We are a TravelTech recruitment agency. We place booking engine, integration and revenue-management engineers with online travel agencies, hospitality platforms and tour operators. Tell us about the vacancy.

Why TravelTech hiring is different

Travel platforms are integration businesses wearing a booking interface. Availability, pricing and inventory live in other people’s systems, arrive over protocols that were designed decades apart, and disagree with each other regularly.

Engineers have to hold GDS and NDC integrations together, keep search fast while fanning out to slow suppliers, handle cancellations and partial refunds across currencies, and absorb seasonality that can multiply traffic within a week. That is a specific skill set, and it is not interchangeable with general web engineering.

How the search runs

  1. Brief. We agree the technical must-haves, which suppliers and protocols the role has to deal with, and a salary band that reflects how scarce integration experience is. Unworkable briefs get raised at this point.
  2. Search. We headhunt engineers inside OTAs, hospitality vendors and distribution platforms, who rarely respond to adverts.
  3. Screen and shortlist. We screen on the layer you are hiring into: supplier and GDS integration, availability and caching, pricing and revenue logic, or booking-flow reliability.
  4. Offer and aftercare. We handle offer and notice around booking-season constraints, then stay engaged through the first weeks.

Which TravelTech roles do you recruit for?

Booking Engine and Reservation Systems Engineer, GDS and NDC Integration Engineer, Pricing and Revenue Management Engineer, Backend Engineer for availability and inventory, Mobile Engineer for traveller and guest apps, Data Engineer for demand and pricing analytics, and leadership hires up to CTO.

Yes. We run Head of Engineering and CTO searches for OTAs, hospitality platforms and tour operators.
