Role

Who you are

  • You are experienced in building connectivity to third party APIs using XML in a Java environment
  • Experience in the travel technology space (air, accommodation, car) a plus but not required
  • You are the sort of person who is passionate about building, learning and refining code/projects
  • You are a creator and problem solver, who sees what others don’t. You enjoy being both a team player and working independently
  • Extensive programming experience in developing, managing and maintaining connectivity to APIs
  • Experience in writing Java API applications, preferably in Spring
  • XSLT 1.0, 2.0 or above experience
  • You will work to gain a deep understanding of the architecture of the platform

  • Be a voice for continuous improvement in the teams development and release process
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment
  • Has strong verbal and written communication skills in fluent English
  • Think and empathise with our Customers

Desirable

  • Supply connectivity is Java / XML based service with connections to multiple providers of accommodation rates and supply
  • Backend is driven by .NET Core and employs state-of-the-art programming techniques like multi-threading, asynchronous programming, message driven architectures, distributed systems and microservices
  • Frontend is JavaScript using the latest version of Angular
  • Full cloud solution using latest AWS technologies
  • Event Sourcing and DDD
  • Git source control
  • Io and Cucumber testing frameworks
  • Working towards Continuous Integration with integrated testing pipeline to allow us to deploy to live, with confidence, multiple times a day
  • Although most of our core logic is written in C#, and Java/XML for connectivity, in Roomex.com we use the right tool for the job when it makes sense
  • We have lots of exciting challenges which need to be solved

What the job involves

  • You will be working as part of the Roomex engineering team on a product used by thousands of companies worldwide
  • You will work on exciting customer impacting challenges and get the opportunity to gain state of the art skills in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Working with squad, backend engineers, support, infrastructure and product roles
  • You will become responsible for planning, designing, developing, and managing Java-based XML connectivity to accommodation APIs
  • Developing and managing XML transformations, and executing Agile development tools
  • You will mentor and work alongside other team members through pair programming, code reviews, planning sessions and assistance when needed
  • Working closely with the other teams in Roomex to better understanding of features and their customer value
  • Taking opportunity to mentor and coach more junior members and provide examples of how good code should look

Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

Roomex’s travel booking and spend management helps companies and their employees easily book accommodation and manage their expenses. As well as its booking platform, the company has also launched a mobile app and debit card for employees to gain more visibility of their work-travel spend.

Despite the shift to remote working and digital meetings, the Business Travel market is still expected to grow significantly over the next half decade, putting Roomex in an opportune position. The company has grown steadily at home in Ireland and the UK since its foundation in 2004, and has gained custom from the likes of Mitsubishi, Dairygold, Kepak, and Müller, highlighting the attractiveness of its proposition.

Roomex was acquired by FLEETCOR, a US spend management company in 2022. With Roomex's footprint already visible in Germany and the US, it will further benefit from FLEETCOR's network with the intention of expanding its product and accelerating sales and growth.
