Job Description
We are looking for a qualified back-end developer to join our extremely talented development team at TripCreator. Our mission is to make travel planning as easy as ABC to provide our customers with the best experience.
If you have experience working with integrations, writing high quality code and maintaining it through production, as well as researching to solve the unsolvable, then this position is for you.
You will work with real-time availability and geospatial data to derive travel itineraries that make sense in time and space, decide how to implement solutions to algorithmic problems in order to yield optimal results, and tie it all together with our front-end developers to create a product our customers love to use.
Our stack:
In the back-end, we’re a Scala shop riding on Akka and Postgres. Our architecture is actor-based and message-driven. We integrate with top travel businesses to get real-time car rental, accommodation, flight inventory. We use ElasticSearch for text search and open street maps for geospatial calculations.
On the front-end, we serve single-page apps using TypeScript and React for the views, organize the server-side with Node.js. We use Styled Components for the stylesheets and bundle it all up with the Webpack.
