Our tech stack is primarily Java based. You will be provided with both a Macbook Pro and a Linux dev server for your daily work environment. Our storage engine is PostgreSQL, our backends are all Java microservices hosted in Kubernetes, and our web front ends are built using React and web components. With the number of consumers who use TripAdvisor on a daily basis, you can imagine that our big data is exactly that, and so your job will have you working with Hadoop (Hive, Spark, M/R) and Snowflake. We make liberal use of ML here, so you will have the chance to support, or take part in, significant optimization projects.
