Backend Developer at Spectrum One focused on developing and maintaining backend services and APIs. Collaborating with front - end developers in a fully remote setting.
About the role
- Staff Software Engineer leading the evolution of the OpenAPI platform for enhancing travel experiences. Collaborating on API development, architecture, and partner integration strategies.
Responsibilities
- You’ll act as the technical lead for your team.
- You will own the full lifecycle of our new APIs, from design and versioning to rollout, deprecation, and continuous improvement, with a clear focus on reliability, performance, and partner experience.
- You’ll collaborate with Product and Partner Success to shape the OpenAPI roadmap, balancing new capabilities with platform hardening and scalability.
- Over 12–18 months, your impact will be visible in stronger partner adoption, higher API reliability, and faster time-to-integration for OTAs and TMCs.
- You will define and evolve the architecture of our OpenAPI platform, ensuring it scales to support new products, partners, and traffic levels.
- Establish and champion API design standards (OpenAPI specifications, versioning, backward compatibility) across teams building on the Indirect Booking Ecosystem.
- Lead complex, cross-team initiatives such as shared libraries, common integration patterns, and reliability improvements that span multiple services and squads.
- Own key non-functional outcomes for our APIs, including latency, availability, error rates, and partner integration success.
- Partner directly with OTAs and TMCs’ technical teams to understand their needs, guide integrations, and turn their feedback into improvements to our platform and documentation.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional experience designing and building scalable software solutions in an Agile/Scrum environment.
- Proven experience leading technical discussions and driving decisions that balance delivery speed, maintainability, and long-term system health.
- Deep understanding of Java (Spring Boot), cloud deployments (preferably AWS), and distributed system design.
- A strong understanding of testing and the test pyramid, as well as pipelines and feedback loops, with a focus on quality delivery (JUnit, Mockito).
- Solid computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, system design, and performance optimization.
- Extensive experience designing and evolving public- or partner-facing APIs, ideally using OpenAPI/Swagger, with a strong focus on usability, consistency, and backward compatibility.
- Hands-on experience with API platforms and integration patterns (e.g., API gateways, OAuth2, API keys, rate limiting, webhooks vs. polling, idempotency, resiliency patterns).
- Proven track record leading multi-team or multi-service architectural initiatives, such as API redesigns, large refactors, or migrations in distributed systems.
- Experience working directly with external partners’ or enterprise customers’ engineering teams to deliver integrations or platform capabilities.
- Travel, airline, e-commerce, or other highly regulated domain experience is a plus, especially if you’ve worked with complex transactional systems.
- Demonstrated experience mentoring developers, performing code reviews, and improving team velocity and quality metrics.
- A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
