Sydney, Australia Luxury Escapes Full time

**Be part of the team transforming global travel experiences**

Luxury Escapes is one of the world’s fastest-growing travel websites, with over 6 million members. We are growing rapidly & seeking an Engineering Manager to join our Search team.

At Luxury Escapes, we've been focused on expanding in 3 big ways:

- Increasing the number of product verticals (hotels, cruises, tours, experiences, etc)
- Increasing the range of products within each vertical (our customers want choice)
- Expanding internationally (geographies make for interesting problems)
- At Luxury Escapes all engineers, regardless of level, have a desire to remain _hands-on_ with their coding - so if you want an immersive environment where you can truly influence the success of a high-traffic platform - this could be the role for you_

**Working at Luxury Escapes**

Our mission is to delight our customers with incredible deals for the world's best holidays. We are a collective of forward-thinking people, driven to challenge the travel industry and ourselves to bring outstanding travel experiences to our customer community.

Our Sydney office is on Kent Street - a short walk from Wynyard station and close to great cafes in Barangaroo.

Luxury Escapes is an in-person company, with 4 days in the office, and 1 day WFH.

**About the Team**

Our cross-functional teams include Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers focused on delivering solutions and solving problems rather than simply completing tickets. The structure is flat, and the process is lean, with a culture of MVP, iteration, and "build, measure, learn" at the heart of everything we do.

Employee experience is king here, with weekly events, monthly recognition programs and significant professional development opportunities. (We have won awards for it - but the HR team don’t like to brag much)

**About the role**

As we've grown, having a fantastic on-site search has become increasingly important. Our search team's goal is to let customers find relevant products, quickly and easily. As part of this, the scope will include:

- Geographies (we're using GeoJSON, PostGIS & Redis geospatial indexes).
- Search typeahead & typeahead relevancy tuning (currently in Postgres, moving to OpenSearch).
- Ingestion and indexing of data across all product verticals (we're using Amazon SQS, Postgres, Redis, and OpenSearch).
- Of course, our search results page - what we show, and how we show it. We're also evaluating vector databases for effective free text search.

**Relevant skills**:

- JavaScript / Node.js / Typescript
- React (our frontend uses react and redux)
- SQL (we use PostgreSQL)
- RESTful API design
- Automated testing and continuous integration
- Experience using Elasticsearch or AWS OpenSearch to build and maintain search systems
- Experience with search algorithm design
- Experience with micro-services

We are looking for those with a strong background in software engineering, with experience designing search systems using Elasticsearch, AWS OpenSearch, or similar technology.

**Our Perks & Benefits**

We consider our people one of our most important assets - and we want our team to love their working lives When you work for Luxury Escapes, you can look forward to:

- Excellent Remuneration package
- 20% Discount on Luxury Holidays and Experiences
- Breakfast and lunch are provided 5-days a week
- Health and Well-being programs
- A bonus day of birthday leave
- A super collaborative team that enjoys creating great platforms
- We embrace diversity in our people and make hiring decisions based on your experiences and skills. We do not discriminate based on gender identity, religion, race, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status. You'll find a collaborative, inclusive, and respectful workplace here at Luxury Escapes, and we are proud to celebrate who you are. Please let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments during the interview process._
