Our Core Team sits at the center of our platform, building the foundational systems that power lightning-fast search, seamless bookings, secure payments, and a smooth customer journey at massive scale.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is ready to take ownership of complex technical challenges, influence key architectural decisions, and help shape the future of a global product used by millions every day.

What You’ll Do:

• Build the core of our platform — high-performance backend services and APIs in C#/.NET powering search, reservations, pricing, authentication, and payments.
• Modernize and evolve our architecture — from legacy .NET Framework components to modern .NET 9/10 services.
• Drive system performance — improve caching strategies, reduce response times, and increase platform reliability.
• Lead high-impact projects — new integrations, distributed workflows, partner APIs, event-driven features.
• Quality and security — clean code, automated tests, CI/CD excellence, and secure-by-design development.
• Collaborate across teams — Supply, Data, Frontend, QA, DevOps — to deliver seamless customer and partner experiences.
• Mentor and empower others — sharing expertise in architecture, optimization, and modern .NET practices.

What we expect from you:

• 5–7+ years of backend engineering experience with deep expertise in C#/.NET.
• Strong SQL Server knowledge.
• Solid understanding of API design, distributed systems, caching, performance, and reliability.
• Experience with secure development, OAuth2/OIDC, and modern authentication flows.
• Familiarity with CI/CD, Git, Docker/Kubernetes, and observability tools.
• Clear communication, ownership mindset, and the ability to work across teams.
• Bonus points: experience with travel/e-commerce systems, cloud/IaC (Kubernetes/Terraform), or fraud/bot prevention.

What we offer:

• Salary 3500 - 5500 gross based on skills and experience.
• Make a real impact on a platform used by millions globally.
• Work on complex, high-scale challenges across search, booking, payments, data, and distributed systems.
• Hybrid work model: 3 days in the Riga office, 2 days remote.
• 8 hours of paid self-development time each month (post-probation).
• Comprehensive health insurance (after probation).
• A culture that encourages initiative, creative thinking, and meaningful ownership.
• Opportunity to shape systems, architecture, and processes from the ground up.
• Professional training programs to grow your expertise.
• Department-level team buildings and full-company events (Winter Ball, Summer Festival, etc.).
• Fresh fruits and healthy snacks every Tuesday and Thursday.
• Relaxation zones with a yoga room, massage chair, and cozy chill-out areas.
• Fully equipped game rooms: air hockey, table football, board games, chess.
• Modern office near Riga city center with panoramic views of the Daugava.
• Fully stocked kitchens — unlimited tea, coffee, hot chocolate, syrups, muesli.
• Shower facilities for active commuters.
• Special recognition for every work anniversary.
• Thoughtful holiday gifts for you and your children.
• Festive office events and masterclasses for Easter, Midsummer, Christmas, and more.
