- • Serve as a Senior Software Engineer on the Flights team, owning the full lifecycle of features from problem identification with product and design teams through to deployment and impact measurement.
- • Architect and build scalable, reliable systems to manage the complex domain of flight bookings, which involve numerous suppliers, failure modes, and operational dependencies.
- • Lead the design and documentation of technical solutions for core platform initiatives including self-serve post-booking flows, booking error recovery, and airline inventory scaling.
- • Define and uphold engineering standards across the stack, including CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies (E2E/Cypress), coding practices, and performance budgets.
- • Design and implement sophisticated backend systems involving API versioning, caching strategies, and large-scale data migrations.
- • Establish and maintain observability and SRE practices by defining SLOs, leading incident responses, and conducting blameless post-mortems.

- • Mentor junior engineers through direct coaching, code reviews, pairing sessions, and design doc feedback to elevate team-wide technical standards.
- • Influence product roadmap decisions by translating business goals into technical roadmaps and de-risking ambiguous projects through spikes and prototyping.

- • Participate in cross-functional squads alongside product, design, and operations to deliver customer-centric solutions with real ownership.
- • Shape long-term technical vision for the Flights domain by proactively identifying technical debt, prioritizing investments, and ensuring systems remain evolvable.
