Introduction to team
The SPX Content team sits within the Supply Partner Experience organization and focuses on building and evolving the content experiences that power our lodging supply. We own core product features in Partner Central and Vrbo Dash, including property amenities management, photos management, regulatory experiences, and room types and rate plans for both live and onboarding properties. Our mission is to ensure partners can easily create, manage, and optimize high‑quality property content so travelers get accurate, rich information and our supply performs at its best across Expedia Group brands.
You will join a team of talented and creative software engineers, who follow an agile practice. We are based in Shenzhen, but we collaborate with multiple Expedia Group’s teams around the world. Every developer is given a high level of ownership to permit learning and fully own the products.
In this role, you will:
- Architect services aggregating domain APIs (caching, resilience, event streaming integration) driving operational efficiencies
- Drive migration of prior‑era web-pages (strangler & incremental rollout patterns) with measurable UX, accessibility, and performance improvements
- Build React app structure (routing, data flow, error handling) for Escapia features
- Design GraphQL schemas with clear service boundaries and data ownership; evolve APIs to support new workflows
- Optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP/FID, CLS) & sustainably reduce bundle footprint using profiling & data‑driven decisions
- Establish test pyramid (unit, contract, e2e, visual regression) & CI quality gates; codify standards for reliability
- Introduce performance & error telemetry (RUM, Sentry, traces, usage analytics) with actionable dashboards and KPIs
- Mentor engineers (design critiques, pairing, growth plans) fostering T‑shaped skill development
- Influence design system evolution (reusable, themeable component patterns) accelerating feature velocity
- Implement secure auth/session flows (OAuth 2.0, token lifecycles, PII handling) and enforce least privilege
- Advocate for deletion: retire obsolete code paths & redundant APIs; document rationale for simplification
- Align modernization and feature delivery with business outcomes (retention, task completion time, booking conversion, reliability)
- Participate on‑call rotation for Escapia services; contribute to incident postmortems & reliability improvements
Minimum Qualifications:
- 8+ years full‑stack /web services development; 3+ years technical leadership
- GraphQL schema & resolver design at scale (federation, batching, caching)
- Node.js or Kotlin or Java production API architecture
- Delivered multi‑quarter migration/platform initiatives
- Excellent technical communication (concise RFCs, data‑backed proposals)
- Mentored senior+ & mid‑level engineers
Additional Qualifications:
- React Server Components / Streaming SSR (Next.js or custom)
- Kotlin coroutines, Spring Boot / Dropwizard
- AWS (CloudFront, Lambda, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, RDS/Aurora, SQS/SNS)
- Event‑driven design (Kafka topics, pub/sub, backpressure handling)
- Advanced caching (edge/CDN, revalidation, stale‑while‑revalidate)
- Experimentation & feature flag governance (LaunchDarkly, internal tools)
