Job Description

The Company :

It wasn 't so long ago that booking a trip to see the Eiffel Tower, stroll
down New York's iconic Madison Avenue or feel the sand between our toes on
Copacabana Beach was simply a matter of a few taps on our smartphone.

In fact, that's what we do at Booking.com. We make it easier for everyone to
experience the world. And while that world might feel a little farther away
right now, we're busy preparing for when the world is ready to travel once
more.

Across our offices worldwide, we continue to innovate. To solve for some of
the most complex challenges in travel and technology, and to plan for the
exciting developments that lie ahead. With strategic long-term investments
into what we believe the future of travel can be, we are opening up new career
opportunities that will have a strong impact on our mission.

We are united in the belief that our very human desire to explore the planet's
beauty and discover more about other people and cultures will endure. The
world is waiting for us. Together, we will be ready.
