Director Software Development Engineering
About The Position
The role is a strong fit for someone with proven experience managing data pipelines at-scale who enjoys pairing with Product and Data Science to build machine learning feedback loops that will be exposed by traditional REST APIs and AI native APIs. Travelport is the brains behind lots of your travel bookings- plane, car or hotel. Our technology is used to book that magical holiday, infamous bachelorette party or long overdue school reunion. While we can’t solve mosquito bites or lost luggage, we can simplify a lot of the technical parts of travel, and we’re looking for the best thinkers to help us do it.
Requirements
- Strong experience designing and managing data pipelines with Kafka, Iceberg, and Spark in a Kubernetes environment.
- Good working knowledge of AWS, including how to build secure, scalable and automated cloud environments.
- Comfortable working across multiple teams to identify and implement working solutions.
- Experience leading change across engineering teams, including adoption of new tools, processes and standards.
- Hands-on experience developing MCPs.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and build our AI native travel search APIs by building machine learning feedback loops fronted by MCP servers.
- Create repeatable and cost effective patterns for deploying and running data pipelines at-scale.
- Collaborate with Data Science on designing data pipelines that simplify training models and bringing models to production.
- Act as a mentor and technical partner for teams, helping engineers build confidence with new tooling and delivery processes.
- Balance hands-on technical contribution with the ability to influence, communicate and drive change across the organization.
