As part of the Hotel Search team, you will shape the future of trivago’s main product to help our users to find the ideal hotel. You will join one of our agile engineering teams of smart, motivated and curious people and work on our AWS platform to deliver the best and most relevant data to our millions of users and other trivago teams by utilising modern technologies like Apache Kafka, Kinesis, Redshift and Hadoop.
We’re looking for an entrepreneurial-minded problem solver, who is happy to trade perfectionism with pragmatism, execution and outcome. Someone who believes that factual proof, not seniority, determines which path to take. And, most importantly, someone who is not only willing, but embraces small-scale failures in an innovative and fast-paced environment as a path to large-scale success.
Does this sound like you? Then read on to see what trivago has to offer!
