Your Mission
- Architect, develop, and optimize API integrations with major OTAs (Viator, GetYourGuide, Peek Pro) and future distribution partners.
- Design an API transformation layer using Octo.travel standards to streamline future integrations.
- Develop highly scalable .NET (C#) microservices, ensuring fast, secure, and reliable OTA transactions.
- Leverage Azure Identity Management for secure API authentication and authorization.
- Manage real-time data synchronization, ensuring up-to-the-second accuracy of availability, pricing, and bookings.
- Own the entire API lifecycle, from development to deployment, using Swagger for endpoint management.
- Design and implement best practices for API rate limiting, webhooks, and payload transformation.
- Troubleshoot and optimize performance bottlenecks, ensuring near-zero downtime in API connectivity.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business teams to enhance our API-first travel distribution strategy.
