• Implement and evolve microservices architectures, following established design and coding standards.
• Propose technical solutions and participate in design discussions with senior engineers and Product stakeholders.
• Develop software in line with Amadeus engineering standards and best practices.
• Model, design, and implement databases and data persistence layers.
• Write and execute unit, integration, and performance tests to ensure quality.
• Participate in the validation phase of the product lifecycle and support fine‑tuning of solutions.
• Debug and support existing applications in collaboration with Product and Engineering teams.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation for developed components.
• Actively contribute to team knowledge sharing and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Hands‑on experience with Python and/or Java.
• Basic to intermediate experience with Kafka or similar messaging/queuing systems.
• Understanding of distributed systems and backend application development.
• Familiarity with microservices concepts and service‑based architectures.
• Experience with database design and data modeling.
• Ability to work independently on assigned tasks with guidance on complex topics.
• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

• Experience with high‑throughput or real‑time systems.
• Exposure to AI‑assisted development tools for coding, testing, or productivity.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, cloud‑native environments, or observability tools.
• Experience in enterprise or hospitality technology platforms.

Hospitality at Amadeus combines global scale, real‑world impact, and complex technology. Our teams build platforms that connect hotels with a wide ecosystem of partners worldwide.
