This is a “mobile first” team that gets to work on our apps, both the TripAdvisor China app and our main app, as well as, the related mobile web and desktop sites.

If you want to see what this team built recently, check out the shopping features on the site and apps.

This was done across all platforms and both our apps (Chinese app and the main TripAdvisor app).

What you will bring to the team

  • A want to learn
  • An open mind
  • The desire to move quick

Our storage engine is PostgreSQL, our backends are all moving to micro-services, and our web front ends are currently Dust though we're in the process of moving to React and web components.
