Role description

The vision of Cloud Engineering is to provide the capabilities that enable the Booking.com tech community to build and manage world-leading cloud native applications for the online travel market and unlock Connected Trip.

Our mission is to provide the foundation, building blocks, training, security & compliance capabilities, cost management capabilities, enablement & operational support that allow all workloads to be built on one cloud platform in AWS. We will provide a platform and toolset that enables our customers to realize the speed and agility benefits of the AWS platform, providing access to a rich ecosystem of technology services spanning from infrastructure primitives to data and machine learning, to security, quantum computing prototyping, business applications and more.

We will provide great support for our customers through the journey for building on AWS, provide a frictionless onboarding experience that enables builders to build on day one, provide continuous support through our cloud enablement teams who will also continuously maintain and expand the library of building blocks available. We will ensure that public cloud is secure and compliant by default and available for workloads of all regulatory scopes.

The Cloud Finop’s Engineering team will be heart and soul to that journey, helping define and drive the adoption of Cloud in a cost conscious manner ensuring that teams get the most out of the AWS offering. Driving technical solutions to empower teams while providing guardrails and expertise for technical designs.

A Cloud Engineer at Booking.com is responsible for executing and technically implementing the cloud environment. The Cloud Engineer assists teams in migrating their current public cloud setups from existing environments. This includes helping teams new to the cloud, building tools, capabilities, and services. In this role, the Cloud Engineer is heavily involved in Fin Ops, guiding teams on cost-efficient cloud engineering through right-sizing, optimal choices, and a mix of technical architecture and design.
Cloud Engineer is also deeply involved in architectural decisions and hands-on work with various programming languages across both infrastructure and some software. We understand that the quality of test automation is as important as production code and spend time refactoring both to ensure ease of change, enabling a sustainable pace of development. The Cloud Engineer is expected to collaborate with colleagues in other roles to design, prioritize, and implement technical tasks. Given the diverse technical skills and commercial knowledge required across different business units, Cloud Engineer handles various types of work, from product features to infrastructure automation, frameworks, tooling, or services.
