Job Summary

The Software Engineer (C++) will lead the architecture and design of latency-critical services and libraries within the airline and travel technology domain. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, performance engineering, and collaboration to develop and deliver high-quality solutions. The successful candidate will engage in various stages of the software development lifecycle, ensuring code quality, performance, security, and compliance with industry standards.

Responsibilities

• Architecture & Design (IC Ownership): Lead end-to-end design for latency-critical C++ services and libraries including inventory, pricing/ticketing, codeshare, and NDC flows. Produce architectural documentation and ensure the integrity of API contracts.
• Delivery Excellence: Break down complex requirements into actionable milestones, maintaining high standards for code quality, testability, and operability. Conduct rigorous code reviews and advocate for coding standards in modern C++.
• Performance & Reliability: Establish benchmarks for latency and throughput, own observability practices, and conduct post-mortem analyses of incidents to implement corrective actions.
• Security & Compliance: Implement secure-by-design practices and ensure adherence to security and regulatory requirements in the software development lifecycle.
• Domain Leadership & Collaboration: Gain deep insights into airline data models and processes, collaborating effectively with Product, QA, and external stakeholders while mentoring less experienced engineers.
