Job Description
Will you join us on a journey to disrupt the trillion-dollar travel industry? We are looking for the best and brightest who share our passion for travellers, data and product.
FindHotel believes travel is the one thing that opens minds to new ideas, cultures, and ways of thinking. Our mission is to GET EVERY TRAVELLER THE BEST ACCOMMODATION DEAL, WORLDWIDE. From adventure travel and backpacking to honeymoons and family vacations, we genuinely care so that every traveller can make the best-informed accommodation choice at the absolute best conditions for every trip.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Senior Back-end Engineer to help build the best content and mapping product in the industry. You will be joining FindHotel’s Marketplace Platform Tribe, where you will be working with other squads across tribes and closely interact and actively collaborate with the software engineers, data analysts, data scientist, and PO in the team.
We are working with a modern stack consisting of Go, Python, AWS (ElastiCache, StepFunctions, EC2, S3), Snowflake, dedupe, and more. We process large amounts of content daily and integrate with many suppliers. Content and mapping products are an important part of FindHotel’s platform. They allow us to offer the best possible comparison and offers to every traveller, worldwide. Hence, anything that you will develop and ship to production will have immediate effect on our users and on our business performance. We work in a flexible, result-oriented and customer-centric team structure, focussed on shipping value in a collaborative fashion, with hopefully just the right amount of bureaucracy.
What you will actually be doing / responsibilities
Work in a team to solve challenging problems, and design and develop content and mapping products.
Integrate and improve (new) provider integrations by adjusting and training mapping models.
Work with data analysts and data scientists to identify and implement improvements in the mapping of various providers.
Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvements in terms of performance and code quality.
Help improving our infrastructure and scale it to support our continuous growth in a cost-effective way.
What a day in the office might look like
In the morning, you and your fellow engineers have a refinement session with the PO to discuss the upcoming features on the roadmap. You carefully consider the impact of the new feature on the entire product and raise questions and make suggestions of what is the most pragmatic approach to balance the technical excellence with the time to market. You are part of a discussion that builds on top of each other suggestions, ideas and comments. Today you have chosen to come to the office and after lunch you play table tennis or pool or go for a walk with colleagues in the city centre. In the afternoon, you enter a deep work period and finish working on improving one of the provider’s mapping models. Once down with that work you jump on a zoom call with the rest of the team to discuss the challenges and next steps with the PoC the team is building in this sprint. Throughout the day you monitor the product operations using DataDog.
Who we are looking for / requirements
You hold a BSc or MSc in Computer Science or related field
You have a proven track record of designing, developing, and shipping highly scalable software
You have a proven track record working in a fast-paced agile environment
You have strong experience with at least two programming languages such as GoLang, C#, Java
Experience with GoLang and Python is a plus
You have experience with setting up data pipelines and good understanding of machine learning concepts
Experience working with data analysts and data scientist on analysing data and identifying improvements is a plus
You have experience with distributed systems
You have experience with any of AWS, GitLab, CodeFresh, Terraform, Jenkins and Travis
You have a sense of pragmatism, constantly finding the right balance between achieving technical excellence and delivering value to the end users.
You are flexible, curious, and independent, with a strong sense of ownership
You treat documentation as a first-class citizen.
You have excellent verbal and written communication skills
You have a can-do and can-learn attitude
Why join now?
This year we will be helping +1.5M customers around the world find better hotel deals, using data, transparency & industry-leading features
We are in fast growth mode and have been growing bookings by +100% YOY for the past 2 years and still growing very fast in 2020 despite the pandemic

OUR TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT
Our Engineering Team consists of over sixty five Senior Software Developers that are responsible for the end-to-end ownership of our platform, from architecture through to infrastructure.

It’s very much a “best tool for the job” mentality at Form3 and our tech-stack is continually evolving but to give you a flavour of what we’re currently working with here are some of the tools we use;
Whilst experience of the above technologies would be nice, it is by no means essential. We are looking to speak with well-rounded, Senior Software Developers who have a breadth of experience across a variety of programming languages, have an understanding of distributed systems and cloud computing alongside an appreciation of automation and the DevOps culture. Candidates should also value the importance of code quality and software development best-practice, whilst being passionate about technology and enjoy working collaboratively within a team.

Phone screen with our Talent Team (30-45 minutes)

We work closely together as a company
We’re a small team with a big vision, so no-one specialises too much - we wear many hats week-to-week. We’re grappling with a large problem so there are plenty of challenges to be faced but we face them one sprint at a time. Your role here would see you working with the founders of the company and the rest of the team on a wide range of issues to bring our vision of a better credit bureau to reality.
You can work with a host of great technologies
To give you a flavour of our technical stack, we use:

love writing elegant and well-tested software

We strive to provide a friendly, fun, supportive remote-working culture and we refine our processes to make remoting easier. We will welcome your ideas and contributions. We provide computing equipment and cover reasonable costs incurred from running a home office.
Normally, as a new starter, you'd come to the office for a few weeks to get to know each other. Due to Coronavirus you will no-doubt join us remotely, at least temporarily, which will bring interesting challenges in how best to introduce you to, and integrate you into, the development team—how to train you, how to help familiarise yourself with our systems and ways of working. We see this as an interesting challenge so we’re working it out at the moment. We're planning a fully-remote ‘onboarding’ process with team meetups, one-to-one sessions and pair programming as well as online social gatherings for you when you join.
If you'd prefer to primarily work from our office this option will still be available to you after lockdown.
