Introduction to team
Escapia (part of Expedia Group) empowers professional vacation rental managers and helps facilitate dream vacations for thousands of travelers worldwide. We’re looking for creative, T‑shaped engineers who go deep technically while collaborating broadly. You’ll build customer‑facing features and optimized next‑generation workflows grounded in targeted data analysis and direct customer feedback. Expect challenging problem spaces — payment processing, search optimization, guest management, property management workflow optimization, and opportunities to apply domain‑driven design, event streaming, and rock‑solid APIs that drive business efficiency. Escapia software already fuels billions in booking revenue (including Vrbo) and we’re just getting started — advancing a large, mature product into cloud‑native services supporting a $1B+ bookings business.
Join our full‑stack engineering team (React/TypeScript; .NET, Node.js, and Kotlin), organized into distributed agile pods across the US and internationally. You'll collaborate across domains including reservations, availability, owner services, and distribution.
In this role, you will:
Define React application architecture (routing, data loading, error boundaries) enabling advanced capabilities and experiences in Escapia
Design federated GraphQL schemas (ownership boundaries, pagination, versioning) aligned to domain‑driven boundaries; evolve schema for workflow optimization & experimentation
Architect services aggregating domain APIs (caching, resilience, event streaming integration) driving operational efficiencies
Drive migration of prior‑era web-pages (strangler & incremental rollout patterns) with measurable UX, accessibility, and performance improvements
Optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP/FID, CLS) & sustainably reduce bundle footprint using profiling & data‑driven decisions
Establish test pyramid (unit, contract, e2e, visual regression) & CI quality gates; codify standards for reliability
Introduce performance & error telemetry (RUM, Sentry, traces, usage analytics) with actionable dashboards and KPIs
Mentor engineers (design critiques, pairing, growth plans) fostering T‑shaped skill development
Influence design system evolution (reusable, themeable component patterns) accelerating feature velocity
Implement secure auth/session flows (OAuth 2.0, token lifecycles, PII handling) and enforce least privilege
Advocate for deletion: retire obsolete code paths & redundant APIs; document rationale for simplification
Align modernization and feature delivery with business outcomes (retention, task completion time, booking conversion, reliability)
Participate on‑call rotation for Escapia services; contribute to incident postmortems & reliability improvements
Minimum Qualifications:
8+ years frontend or full‑stack; 3+ years technical leadership
Deep React & TypeScript (concurrency features, performance profiling)
GraphQL schema & resolver design at scale (federation, batching, caching)
Node.js or Kotlin production API architecture
Delivered multi‑quarter migration/platform initiatives
Strong web performance track record
Excellent technical communication (concise RFCs, data‑backed proposals)
Mentored senior & mid‑level engineers
Additional Qualifications:
React Server Components / Streaming SSR (Next.js or custom)
Kotlin coroutines, Spring Boot / Dropwizard
AWS (CloudFront, Lambda, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, RDS/Aurora, SQS/SNS)
Event‑driven design (Kafka topics, pub/sub, backpressure handling)
Advanced caching (edge/CDN, revalidation, stale‑while‑revalidate)
Experimentation & feature flag governance (LaunchDarkly, internal tools)
Security best practices (OWASP, CSP, dependency risk mgmt)
