About Us:

At Booking.com, data drives our decisions. Technology is at our core. And innovation is everywhere. But our company is more than datasets, lines of code or A/B tests. We’re the thrill of the first night in a new place. The excitement of the next morning. The friends you encounter. The journeys you take. The sights you see. And the memories you make. Through our products, partners and people, we make it easier for everyone to experience the world.

Role Overview:

At Booking.com, consistency, accessibility, and inclusivity are core to how we craft our traveler experience.

The UI Standards team defines the principles and guardrails that ensure every traveler can navigate our app with clarity, confidence, and ease.

We focus on three key pillars:

  • Enabling adoption - building the tooling, libraries, and automation platforms that make these standards easy to integrate for all product teams.
  • Ensuring governance - creating observability and monitoring mechanisms that track adherence and support continuous improvement.


As an Android Engineer in the UI Standards team, you’ll contribute to building and scaling these foundations.

  • Implement automation, CI/CD checks, and linting or testing tools that detect and enforce UI standards across teams.
  • Contribute to defining, testing, and scaling new patterns and components that improve app-wide usability and semantic correctness.
  • Partner with product teams to drive adoption of standards and gather feedback to evolve the framework.
  • Participate in technical design discussions, documentation, and knowledge sharing to help other developers build consistent experiences.
  • Engage in continuous improvement through A/B testing, experimentation, and performance optimizations that balance user delight with accessibility compliance.


Qualifications & Skills:

  • Android Development Experience: 1-3 years of experience in Android application development using Android SDK.
