Job Details
Expedia Group brands power global travel for everyone, everywhere. We design cutting-edge tech to make travel smoother and more memorable, and we create groundbreaking solutions for our partners. Our diverse, vibrant, and welcoming community is essential in driving our success.

To shape the future of travel, people must come first. Guided by our Values and Leadership Agreements, we foster an open culture where everyone belongs, differences are celebrated and know that when one of us wins, we all win.
We provide a full benefits package, including exciting travel perks, generous time-off, parental leave, a flexible work model (with some pretty cool offices), and career development resources, all to fuel our employees' passion for travel and ensure a rewarding career journey. We’re building a more open world. Join us.
Introduction to the team
Private Label Solutions (PLS) is the B2B arm of Expedia Group. We open up our supply and innovative technology to businesses looking to take on the world of travel. These businesses, sometimes referred to as our demand partners, include global financial institutions (e.g. AMEX), corporate managed travel, offline travel agents (e.g. Flight Centre), global travel suppliers (e.g., Delta), and many more.
As a Software Development Engineer I, you’ll join a team building systems that operate at a global scale. You’ll work on high-throughput, low-latency APIs where availability, performance, and resilience matter — powering billions of travel transactions every day, while learning from experienced engineers and growing your skills.
In this role, you will:
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code using Kotlin and Java (experience in other modern languages such as TypeScript or JavaScript is also valuable)
- Work primarily on backend services, APIs, and data flows, with opportunities to contribute to frontend web applications as needed
- Collaborate within an Agile team across all phases of development, from understanding requirements and designing solutions to implementation, testing, deployment, and production support, with guidance
- Participate in code reviews, learning good engineering practices, and gradually contribute to technical discussions
- Help improve our systems for scalability, performance, observability, and fault tolerance by implementing features, fixing bugs, and addressing technical debt
- Partner with product and business stakeholders (with support from your team) to help build solutions that solve real customer problems at scale
Minimum Requirements:
We’re looking for emerging talent engineers (0–2 years of experience) who are passionate about solving problems with code and eager to learn. You don’t need to know everything on day one if you’re excited about the role and ready to grow. We’d love to hear from you.
- Must have 0–2 years of industry experience in software development (including internships, placements, or significant personal projects)
- Must have strong problem-solving skills and solid coding fundamentals
- Must have exposure to, and ideally medium proficiency in, Java and/or Kotlin
- Must have experience programming in at least one modern language such as Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, or similar (through coursework, internships, or personal projects)
- Must be good at computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, basic system design)
- Must have a growth mindset, you’re keen to learn, open to feedback, and motivated to improve both personally and technically
Preferred Experience:
- Helpful to have some experience or interest in backend services and RESTful APIs
- Helpful to have some experience or interest in Frontend frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular (nice to have, not required)
- Writing clean, maintainable code and an interest in CI/CD, testing, or DevOps practices
- Helpful to have effective communication skills and the ability to engage with a variety of partners (e.g., internal, external, technical, non-technical people)
As a team, we love to:
- Build reliable, scalable systems that empower millions of travellers and our partners
- Keep our codebase clean and our architecture elegant
- Learn from each other, share knowledge, and grow together through pair programming, reviews, and regular feedback
- Celebrate wins, reflect on misses, and always aim higher
- Use our travel perks to explore the world
What you’ll get:
- We’ll take your career on a journey that’s right for you, while recognising and rewarding your contributions:
- Competitive salary with clear growth pathways from SDE I and beyond
- Opportunities to develop into a domain expert and contribute to cross-functional initiatives as you grow
- Access to global tech conferences and workshops
- Travel discounts to help you tick off your bucket list
- A truly inclusive culture that values your background, perspectives, and ideas
