Palo Alto, United States Amadeus Full time
Principal Software Development Engineer (m/f/d)

Job Title: Principal 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, the performance, the resiliency, and the 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 not only extremely high expectations in terms of reliability and performance but also in regards to 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 but also of 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 support from 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 on different sites (NCE, BLR, ERD, BHO).
