Senior Software Developer

This role is eligible for our hybrid work model: 2 days in-office

Senior Software Developer (Rust, Go, Swift)

Our Technology team is the backbone of our company: constantly creating, testing, learning and iterating to better meet the needs of our customers. If you thrive in a fast-paced, ideas-led environment, you’re in the right place.

Why this job’s a big deal:

As a Senior Software Developer on our Platform team, you will get to develop the next iteration of our high-traffic hotel distribution system, where every efficiency gain will impact the company’s bottom line.  You will have the opportunity to work alongside our chief architects to design and implement the new system, allowing you to ensure that the end product is evolvable, maintainable, scalable, and reliable.  In doing so, you will have the opportunity to work with the latest tools in API performance, including the gRPC protocol and Rust programming language, to implement software using Functional Programming patterns.

We are seeking an engineer who is proactive, thinks broadly about requirements, anticipates problems, and assumes responsibility beyond simply committing code to GitHub.  The ideal engineer should share our desire to focus uncompromisingly on code performance, comprehensibility, and composability.

In this role you will get to:

• Gather requirements, design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain features  for our hotel pricing and distribution system

• Be part of a high functioning agile development team that continuously experiments, iterates and delivers

• Support and improve Priceline’s core platform products, directly impacting the bottom line through your work on our low latency, high throughput applications

• Show off your skills by writing clean, scalable, testable, and efficient code and the associated tests

• Work closely with product managers, data scientists, and other dev teams to extend and debug our platform services

• Propose and implement improvements to the product, development processes, or anything else that seems incorrect or inefficient.  Let's make things better!

Who you are:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or related field.

• 7+ years of API-oriented software engineering experience (Rust, Go, Swift, Clojure, Haskell, Elixir, Erlang)

• 3+ years of experience of microservice design and module architecture

• Experience with database technologies (SQL, NoSQL)

• Experience with a cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud)

• Proficiency using dev-ops tools such as Git, CI/CD systems, monitoring/logging tools, and container technologies

• Prior experience working in the travel, hospitality, or e-commerce domains is a plus

• Familiarity with modern API technologies such as gRPC and graphQL is a plus

• Experience with the Rust programming language is a plus

• Demonstrated history of living the values important to Priceline: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability and Trust.

• The Right Results, the Right Way is not just a motto at Priceline; it’s a way of life. It’s therefore essential that you also meet our high standard of ethics, honesty, transparency and compliance.
