We leverage our brands, technology, and capabilities to connect our global audience with partners through rich content, travel guidance, and two-sided marketplaces for experiences, accommodations, restaurants, and other travel categories.

The subsidiaries of Tripadvisor, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRIP), include a portfolio of travel brands and businesses, including Tripadvisor, Viator, and TheFork.

The Tripadvisor Experiences Engineering team is distributed across Europe and is responsible for the platform, mobile apps and all their supporting infrastructure.

We provide the tools which help our customer services team provide world class service to travellers and operators internationally.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Android to join our fast-growing team. This role is open to candidates based within a commutable distance (generally up to 1.5 hours) of our office hub in Kraków. We are unable to offer B2B contracts at this time. We embrace flexibility in where and how work gets done and also value meaningful in-person moments to connect and collaborate. You can expect a remote-first working model with periodic in-person gatherings at your closest office for team connection, planning, or other key moments.

Within Tripadvisor we have a fun and friendly environment where the key objective is getting things done. Our engineers take part in the full process from design, to code, to test, to deployment and back again for further iteration.

Our tech stack includes Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and GraphQL in a modular layout that follows the clean-architecture concept with MVVM.

Would you like to build features end to end? Would you enjoy working with a large number of technologies? Do you like moving quickly, releasing features daily, working with other smart and talented engineers? If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk to you.

What you will do

• Code! Our engineers focus on doing what they enjoy most and do best, writing code
• Touch code at every level – while the focus is app development, you’ll also have opportunities to work on backend microservices
• Collaborate closely with Product and design teams to define feature specifications and develop high quality deliverables for our customers
• Take responsibility for all aspects of software engineering, from design to implementation, development experience, QA and maintenance

• At least 8 years’ experience of commercial software development, solving different kinds of technical problems
• Experience with reactive programming in native mobile platforms
• Willingness and ability to take on new technologies
• Ability to break down complex problems into simple solutions
• High quality verbal and written communication skills
• Sense of ownership and pride in your work
