For more than 20 years, HolidayCheck is one of the leading eCommerce companies within tourism. Our vision is to make vacation better. We leverage technology competing in a very challenging environment and with over 600 (micro) services running on a cloud infrastructure, we serve millions of offers coming from billions of combinations every day to customers looking for their dream vacation.
 
We excel with modern software, creative ideas, and agile teams. Teams are empowered to foster their contribution to the bigger goal by choosing the right technology for the right problem. We value on code reviews, self-organization, and flexibility. Collaborating with others is key, as taking decisions as a team is as well.

Your Tasks

  • Maintaining, testing, and deploying microservices, and taking ownership over time
  • Designing solid, scalable architectures while balancing performance considerations with a pragmatic problem-solving approach

  • Partnering closely with developers, Product Managers, and the Platform team, while staying curious, asking questions, learning from others, and sharing knowledge

What you bring

  • At least 4 years of professional experience in developing backend systems and services in distributed environments, ideally using microservices 
  • Experience with and enthusiasm for Agentic Coding, along with an interest in evolving toward a solution architect/orchestrator role rather than focusing solely on hands-on coding

  • Proficiency in Scala or modern Java (with an interest in learning Scala), as well as familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases
  • Appreciation for giving and receiving honest, constructive feedback
  • A genuine passion for the work you do
