We are looking for an impassioned Software Engineer to join our growing company.

FlipKey is looking for an impassioned Software Engineer to join our growing company. You will be a contributing member of a small engineering team and help the group through all development phases, including architecture, coding, and implementation.

About FlipKey:

FlipKey is majority owned by TripAdvisor, and provides a trusted resource to help consumers find vacation rental accommodations online. Unlike hotels, it is very difficult for consumers to locate and book a vacation home confidently. FlipKey is tackling this problem through collaborative social inputs, back-end booking mechanisms, and additional tactics we simply refer to as “special sauce”. Our offices are located in downtown Boston.

Types of projects you will be working on:

  • Application Development in Python (or other)
  • Integrating with WSDL (and other) data feeds
  • Database and data management
  • Co-ordination efforts with partners, developers, and outside contractors
  • Backend Support for Web Development on a LAMP (GNU/Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) stack
  • Some of the suggested skills we are looking for:

  • Object-Oriented programming language experience across multiple languages
  • Very comfortable in GNU/Linux, Unix, *BSD
  • Strong understanding of MySQL (or general database optimization)
  • SOAP experience
  • Proficient with XML
  • Experience implementing security standards a plus
  • PHP or other Web-based scripting technology experience (CakePHP, Django, Rails, or other MVC platform a plus)
  • A passion for Free Software
  • Desired Experience Level is about 2-6 years, but we are more interested in your talent and drive.

    Please submit your resume and a link to any online portfolios or projects you are a part of to jobs@flipkey.com.
