Do you want to join us on a journey to change the
trillion dollar travel industry? We are looking for the best and
brightest who share our passion for data driven user experience.
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 traveler 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
enthusiastic, motivated front-end or full-stack engineers to help build
the best user experience for our brand new product. You will collaborate
with team members with a wide range of expertise, including other
engineers, UX experts, data analysts and a PO.
We are
working with a modern stack consisting of ES2016, React 16 and Redux. We
use babel and Webpack and our server runs on Node.JS. We employ unit-,
snapshot and end-to-end testing where it adds value, and use Flow and
ESLint / Prettier to keep our code base in good shape, even with
multiple A/B tests running simultaneously. We work in a flexible,
results-oriented team structure, focused on shipping value in a
collaborative fashion, with just the right amount of bureaucracy.
What you will be doing
- Work with your team to build an innovative multi-device hotel marketplace products. Besides your own specialization, you will be involved in shaping all key aspects of the product.
- Relentlessly improve the end-user’s experience and validate your work via A/B testing with real users.
- Optimize device-specific web experiences, including mobile phones, tablets and desktop devices.
What a day in the office might look like
In
the morning, you and your fellow engineers sit down with your Product
Owner, UX lead and a Data Scientist to discuss the trajectory of
an on-going A/B test. You decide together that based on available
data, a new variation for the way we display room perks on the mobile
search result page is expected to improve conversion. After lunch you
and the UX lead sketch the variation which you will build together with
your co-developers. While you deploy your experiment to the live site
you're already brainstorming about that new feature you want to build
for the tablet optimized version of the website, which is added to the
backlog of test ideas. After a few days, the Data Scientist will update
the team on the status of the A/B test, for which you and the team will
plan follow up tasks in the next planning session.
The squads
You
will be working with one of our multi-disciplinary squads to help you
shape the product to our users' needs. We currently have two customer
facing squads, one working on the search funnel, and another squad
dedicated to our new checkout process. We are happy to work with you
throughout the recruitment process to find the right squad for you to
start in.
You will work together with other squads such as
performance marketing and customer support, as well as the teams that
are responsible for building the services used by the product, such as
live offers, caching and event tracking solutions.
