Within Tripadvisor, the Commerce team is responsible for maintaining the company's business-critical Hotel Auction, which runs billions of times per day to help travelers book the perfect hotel stay while generating hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. In addition to deploying highly-performant, consumer-scale web services that power the auction, we also maintain back-office systems that process a massive amount of data, delivering valuable insights to auction partners and business stakeholders.

• Develop expertise in one or more technical areas and share their knowledge with the team.
• Provide code-reviews to teammates, ensuring that a proposed change meets to the team’s coding standards, best practices, and audit requirements.
• Actively seek feedback from peers, and help promote a collaborative, fast-paced engineering culture.
