactively identifying structural risks and setting the team-wide standards for automation, monitoring, and long-term stability.
- Optimize Systems: Actively look for opportunities to simplify, consolidate, or retire legacy code to reduce complexity and increase team velocity.
Requirements
- Typically look for 5+ years’ experience, following a Bachelor’s degree or above in Comp Science or a related field.
- Deep understanding of concurrent programming and experience building high-performance, scalable backend systems in cloud environments.
- A habit of asking "how will we know this worked?" and using operational data or experiment results to validate every significant technical decision.
- Strong experience in at least one modern backend language (e.g., Java, C#, Go, Python) and familiarity with modern front-end frameworks.
- Fluent coding with either Cursor or Codex/Claude/Open Code.
- Comfortable making rational tradeoffs between non-functional requirements and delivery speed in an evolving environment.
- Proven ability to build relationships across disciplines and communicate technical trade-offs to non-technical partners.
- Experience with NoSQL databases, GraphQL, Kafka, or containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) is a plus.
- Experience building tools or abstractions that provide leverage to an entire engineering team is also a significant plus.
- Curiosity and the ability to solve problems creatively.
- Open to working within the Java ecosystem.
