Engineering Manager – Platform Engineering / SRE (all genders)
About Amadeus Media (Hospitality)
As part of Amadeus Hospitality, the Media division focuses on driving demand and increasing client market share through data‑driven travel advertising across multiple channels, including web search, display, social media, Global Distribution Systems (GDS), and mobile platforms. Our customers include hotels seeking to attract more guests, destinations aiming to increase visitor numbers, and airlines working to reach more travellers worldwide. Over the years, Amadeus has built a leading travel advertising platform powered by first‑party travel data and strategic partnerships with major advertising partners such as Google, Meta (Facebook), and Microsoft. This platform enables us to reach billions of travellers globally every day and continues to grow rapidly thanks to our engaged, international teams. Unlike traditional media agencies that rely solely on third‑party tools, Amadeus has developed its own advertising platform to support unique travel use cases and more precise targeting. Built on a modern microservices architecture (Golang, Scala, Python, GraphQL), the platform processes up to 300k transactions per second, leverages a petabyte‑scale Google BigQuery data warehouse, and runs advanced AI models generating up to 500k predictions per second. It is hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) across four global regions.
