Job description

Location: Remote or Amsterdam, NL(Visa sponsorship available)

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 really opens minds to new ideas, cultures, and ways of thinking. Our mission is to get every traveller in the world the best accommodation deal. From adventure travel and backpacking to honeymoons and family vacations, we deeply 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 Back-End Engineer to help build the most scalable and flexible APIs in the industry. You will be joining FindHotel’s Marketplace Platform Tribe. 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, Redis, AWS (ElastiCache, ECS, S3, Batch), Snowflake, and more. We process thousands of requests per second and integrate with many suppliers and other partners. The products developed by the Offers team are a core part of FindHotel’s platform allowing us to offer the best possible comparison and offers to every traveller, worldwide. Hence, anything that you will develop and ship on production will have an immediate effect on our users and on our business performance. We work in a flexible, results-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 products that will help to bring to our travellers the best deals available in the market. Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvements in terms of performance, reliability, and code quality. Integrate and improve (new) provider integrations. Help to maintain and improve 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 a core component in the rates and availability API. 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 is a plus
• You have experience with caching and setting up data pipelines.
• Experience working with data analysts and data scientist on analyzing data and identifying improvements is a plus
• You have experience with distributed systems
• You have experience with AWS, Terraform, and CI/CD tools.
• 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 +2M 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 in 2020 despite the pandemic
• Completing our mission means building an efficient tool users love. Doing that in a market as large and as competitive as online accommodation is a rare opportunity to make an impact in the online world.

Is FindHotel is the right place for you? Find out by reading our CEO's blog post

What we offer:

• Plenty of chances to learn and grow – you’ll be surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the city, be part of a culture which values sharing knowledge every day and has a budget to attend conferences and develop yourself.
• A profitable company with fast growth and a great scale opportunity.
• A competitive compensation package + perks and benefits (including Stock Appreciation Rights).
• Flexible time off (take as many holidays as you need) and a chance to work remotely - we measure results, not time spent in the office.
• You will be part of a highly international team in a fun work environment.
• We value good food and offer catered lunches from various cuisines, great coffee, ice-cream in the fridge and the occasional bbq in our garden

Job Description

Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands (relocation & visa) or remote (European time zones).

WHO WE ARE

After the 2008 financial crash, the international financial and business environment is more regulated than ever. The amount of required paperwork has increased exponentially. The deals are being blocked, the accounts are being frozen, the business is often getting paralyzed.

Project Plato was born in 2015 as an autonomous R&D unit working for Dolfin, an established British investment company, with the aim of automating sensitive business operations. We are a young and ambitious team frustrated by inefficiency of existing solutions.

5 years later, with the help of our software solutions, Dolfin was able to have

• $4.1bn in client assets under management
• $650m monthly brokerage flow
• 10x increased speed of customer and employee onboarding
• 30x more efficiency of its compliance officers

But this is only the beginning. Our mission is to help companies and business professionals around the world communicate with each other and do business with trust and simplified paperwork.

OUR TECH STACK

As a serious, business-oriented company, we develop our solutions exclusively in COBOL.

Just kidding! We use modern and diverse IT infrastructure. Our solutions are web-based, with backends in Golang andPython and frontends in Typescript and React. Data storages include PostgreSQL, DynamoDB and Amazon S3. The infrastructure consists of multiple backend services managed via Kubernetes/Helm, integrated with various AWS and third-party services. We also use Google Bazel, a secure and robust build system.

We strive to make our development process predictable, change-proof and well-organized to achieve the fastest possible product delivery pace without compromising reliability.

OUR TEAM

We are still small: Project Plato is less than 15 people in total but we are planning to grow to 20 soon. As part of the Project Plato back-end team, you will be working closely with Oleg and another 3 senior engineers. Oleg is our lead backend engineer who has been part of the team since 2015 when we established our office in Amsterdam. We are a group that values trust, growth, agility, mutual respect, taking ownership, and learning from each other through a culture of open feedback.

Job requirements

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR

• You have a math or computer science background. No diplomas needed, but knowing your graphs and big-Os is a must.
• You know your way around web services. Parlez-vous HTTP? Veux-tu un cookie?
• You know well at least TWO of: Golang, Python, C++, Java/C#, Typescript.
• You are familiar with modern build systems (especially code generation), Unix-based operating systems, Docker/Kubernetes and cloud services.
• You are a self-learner. You can analyze the code and documentation yourself, and you can ask questions when needed. Our team is small and focused, and we do not have spare time for thorough tutoring :(
• You are passionate about quality and reliability. This is not a social media app startup, we deal with big money and strict regulations.
• You are able to take honest and direct feedback and openly discuss the problems.
• You are not afraid of complex problem domains.
• Knowledge of frontend technologies is a plus.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO

• Build and improve web applications for our customers using our frameworks and libraries
• Ensure the application architecture allows easy maintenance and support
• Tune the application performance by optimizing queries, storage and algorithms
• Integrate the applications with 3rd party services (AWS-based and others)
• Work with our customers to define business rules using our domain-specific languages
• Maintain and improve our build and automation infrastructure

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

• Modern technological stack
• Challenging projects with enough possibilities for personal development
• Freedom to do what you do best
• Flexible work schedule
• Working in a team of the most senior developers with high standards and looking out for the most efficient solutions
• Personal development budget, chance to attend courses and conferences abroad
• Top-notch work equipment
• 25 days of holidays
• Above market rate salary
• Culture of learning, agility, innovation and open feedback
• Optional relocation to Amsterdam + Visa sponsorship if needed

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.
