Our tech stack is primarily Java based. You will have both a Mac laptop and a Linux dev server for your work environment. Our storage engine is PostgreSQL, our backends are moving to micro-services, and our web front ends are in the process of moving to React and web components. With the number of visitors who use TripAdvisor on a daily basis, you can imagine that our big data is exactly that, and so your job will have you working with Hadoop (Hive, Spark, M/R) Kafka, and RedShift. We make liberal use of ML here, so you'll have the chance to support, or take part in, significant optimization projects.
