Job Title: Senior Software Development Engineer (m/f/d)

You probably think that working for an online travel agency that manages hundreds of millions of bookings per year or working for an airline that operates hundreds of thousands of flights per year must bring their fair share of challenges. If so, just try to realize the scalability, performance, resiliency, and geographical distribution challenges that are behind the system that powers 150 airlines, hundreds of websites, tens of airports, and thousands of hotel properties. Just one fact to illustrate: In peak times, we process more than 17,000 transactions per second (1 billion+ transactions per day) at an average system response time of less than 0.3 seconds.

Do you have ideas on how to improve travel for everyone? Do you find the idea of working in a diverse, multicultural environment exciting? Are you ready to make an impact across the world? Great, then join us Let’s shape the future of travel together.

Software Engineering Challenges at the Core of a Software-Defined Network

AMADEUS has drastically evolved the network architecture with the move to the cloud, enabling a fully decentralized, more efficient operating model, with better segmentation and enhanced security. Today, hundreds of network devices (Palo Alto, NSGs, Kubernetes Policies), deployed all around the world, are managed automatically and independently with a powerful abstraction layer, the AUD ('Amadeus Unified Descriptor'), that captures and interprets user intent defined as code and compiles it into optimized device-specific rules and configuration.

With circa 3 million links currently deployed in the Cloud and almost a hundred daily user-defined connectivity changes, the AUD is a production system with extremely high expectations in terms of reliability and performance, as well as user and developer experience. The functional evolution of the product is planned in close agreement with the changes on the Network, Infrastructure, and Platform HLD, but given the transversal nature of the network and the large customer pool, the team interacts with and gathers requirements from almost every business unit in Amadeus.

The AUD has been implemented with distributed, cloud-native architecture and, even though it’s designed and tailored to cover the needs of Amadeus today, the group aspires to create an open standard for managing connectivity in the cloud, with a modular, extensible approach that serves the purpose of Amadeus and the general public.

The team in charge of the AUD Core operates as an agile team in the Infrastructure Train (SAFe ART) and is empowered to take decisions autonomously with the support of the Train Leads, Line Organization, and Sponsors. At Amadeus, we value diversity, collaboration, and innovation. As the leader of the AUD Core team, you will work with members with different backgrounds and cross-functional expertise (software development, network engineering, quality assurance, product management) who are based in different sites (NCE, BLR, ERD, BHO).

Main Accountabilities:

  1. Analyse specifications:

    • Define user requirements for the development of new (or upgrade of existing) software solutions.
  2. Design systems and write code:

    • Design technical solutions and perform feasibility studies.
    • Propose viable technical solutions to Product Management and/or users for validation.
    • Architect and develop software according to specifications and Amadeus standards.
    • Model, design, and implement storage solutions.
  3. Test and maintain the software, operate a service, support users:

    • Design testing strategies, including implementation of unit tests, integration and/or performance campaigns, and ensure a level of quality in line with the Amadeus guidelines.
    • Operate and troubleshoot problems on critical services.
    • Support the customer by debugging existing solutions in collaboration with Product Manager or Product Definition Analyst.
  4. Document your work:

    • Produce software documentation necessary for the application and issue it to the requesting departments.

Experience and Skills:

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in software development in one or more programming languages, preferably Golang and Java.
  • University degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
  • Experience in designing and building distributed systems, ideally with cloud-native architecture.
  • Knowledge of network engineering in cloud and/or hybrid environments is advantageous.
  • Experience in building, operating, and troubleshooting critical services.
  • Deep knowledge of lean mindset and practices applied to software engineering.
  • Excellent communication skills (English).

A critical mission and purpose - At Amadeus, you will be powering the future of travel and pursuing a critical mission and extraordinary purpose.

A truly global DNA - Everything at Amadeus is global, from our people to our business, which translates into our footprint, processes, and culture.

A caring environment - Amadeus fosters a caring environment, nurturing both a fulfilling career and personal and family life. We care about our employees and strive to provide a supportive work environment.

A complete rewards offer - Amadeus provides attractive remuneration packages, covering all essential components of a competitive reward offer, including salary, bonus, equity, and benefits.

A flexible working model - We want our employees to do their best work, wherever and however it works best for them.

A diverse and inclusive community - We are committed to leveraging our uniquely diverse population to drive innovation, creativity, and collaboration across our organization.

A reliable company - Trust and reliability are fundamental values that drive our actions and shape long-lasting relationships with our customers, partners, and employees.

Diversity & Inclusion:
