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:
Own end‑to‑end delivery and domain modeling of feature epics across domains — translating business outcomes into technical milestones validated via instrumentation. Design domain‑driven GraphQL/REST APIs with clear boundaries, leverage event streaming for efficiency, and ensure scalable evolution.
Architect React app structure (routing, state, data, error boundaries) enabling intuitive reservation, availability, payment, and guest management flows
Design GraphQL schemas (federation, pagination, versioning) + REST fallbacks rooted in domain‑driven boundaries; evolve schemas to support search optimization & workflow orchestration
Build Node.js BFF & Kotlin services for property management, payment processing, search relevance, guest lifecycle, and efficiency features leveraging event streaming where valuable
Collaborate with product & design on roadmap sizing, sequencing, and MVP scoping
Implement API + data changes enabling new UI capabilities (validation, lifecycle state transitions, reporting)
Design & implement migrations (.NET Framework 4.8 → .NET 8 minimal APIs / ASP.NET Core)
Lead design reviews; produce ADRs clarifying trade‑offs
Elevate testing strategy (contract, integration, perf, load)
Automate observability (structured logging, tracing, metrics, dashboards)
Mentor SDE I/II engineers (pairing, scoped delegation, review coaching)
Guide containerization & AWS deployment (ECS/Fargate, selective Lambda)
Partner with product managers to define KPIs (conversion, booking modification success, statement generation time)
Evaluate build vs reuse vs buy options for new functionality; articulate trade‑offs
Minimum Qualifications:
5+ years professional C#/.NET
CLR internals understanding (memory, threading, async, GC basics)
Advanced SQL Server (query tuning, indexing, transactions)
Hands‑on API design (REST standards, error models, pagination, versioning)
Architectural patterns (DDD, layered, event‑driven)
Effective written & verbal technical communication
Proven mentorship improving code quality norms
Additional Qualifications:
.NET 6/8 performance features (Span, source generators, minimal APIs)
gRPC service & streaming design
REST API development (Node / Java / Kotlin), exposure to GraphQL preferred
Strong JavaScript & TypeScript fundamentals (ES2022+, types, generics)
AWS (ECS, RDS/Aurora, CloudWatch, SQS/SNS, API Gateway) / Azure equivalents
IaC (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation)
Kafka/event streaming; eventual consistency patterns
Performance/load testing (BenchmarkDotNet, k6, JMeter)
Security practices (OWASP Top 10, threat modeling, secret rotation)
Container build optimization (Docker multi‑stage, caching)
Cross‑stack familiarity: React, Node.js, GraphQL, Elastic Search, MongoDB, Dropwizard/Kotlin services enabling full‑stack collaboration
