* Maintain supplier integrations across hotels, chains, and experiences to ensure stability and fault tolerance.
* Develop real-time personalization and ranking logic to improve customer discovery and booking conversion.
* Enable AI-powered experiences by building APIs, data pipelines, and scalable systems that support recommendations, personalization, and conversational interfaces.
* Develop and maintain database schemas, queries, and stored procedures (MySQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch).
* Deploy and optimize services on Linux and AWS environments (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway).
* Implement and evolve microservices architecture; design APIs for communication between services.
* Monitor backend systems in production, troubleshoot issues, and deliver timely fixes.
* Collaborate with product, growth, and engineering peers to translate customer needs into backend solutions.
* Participate in code reviews, debugging, and documentation to ensure quality and maintainability.
* Stay current with new backend and AI technologies, bringing forward ideas for innovation and scale.
