Platform Developer

Data Developer - Data/ML

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

WHY THIS JOBS A BIG DEAL

The Global Platform Engineering (GPE) team, within the Data & AI/ML group, builds the foundational platforms that power Priceline’s most strategic data, ML, and AI initiatives. GPE team builds the CLIs, SDKs, APIs, services, frameworks, and operational systems that let data scientists, ML engineers, and product teams go from an idea to a governed, production-grade model or AI application on a single paved path. Our charter spans the full ML/AI lifecycle: from project scaffolding and feature engineering to training, serving, evaluation, monitoring, and agent orchestration.

WHAT YOU WILL GET TO DO

• Automation & CI/CD Practices

• Design, build, and optimize CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows for data and AI/ML platforms.

• Develop and maintain internal tooling and self-service frameworks to improve developer productivity for data and AI/ML workloads.

Production Operations & Reliability

• Implement and maintain logging, alerting, and monitoring solutions using tools such as Splunk, Cloud Logging, and New Relic.

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve production issues, including participating in incident response and root-cause analysis.

• Build automation and operational improvements to enhance platform reliability, scalability, and developer experience.

• Help embed security, IAM/RBAC, and policy controls into infrastructure and deployment workflows so the secure path is also the easy path.

Collaboration & Governance

• Partner with Data Architects, Data Engineers, ML/AI teams, and Infrastructure teams to align infrastructure with enterprise standards and governance policies.

• Facilitate collaboration between Data and AI/ML engineering and operations teams to ensure smooth delivery and release readiness.

• Participate in infrastructure design discussions, technical planning, and risk assessments.

WHO YOU ARE

• The Operational Driver: You are the engine that ensures data and AI/ML teams have the automated tools and stable environments they need to deliver actionable data.

• A Technical Bridge: You bridge the gap between software engineering best practices, cloud infrastructure, and data platform requirements.

• A Guardian of Excellence: You are responsible for the reliability, security, scalability, and sustainability of the systems that power critical business and analytics platforms.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.

• 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering, or related fields.

• Strong understanding of DevOps principles, CI/CD practices, and automation frameworks.

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.

• Familiarity with cloud-native data, compute, storage, and IAM services across major cloud providers.

• Experience with orchestration and workflow management tools such as Airflow or equivalent platforms.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.

• Strong experience with container orchestration platforms including Kubernetes and Helm.

• Exposure to CI/CD and deployment tools such as GitHub Actions.

• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms such as Splunk, Cloud Logging, and New Relic.

• Good troubleshooting, collaboration, and documentation skills.

• Illustrated history of living the values necessary to Priceline: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability and Trust.

NICE TO HAVE

• Exposure to AI/ML or GenAI pipelines in production — training, serving, evaluation, monitoring, retraining.

• Familiarity with SRE practices such as SLOs, error budgets, and on-call rotations.

• Background in high-traffic consumer or travel/e-commerce technology environments.

There are a variety of factors that go into determining a salary range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required. In addition to a competitive base salary, certain roles may be eligible for an annual bonus and/or equity grant.
