Our mission at Booking.com is to create transformative, innovative, and personalized travel experiences for millions of customers all across the world. We want customers to have an amazing experience wherever and whenever they choose: mobile, web, and through partners and 3rd parties.
About the team - Cloud Ecosystems: The Cloud Ecosystems group builds, operates and enables use of private and public cloud infrastructure within Booking.com. Compute capabilities are provided on platform instances that are privately owned and centrally managed by Booking.com. These platform instances, and the workloads running on them, are hosted both in Booking datacenters (“on-premises”) and on public cloud infrastructure (AWS and GCP). The Cloud Ecosystems team in Bangalore is responsible for shaping the future of our internal cloud platforms by improving the security, governance, reliability and developer experience of our cloud environments. This includes building scalable internal platforms, strengthening cloud governance, and improving the paved-path experience for teams consuming cloud infrastructure. As part of this mission, we are strengthening our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) foundation by building a well-governed landing zone, improving security guardrails, introducing platform automation, and enabling safe adoption of GCP for AI, automation and business workloads. Key Job Responsibilities and Duties: The core premise for the Booking Platform Engineer lies in designing, building, and maintaining internal platforms, to provide developers with self-service tools and automation for deploying and running software efficiently and reliably. We code our way out of problems where operations are concerned, addressing availability, scalability, latency, and efficiency challenges within the vast infrastructure here at Booking.
