About the Project

We are migrating from a legacy Tripadvisor-to-Apple data feed to the modern Apple Business Connect Push API. The goal is to build a robust integration that ensures seamless data flow, aligning with evolving API standards and enabling greater scalability and accuracy.

This role involves end-to-end ownership of the project—from architecture and development through migration and delivery. The engineer will collaborate closely with the Engineering Manager and Product Manager to ensure alignment on design, business context, and delivery goals.

Responsibilities

• Design the integration between Tripadvisor’s API and the Apple Connect Push API in collaboration with the Engineering Manager.
• Present and iterate on design proposals with the backend team.
• Build a system to retrieve, transform, and deliver data from Tripadvisor to Apple Connect.
• Drive the migration strategy from the legacy system to the new platform.
• Deliver high-quality, production-ready code that integrates with the existing infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
• Maintain awareness of the team’s infrastructure, environments, and operational standards.
• Collaborate regularly with the Product Manager and Engineering Manager to incorporate business requirements and validate implementation choices.
• Work independently with support available from the team during onboarding and as needed for technical or contextual guidance.

Profile

We are looking for someone who is comfortable working with a high degree of independence, can contribute effectively to system architecture discussions, and delivers high-quality results within a defined timeframe. A successful candidate will balance initiative with collaboration, integrating feedback from teammates while maintaining forward progress.
