That’s why we work tirelessly to make your experience of planning & booking flights, hotels and trips as seamless as possible.

About The Role:

We are looking for passionate engineers to join the Payments team. This is a team role and you’ll be involved in many aspects — helping evolve our existing architecture, working with teams to build robust backend systems for payment- and tax-related capabilities, payment checkout forms for the web, and implementing new features and functionality.

Duties And Responsibilities:

  • Ship and maintain robust and scalable backend services in Go.
  • Ship and maintain payment checkout forms in React.js.
  • Design and create services and participate in system architecture.
  • Help improve code quality through writing unit tests, automation, and performing code reviews.
  • Work with the product and design teams to understand end-user requirements, formulate use cases, and then translate that into a pragmatic and effective technical solution.
  • Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute ideas to technology, algorithms, and products.
  • Provide feedback to other team members.
  • Optimize the performance of the application for maximum speed and scalability.
  • Dive into difficult problems and successfully deliver results on schedule.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years experience in hands-on coding and system design as a backend software engineer or full stack engineer.
  • A product-minded engineer who cares about the "Why".
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Practical experience with Design Patterns, Design Principles, Software Architecture and Algorithms and automated tests (unit / integration / functional).
  • Strong web API knowledge and experience in developing highly available and robust APIs.
  • Willing to learn new technologies and programming languages.
  • Passion for clean and beautiful code with an eye for simplicity and pragmatism.
  • Familiarity with version control systems and development environments.
  • Experience with build processes, continuous integration, and continuous delivery.

It would be great if you have:

  • Experience with Go/React.js.
  • Familiarity with relational databases.
  • Experience with container technology (e.g. Docker).
  • Experience in cloud technologies such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform.
  • Experience working in the payment and tax/invoice domain.
  • Experience operating production APIs and services.
