Client: Our client operates in the travel and hospitality industry and is building a high-volume distribution and integration platform connecting downstream systems with multiple Hotel Property Management Systems (PMS) and hospitality platforms. The platform supports mission-critical availability, rate, and inventory flows and is designed for scale, performance, and resiliency.
Project overview: The project focuses on high-throughput, low-latency distribution, handling complex hospitality concepts such as ARI (Availability, Rates, Inventory), restrictions, inventory blocks, and state reconciliation across event-driven and polling-based models.
The platform is built using Microsoft technologies (.NET and Azure), with strong emphasis on Azure infrastructure, DevOps, and relational data consistency.
Position overview: As a Senior Backend Engineer you will design, build, and maintain core backend integrations between the client’s platform and Hotel PMS / CRS / hospitality systems. This role requires hands-on experience integrating with at least one hospitality platform and strong domain knowledge of hotel distribution, combined with solid experience operating backend systems on Azure and SQL-based architectures.

Collaborate with product, QA, and partner technical teams on integration contracts.
Troubleshoot and resolve production issues with external hospitality systems.
Requirements: Integration experience with at least one hospitality platform (Hotel PMS or CRS).
Strong understanding of ARI (Availability, Rates, Inventory), rate plans, restrictions, and inventory allocation.
Experience with hospitality APIs and reconciling state across event-driven and polling systems.
5+ years as Backend Engineer with system-to-system integrations.
Proficient in .NET/C#, Azure (VMs, App Gateway, App Services, Service Bus), and Azure DevOps CI/CD.
Strong in REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and SQL databases (schema design, performance).
Knowledge of idempotent API design, concurrency, retries/backoff strategies.
Experience with high-throughput production systems and good English communication skills.
