Development Manager

This role is eligible for our hybrid work model: Two days in-office.

Our Technology team is the backbone of our company: constantly creating, testing, learning and iterating to better meet the needs of our customers. If you thrive in a fast-paced, ideas-led environment, you’re in the right place.

Why this job’s a big deal:

Every search on Priceline puts our back-end systems to work. They handle hundreds of millions of searches a day, collecting and parsing data from thousands of partners to find the best deals for our customers. As a Development Manager in Flights, you’ll lead one of the teams that make that happen, and the role is yours end to end: you’ll grow the engineers on your team, own what ships and when, and lead your team technically on systems that run at that scale. You’ll do it in a stable, cross-functional product team with its own Product Manager, so your team takes work from idea to production instead of handing it off. It’s a lot of ownership, and what your team builds goes live in front of real travelers.

In this role you will get to:

• Hire, coach and grow the engineers on your team, with clear feedback and real support for their careers.
• Run day-to-day delivery for your product team: sprint planning, stand-ups and retrospectives, and clearing whatever is blocking progress.
• Own on-time, high-quality delivery: plan timelines, allocate work across the team, and track progress with metrics like velocity and burn-ups.
• Partner with your Product Manager to turn the roadmap into a delivery plan, and keep product and engineering in step.
• Lead your team technically, working with Solution Architects to make sure quality, security and performance standards are met.
• Work with other Flights teams and platform teams on initiatives that cross team boundaries.

Who you are:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven leader in hiring, mentoring, coaching and developing engineering talent, including performance management.
• Experience running delivery with agile practices such as Scrum, including sprint planning, retrospectives and delivery metrics.
• Comfortable leading a team that works across several languages, keen to learn new ones, and using AI tooling to support development.
• Familiarity with one or more of programming languages: Elixir, Go, JavaScript, Python, Java or C#.
• Strong system design background
• A resourceful problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment and removes barriers for your team.
• Experience leading the development of high-scale systems and system integrations.
• A track record of living Priceline’s values: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability and Trust.
• The Right Results, the Right Way is not just a motto at Priceline; it’s a way of life. Unquestionable integrity and ethics is essential.
