Introduction to team :

The Lodging Connectivity Organization at Expedia Group builds and operates the partner connectivity platform that integrates lodging supply from global partners into the Expedia marketplace. Using an in-house platform and APIs, we enable millions of travelers to discover lodging, shop ancillaries, and access rich content via a two-way marketplace that connects supply and demand.

We focus on scalable, high-performance systems and are building the next‑generation connectivity platform. Our work spans APIs, tools, services, and processes for end-to-end partner integration. Typical technologies include Java/Kotlin, Spring, GraphQL/REST/gRPC, MSSQL, Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, Redis, AWS, Datadog and Splunk. We encourage experimentation with new technologies while balancing short- and long-term goals, and we prioritize product quality and delightful customer experiences.
