Description

HotelTonight makes it remarkably easy to book great hotels at amazing rates, for tonight, tomorrow and beyond. Our goal is to be the premier and most loved way to book a place to stay and we’re looking for a Data Engineer to do just that.
In this Data Engineering role, you will hold the keys to the infrastructure that powers the way that HotelTonight thrives on data.  By leveraging the latest technologies to tap into our firehose of data, your systems will open up new paths for analysis and discovery, and give our users the ability to create incredible travel experiences for themselves.
Your attention to detail and ability to lock down the fundamentals will provide you with the strong foundation to excel in this role, and give you the ability to anticipate the needs of the company and our users.  You will leverage this foundation to design and implement innovative solutions to our hardest data problems, and ensure their quality and effectiveness with robust verification processes.
